CNN 2024: Chair yoga is not just for older people. It’s good for everyone, especially the desk-bound”
CBS Miami News 2011 "Stacie Dooreck is a yoga Instructor that is breathing new life into South Florida seniors. She owns SunLight Yoga in South Florida. 'If you are in a chair and your hips hurt or your knees hurt, you can do the arm movement in a yoga pose,' said Stacie Dooreck. The point is to keep the muscles active, but how does that happen sitting down? 'Sitting in a chair, you get a similar effect for the flow of energy and circulation,' Dooreck said to CBS4’s Jorge Estevez at the Miami Beach Senior Center, where the seniors were learning Yoga."

"The AYC is growing all around the world and there are many gifted yoga teachers that I like to affectionately call “Jivana’s Angels." One such angel is Stacie Doorek, author of Chair Yoga, and a new book recently released, Yoga for Everyone...Yoga is more than these distractions. Stacie knows this and is devoted to Ahimsa, non violence, in an authentically strong yet humble voice. Like all of Jivana’s Angels, she has a way of showing a clear path through the pain of delusion with compassion and practical healing tools." -SF Yoga Magazine Click to read full article
