Jeff Atwood

Jeff attained his Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies from University of Colorado at Boulder, attending an exchange program and post-graduate research with the Theology Institute of Uppsala, Sweden where he focused on ancient religions and New Religious Movements. While continuing qi (energy) cultivation during school, Jeff developed acute physical awareness. In the late 90s Jeff graduated from massage school in Philadelphia. His increasing body of knowledge and passion for health and healing fostered a self-developed bodywork style, blending key influences from teachers he met through the years.
Qigong theory of functional mobility guides his massage work, and his Religious Studies experience enables him to address the psycho-emotional influences to injury or physical conditions.

Stephanie Carter

Growing up, I wanted to be a ballet dancer…and eventually became a clinical psychologist. Somewhere along the way, I encountered the stress of life and discovered yoga and meditation. Eventually I realized that yoga combined my love of movement, the study of psychology, and much, much more. Plus, it made me feel really great!

I got my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Neuropsychology in 1998. After working in private practice and in the state mental hospital system for several years, I began teaching yoga at the state hospital to fellow staff members during my lunch hour, which became the highlight of my work week. This encouraged me to enroll in and complete teacher training at the Esther Vexler Yoga School in 2010, and to register with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200). Since then I have continued my studies in therapeutic yoga, Anusara and Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga, and also became certified in the Yoga Warriors method and Core Strength Vinyasa. I’m thrilled to spend my time teaching both yoga and psychology, and providing coaching and consultation on yoga and mental health issues.
