Felicia (Fae) Dz Stovall, M.A., E-RYT 200

Yoga has played a key role in Fae becoming more mindful, aware and grounded. Yoga is freedom, tranquility and release; it’s her desire to help others discover their power poses/practice and move freely through life, grounded and mindful.

As a retired WFTDA (Woman’s Flat Track Derby Association) Roller Derby skater, she had an extensive background in fitness and conditioning, and thought yoga would be an easy, smart addition to her training. She admits it was smart, but not easy; she has found a joy and an inner peace with yoga the track could not provide. 

As a roller derby skater Fae, was known as Willa Shankspear, the hard-hitting blocker and the bulldozing jammer.  In yoga, Fae is powerful, cheeky and embraces authenticity.  Her goal is to create a compassionate, non-judgmental atmosphere where her students can thrive.

In 2017 Fae completed her 200 hour Yoga teacher training with Youga Yoga, and she earned her RYT 300 training in Oct of 2018. Fae also has completed her Buti Yoga teacher training and earned her E-RYT-200 certification in 2023 with over 1000 teaching hours.  Fae loves being a perpetual student of yoga and welcomes the wisdom of other yoga teachers to continue to craft her teaching skills and private practice.  She is the founder of Namaste Fitness where people of all ages, shapes and sizes can receive the many proven benefits of yoga and personal training .
