Stephanie Battle
Stephanie Battle
My name is Stephanie. I have been a mover all of my life. With a background in dance, music and theater, self-expression has always been integral to my spiritual development. I began practicing yoga in 2001 as a way to prepare my body, mind and spirit for the rigors of the Broadway stage.
I received my 200 Hr certification in 2010 from Yoga to the People and deepened my knowledge with an advanced certification from Sonic Yoga in 2016. I hold specialized certifications in meditation, restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra, all received under the guidance of Alan Finger and Mona Anand of Ishta Yoga.
My classes are rooted in the Vinyasa style with an emphasis on breath awareness, alignment and self expression. After teaching yoga asana, meditation, pranayama and philosophy for over 10 years, my greatest joy as a teacher is being witness to a students’ transformation–when physical alignment gives way to grace and presence…and when doing gives way to being.
I’m so excited to join the wonderful team of practitioners at HealHaus!

Yasmene Mumby
Yasmene Mumby
Dr. Yasmene Mumby began her yoga and meditation practice eleven years ago while teaching middle school Social Studies in Baltimore City Public Schools. She was looking for a natural way to calm her rushing anxiety and restore her energy.
Yoga and meditation brought forward incredible healing for her. Both practices supported Yasmene through two benign tumor surgeries, an eye stroke that impaired her left eye’s vision, and letting go of 17 pounds of extra weight. She did not know that it would take the permanent distortion of her vision and body for her to ultimately see life and value the wellness of it differently.
Yasmene continues to prioritize her wellbeing practice and meticulously refines her teaching craft. So far, she’s completed over 1000 hours of training in vinyasa, meditation, yin, and prenatal yoga. Several organizations invite her to lead group wellness workshops focused on equitable access for all people.
Off the mat, Yasmene writes and creates audio-documentaries about inequity, culture, and wellbeing. She wrote the resonant 5089-word essay Amplify Black Voices: Yoga, you can do better. She created the NPR-hosted Higher Purpose about an organization that supports people with legal system records to gain livable wage employment in Baltimore. Her latest sound art piece is Ahimsa, an audio-memoir on yoga, wellness, and Black Lives in 2020. Creative Capital featured her upcoming audio project Daughters of the Yam and the Mothers they Become as one of the noteworthy projects On Our Radar in 2021. Her organizing and teaching background continue to shape her journey as a writer unafraid of sharing stories that want to be told.
A graduate of the McDonogh School, Yasmene earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Johns Hopkins University and its School of Education, along with a Juris Doctor from University of Maryland School of Law and a Doctorate in Education Leadership from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
