Meet Stephanie Briscoe | Yoga and Wellness

We had the good fortune of connecting with Stephanie Briscoe and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Stephanie, what do you want people to remember about you?
I aspire to leave a legacy that inspires and uplifts others, enriching their lives and enhancing their overall well-being. My hope is to create a lasting impact by encouraging individuals to embrace the transformative power of yoga and meditation. Through these mindful practices, I aim to instill a sense of balance, resilience, and awareness, guiding others on their journey towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. Ultimately, I wish to be remembered as someone who illuminated paths of serenity and strength, fostering a community where everyone can thrive, grow, and cultivate their inner peace.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Brisasana stands apart with its unique name that blends “breeze” with “asana,” which means seated pose. While many find it challenging to sit with their thoughts. I then decided to put partially my last name and asana together. In return came out as Brisasana . Brisasana’s Yoga offers a disciplined practice aimed at helping individuals heal from unspoken traumas. Through holistic practices and the flowing movements of yoga, we strive to enhance the quality of life for our community.

The most important investment you can make is in yourself. At Brisasana’s Yoga, our brand and clothing line embody this philosophy by offering healing attire adorned with relatable affirmations that resonate with everyone. We believe in creating a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment where individuals can thrive and evolve into the best versions of themselves. Embrace the journey of self-improvement with Brisasana’s Yoga, where every piece of clothing is a step toward healing and empowerment.

I am excited and grateful for where I am today and truly blessed by the potential of Brisasana’s Yoga and the brand’s future. My journey has not been without its challenges, particularly as a person of color in a field where representation is limited. I faced financial setbacks and struggled to understand how to invest in my brand, often feeling unsure about where to start.

However, I emerged from those storms with newfound knowledge and resilience. I’ve learned about branding and the importance of patience while educating others about the beauty of yoga through the lens of an African American woman. My individuality is what sets me apart, and I am committed to showing that yoga is for everyone. I look forward to continuing this journey, uplifting others, and championing diversity in the practice.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My dad, who was a tremendous source of support and mentorship in my life. He always encouraged me to pursue my dreams fiercely and to never underestimate the importance of honing my craft. His belief in me has shaped who I am today, and I am committed to honoring his legacy by chasing my passions with the same fervor he instilled in me. Future more to give back to the community and be the voice of the unheard.

The love and support I received from my mom have been instrumental in my journey. She understood the significance of yoga and wellness in our lives and recognized how effective it could be for me, especially with my ADHD and dyslexia. Her belief in the power of yoga not only helped me find balance and perspective but also empowered me to embrace my challenges with resilience. I’m grateful for her guidance and the foundation she provided me in prioritizing my well-being.

I owe a heartfelt thank you to 305 Yoga for helping me achieve my yoga certification. Under the guidance of owner Terri Copper, along with my wonderful teachers Angela, Nulise, and Chantae, I was able to deepen my practice and gain the skills needed to teach. Their support, encouragement, and expertise not only enriched my journey but also inspired me to share the transformative power of yoga with others. I’m incredibly grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on my life. Also, my Guru Swami for listening and encouraging me to deepening my yoga and meditation to reach the lives of others so they may live harmoniously and themselves and be a blessing to others.

The book I read that always gave me guidance was The Four agreements and I am presently reading Breaking the Habits of Being Yourself.

The organization that has helped me tremendously is Miami Dade Commerce. Through the leadership of Eric Knowles. I have reached people who are interested in living a healthy lifestyle and enhance my role within the community.

Also, who deserves recognition is Dr. Ebony Dunn was has given me the opportunity to be part of Cope Center North School family. She has openness and compassion allowed me to work with the young ladies at the school through Yoga and mindfulness.
