Stephanie Otteni

I grew up in Newport News, VA, and graduated from the University of Virginia with majors in studio art and art history.  A stint in Charleston, SC, kept this beachcomber happy and allowed me to obtain my MBA from The Citadel and have our first two children while my husband completed his medical residency. We moved to Staunton in 2003, had one more boy, and have enjoyed playing in the mountains ever since we arrived.

I’ve been practicing yoga for the last 15 years and in July 2020 completed my RYT 200 with Shri Hamilton-Hubbard.  I continue to work and study at Satchidananda Ashram – Yogaville, earning a RYT 500 in 2024, with certifications in Intermediate Teacher Training, Adaptive Yoga, and Meditation.

I am excited to teach, learn, share, and explore yoga with you. I also enjoy skiing and biking, gardening, and spending time with my grown-up boys and my husband.
