About Your Transformation Challenge Coaches
Staci Belcher completed her yoga teacher training at the Kripalu School of Yoga in 2019. In honor of the lineage, Staci's classes emphasize self-exploration and self-compassion without judgement. Since becoming a teacher, Staci has bridged her academic training in nutrition science and knowledge of the human body with yoga, offering students a glimpse into the incredible power of their bodies to foster appreciation as they explore postures.
Here’s what Staci has to say about intuitive eating:
“Intuitive eating is a clearly defined framework which allows folks to consider their whole self when exploring food decisions. It is so much more than ‘Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full’ -- It honors your wants, your needs, your mental and your physical health.”
Lindsey Hammond is the studio owner and enthusiastic believer in the power of yoga to transform hearts and minds. Lindsey’s life’s work is to help people live their authentic purpose because she knows that when they do, it makes the whole world a better place. She can’t wait to help you dive into yoga and create the kind of steady, consistent practice that transforms lives.
