Staisha comes from an extensive movement background and years of experience working with people of all ages and physical capabilities in a therapeutic setting. Her empathetic nature, relatable style, sense of humor, and vast knowledge of the body lends itself to safe and effective movement practices in a nurturing environment. Staisha integrates her personal investigation and experiences through movement with her education in mindfulness practices, modern treatment modalities, trauma therapy, and various other somatically focused techniques, to help each individual reconnect with their body.

Staisha began practicing yoga at a very young age and completed her yoga teacher training in 2003 with Larry Schultz at “It’s Yoga” in San Francisco. Over the past several years, Staisha has taught yoga to a wide variety of audiences throughout South Florida, including trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness practices in treatment centers for those in recovery from addiction. In 2018 she completed a year-long, intensive, certification process to become a Neurogenic Yoga™ and TRE™ provider, revolutionary techniques that help to release the deep chronic tension created in the body during a traumatic experience.

Staisha spent a large part of the last 13 years working in the field of physical therapy while also woking towards earning her Bachelors of Science in Psychology degree from Oregon State University. She maintains an active physical therapist assistant license in both Florida and California. Prior to moving back to Florida and pursuing a career in physical therapy, Staisha earned her living as a professional ballet dancer with San Francisco Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, and Oregon Ballet Theatre.
