My name is Stephanie Chee Barea and I am a feminine leadership coach, yogini & nature guide with over 24 years of experience teaching embodied healing practices and guiding others on the path of self-realization.
I created Mantra school as a home for us to connect around this transformational and healing practice of working with sacred sound. The mantras we chant express the language of Nature as a sacred stream of timeless wisdom that emerged from the Himalayan Mountains thousands of years ago.
A sacred keeper of the living wisdom tradition of the Himalayan Sages, Steph is dedicated to cultivating and protecting the sacred fire of life, creating and illuminating brave space for spiritual awakening, healing & personal growth.
With over 24 years of experience teaching embodied healing practices and creating brave spaces for belonging, she is a practitioner and educator of the science and philosophy of Tantric Hatha Yoga and an initiate of the Sri Vidya Tradition – a 5,000 year-old living wisdom tradition of the Himalayan Sages. As a lifelong learner, she continues to study and stay close to her teachers Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Jean Mazzei, and Sherri Mitchell Weh'na Ha'mu Kwasset.
Her first mantra album, Igniting Protection, was published in 2019, and has also been featured on Thrive Global, Omnes.live, Down East Magazine and The Rangeley Highlander.
Her 1000+ hours of formal training certifications include EYRT-5oo, YCEP, Prenatal Vinyasa, Yoga For Teens, Yoga Sutras and Vishoka Meditation.
Steph lives in the SF Bay Area with her husband, two children and two cats.
