I'm Stephany Hancock.

I'm Stephany Hancock.

A passionate & bold Carolina gal obsessed with all things yoga + planning who turned a dream into a business. Now, I'm taking my love for mindfulness and helping you find it too.

You asked for it. Here’s more about me & Rise and Flow…

Rise and Flow (R&F) started out as a yoga studio in November 2018 with a clear vision to make a difference in the health and wellness of my community.

R&F embraces people of all backgrounds and experiences to practice yoga in an environment that is welcoming, inclusive, affirming and supportive. Through peace, harmony and diversity R&F reaches all and teaches many. I continue to challenge the yoga industry by fighting mental health stigmas and bringing yoga to new and experienced bodies AND by incorporating it into a lifestyle.

After 2022 I began redefining what it means to practice yoga. Now, my goal is to create and connect couples and individuals to yoga through virtual coaching and event planning. My love for lists, planning, events and bridging the gap for those lacking structure makes me tick. Now, it is my time to take my strengths and interlace them into a business doing ALL the things that I love.

I have over 8 years of experience and can't wait to make the wishes and dreams of local couples and individuals come true...AND do it mindfully too! That's the greatest gift.

A few of the names I answer to...

“Honey” Sometimes, Honey, and other times babe, but never by my name (that's just weird lol). We share a joyful life together.

“Stephy” Only my "bonus daughter" calls me this. When she was younger, she spelled it with an "f" but we have grown since then.

“Daughter” I have the BEST parents a girl could ever ask for.

“Sis” A term that I don’t wear lightly. Ready to be there at the drop of a dime.

“Girrrl” I emphasize positive self-talk and refer to myself as girl when I'm ready to level up.

“Fur Mama” Camille is my roll dog for Chick-Fil-A fry runs, Starbuck pup cup days and the daily cuddles and Netflix on the couch.
