Stanley Prescott | he/him

Howdy, I'm Stan!
Stanley (he/him) earned his B.Sc. in Biology from UBC Vancouver, where he embraced his inner nerd and became captivated by the intricacies of cells. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, he delved into the fascinating worlds of protistology, immunology, neuroscience, psychology, anatomy, and physiology, developing an evolutionary framework that complemented his studies. During this time, he also cultivated a psychoneuroimmunological perspective, exploring the intersections of movement, mindfulness, and yoga practice. Currently, Stanley is pursuing his Masters of Counselling at Gonzaga University, further expanding his expertise. Wholeheartedly, Stanley believes look through a kaleidoscope of perspectives that inform our sense of knowing, and he hopes to add more lenses through compassionate listening and dialogue.
Stanley has always found solace and inspiration in the great outdoors and movement practices. After retiring from competitive Highland Dance due to an injury, he discovered yoga, which empowered him to feel whole and grounded during a challenging chapter of his life. Deepening his practice, Stanley completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training program with Naked Truth Yoga School, a program developed by dancers that resonated deeply with him. Seeking to cultivate a heart-centered practice, decolonize his approach, and enhance the accessibility of his teachings, he eagerly enrolled in the 300-Hour Advanced Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology Teacher Training program at Canmore Counselling Yoga Psychology School, an experience for which he is immensely grateful. In his movement philosophy, Stanley finds inspiration in the Japanese proverb of Wabi Sabi, appreciating the beauty of storied perfection through imperfections.
As a lifelong learner, Stanley is passionate about blending his academic background with trauma-informed and accessible movement practices. When he's not in the studio, you can often find him hiking, paddleboarding, reading, or enjoying board games. Stanley also considers himself a coffee connoisseur and an oat milk fanboy. A polarizing fun fact about him is that he enjoys eating kiwis like apples.
