Hello! I'm Stefanie.

I'm a registered social worker, psychotherapist, yoga instructor and creative. The foundation of my work is to support and guide individuals to access their inner wisdom, develop connection between themselves and the world, and find a life with more ease and clarity.

My yoga classes can be described as 'slow flow' vinyasa, prioritizing moving with intention and intuition. My work as a therapist, movement instructor, and circle facilitator support an integrated approach to well-being.

Retreat Specialties

My retreats are co-created spaces that are centered on community. I've partnered with hospitals, schools. and non-profit organizations to deliver workshops around a variety of topics including: Introduction to Mindfulness, Employee Resilience and Team building. I'm always open to new collaborations, especially in elevating the voices and experiences of BIPOC folx. Please reach out! www.stefanieannerico.com

Teaching Specialties

Students can expect a trauma-informed approach that honours each individual experience. I like to weave in topics from my background in psychology and mental health to tie in our practice.

What are your favorite Retreat Venues around the world

Float Valley in Canada (https://floatvalley.com/) - this gorgeous wellness centre offers floatation therapy, infrared sauna, yoga classes and special offerings. I love how I can start off with a yoga class, melt my tension away in the sauna (complete with a screen to watch Netflix or stream Spotify!!) and then float off into bliss in the float tank. Facilitating workshops here have also been a blast and easy to coordinate with staff.

What's your personal definition of what it means to thrive?

To "thrive" reminds me of one of my favourite Oprah quotes: "We're all looking for the highest, fullest expression of ourselves as a human being."
