 It took only one Bikram class for Stella to realize that she had found a new direction for her life. Right away, this sequence made an impression on every part of her body. It felt like the most thrilling and inspiring experience that someone could come across. That very evening, Stella went online to see what teacher training options were available. Undeterred by the requirements, time commitments, and financial investment, Stella was determined to become a teacher. This began her frequent and regular practice.
Stella grew up in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. She spent many of her formative years traveling near and far. She has been a vegetarian for years and a raw foodist for
over two years. After graduating from Parsons School of Design in 2007, she dedicated herself more fully to the practice of Hatha Yoga in New York City. Stella became certified to teach Bikram Yoga after completing the teacher training in Palm Desert, CA in June of 2009. Unexpectedly and gratefully, she discovered a beautiful, dedicated community of Bikram yogis at BYPV and now considers the studio her home and her extended family.
Stella has a way of creating a relaxed and peaceful environment. In a class led by Stella, you will immediately notice her love for the yoga and her students. Stella's calm, yet commanding, instruction allows you to focus and reach new depth in the postures. Leaving her class, you will feel calm and centered.
