Ashtanga Nola is dedicated to teaching 8-limbed yoga in a compassionate way that best serves the individual.

Stacey Zimet was a direct student of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. She is an authorized Level 2* instructor who has had a daily ashtanga practice for 20 years. In 2004 she began with the first of nine extended trips to Mysore, India, and received Pattabhi Jois' blessing to teach in 2007. In 2010 R. Sharath granted her permission to teach full Intermediate series, a privilege awarded to a small number of authorized teachers.  She has had the honor of assisting Sharath and Saraswathi in the shala in Mysore, an invaluable direct experience and priceless learning opportunity. Stacey has been fortunate to be able to spend long periods of time as a student, both in Mysore and with her mentor, Cathy Louise Broda, in Honolulu, Hawaii. From 2009-2012 Stacey was the resident instructor at Jois Yoga in Islamorada, Florida. After several years teaching internationally, she founded Ashtanga Yoga Oakland in 2014 and Golden Gate Ashtanga in 2015.  She has a degree in psychology and strives to transmit the method thoughtfully and compassionately as it has been shown to her. She is currently learning the advanced series under the guidance of Sharath and Cathy Louise. With deep gratitude she thanks all her teachers, past and present.
