The Auspicious Light of Accessible Yoga, SF Yoga Magazine March 2018
"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.
Stacie was stricken with Lyme’s Disease while in college and creatively adapted her practice with the support of a chair. Looking back now, I am deeply grateful for the auspicious blessing to have met her before I experienced my crippling injury and illness. When I met her at the AYC, I was still under the spell of my own delusions about what yoga means and what my role might be in it. Yoga is not just exercise. It’s not the expensive tights, eternal optimism that feels fake in your gut, guru worship, how much sweat we can generate in a power class, what incredible arm balance we can show off in an instagram capture or how witty we seem pasting in a google quote that’s maybe from Rumi. If it sounds like I’ve done that, well, maybe once or twice. . . 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

From the CBS news interview: "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."
