Studio Spotlight – Stephanie Peterson
STEPHANIE PETERSON
(AKA LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE)
When this “Windy City” native is not in the yoga studio, you’ll likely find her running all over town training for her next marathon. She loves being active and is quick to share a smile with everyone she meets.
Stephanie first started practicing yoga while living in a suburb of Chicago. She found it was a good way to relieve the stress of working as a busy sales executive in the food industry while also parenting a toddler. When Stephanie moved to Louisiana in 2013 with her husband and son, she turned to yoga as a way to meet people in her new community. By getting on the mat regularly, she found yoga to be a great complement to her sports training but the benefits quickly became more than just physical. She was able to find a mind-body connection that brought a deep sense of happiness, calm and balance to her life. This passion inspired her to dive deeper into her yoga practice and obtain her 200hr RYT certification.
Stephanie brings a motivating positive energy and a sense of encouragement to her classes, empowering her students to find challenge, connection and joy on and off the yoga mat.
