Stephanie is a former 16 year ballerina and recreational triathlete who has always understood the demands of training, and the importance of body maintenance and mobility. She began teaching yoga full time in 2012 at YogaFlow SF and Planet Granite in San Francisco, CA. During that time, she also created Endure Yoga, a movement method for recovery and athletic resilience. With a focus on athletes and her own fitness journey, she found CrossFit in 2015, and began coaching at CrossFit Marin.

After moving back to her hometown of San Diego, she began working with private clients and as a gymnastics coach at SD United, both as a coach for the recreational athletes and the gymnastics team.
