Yoga Project School of Yoga

Yoga and mindfulness educator, Stacy Dockins, has dedicated over 25 years of her life to studying the human body and teaching yoga. Her immense understanding of the science and practice of yoga is supported by her Bachelor’s of Science and certifications in 500 Hour E-RYT, Corrective Exercise Specialist (NASM-CES), and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP). She is currently pursuing her Mater's of Science with dual concentrations in Orthopedic Rehabilitation and Exercise Psychology at A. T. Still University. Stacy recently developed her first book, Embodied Posture, which empowers readers to align yoga postures to best suit one’s bio-individuality. This innovative perspective combines body awareness, science, and exploration, lending practical tools and information that can be immediately applied to the mat. In addition, Stacy and her husband Dave own three leading yoga studios in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, called Yoga Project studioswhere she creates and directs yoga teacher training courses for 200 and 500 Hour RYT programs. Through EdX.org, she co-taught the online course, “The Science and Practice of Yoga,” which had over 19,000 participants from around the globe thus far. Stacy has contributed to outlets such as Authority Magazine, Well+Good, HealthiNation, and I AM & CO. Stacy enjoys mentoring teachers and teaching her own weekly yoga and meditation classes at the Yoga Project studios, which she co-owns with her husband, Dave. Together they train teachers and lead wellness retreats in Texas, Thailand, Bali, and Costa Rica. A few of her other interests include cycling, plants, nature, and books. When they aren’t out exploring backroads on their bikes, Stacy and Dave might be at home cooking, reading, or practicing together. They have three grown children. Along with Dave, Jake, Kera, Luke, and the family dog, Buster, are the main loves of Stacy’s life.

Dave worked in the food industry for over 15 years and then stepped away from it all in 2010 to focus all his energy on the Yoga Project. Dave has been teaching yoga since 2005. He loves traveling, exploration and spending time with Stacy and their kids Jake, Kera, and Luke. Dave also holds a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M University - class '94.
