Our story.
Yoga Unlimited launched in 2017 with a 200 hour yoga teacher training program, followed by a 300 hour yoga teacher training program. The founder, Stacy Smith, has been teaching yoga for over 40 years, she is an ERYT500, YAEP with Yoga Alliance. She has over 1500 yoga training hours and over 15,000 teaching hours recorded since joining Yoga Alliance in 2007. She has studied many styles of yoga; vinyasa yoga, ashtanga yoga, power fusion yoga, restorative yin yoga, gentle yoga, prenatal-poostpartum yoga, children’s yoga, kundalini yoga, yoga sculpt, yoga-pilates fusion, laughter yoga, and opened her first studio at the age of 21 years old and brings over 4 decades of teaching experience. Her knowledge of yoga and her interest in developing and growing teachers is a passion, so the yoga teacher trainees can learn and share their love of yoga to as many people as possible.
In February of 2023, Yoga Unlimited and Stacy Smith found a studio home at 8809 E Oak Island Drive on the second floor of Island Healing Chiropractic and Wellness Center, on OKI. Dr Karen Fairfiled approached Stacy with the task of teaching 8-10 men who played tennis and wanted to work on flexibility, balance and core strength. She took on the challenge and next thing she was approached by pickleball players and golfers. That one yoga class grew into 4 yoga classes just for men and then led to daily yoga classes for anyone in many styles of yoga. Since then the studio has grown with more yoga classes and the school has graduated teachers that now teach yoga classes and workshops at the studio.
We enjoy growing and serving the Oak Island, Southport and surrounding communities and know all of our participants want to stay active. It is our calling to bring yoga to everybody and have a yoga community that feels welcomed and belongs!

A great place for yoga novices (like me) to get started. The instructors do an excellent job helping new yoga students by providing "reasonable" poses that we can actually follow and do...while the advanced students turn into human pretzels!!A really great studio for new and experienced yoga. So much fun! Highly recommended!! -Terry
I’ve being doing a variety of yoga classes for 3 weeks! I love this studio and the teachers are amazing! I feel stronger each time! So nice to walk outside knowing I had a great work out! -Trina
So glad I found this studio on OKI. I’ve been wanting to get back to my practice for a while and this has been a great studio to do that. Great teachers and environment, thank you!-Betsy
I visited Yoga Unlimited while on vacation and enjoyed a wonderful Yoga Sculpt class. Stacy was so welcoming and instructed an invigorating work out. I’d highly recommend checking out the studio while on vacation! -Emily
What a special event! We celebrated a friend turning 50 this weekend and part of that was a special private session with Stacy on the beach! We were all completely relaxed and rejuvenated while enjoying this hour long session! Highly recommend Stacy if you are in the Southport/Oak Island area and you want a special yoga experience!

! take the Yoga for Men class. I have to admit I was skeptical at first, but this is a great class for keeping yourself stretched to reduce injury from sports and improve balance. Stacy provides a welcoming and fun environment with no pressure and a lot of laughs. I highly recommend anyone to drop by on Oak Island and give it a try. -Stephen
I started doing yoga about 6 months ago. I'm 58 and have worked my entire career mostly at a desk. It's done amazing things for my body and how I feel! Stacy is the "real deal"...just come to a few classes and you'll realize that right away. -Doug
I have been taking classes virtually with Stacy since the pandemic. She is an excellent teacher and gears her classes to all levels of ability. I love being able to take her classes from the comfort of my own home. -Darla
I've been practicing with Stacy for over four years now, virtually and in person and I couldn't imagine life without her! Her yoga classes are fantastic, always something new and always so much more than just the poses. When she says "for everybody," she means it. There are always options offered, whether you need a restorative practice or a challenge. I find what she teaches carries over into my everyday life, and I'm a better person for it. -Jen
Stacy is an amazing leader at Yoga Unlimited. I started out with the beginner class, moved to the men's class and found Stacy to be very patient and supportive. I can already feel my balance improving and core strength. She clearly communicated throughout the entire session guiding us through the various moves. I have also tried the Yoga Sculpt and the Yoga Palates and I am now a regular monthly member.Stacy has all the items you need during the class and also provides a hot or cold cloth at the end of class...nice touch. Highly recommend. -Tim
