Yoga for Busy Organizers
with Stacy Berger
This issue, we’re so lucky to have Stacy
Berger lead a quick yoga routine designed
specifically for your busy schedules.
Stacy began organizing for the John Kerry
presidential campaign in 2004 as a field
organizer in Columbia, Missouri. There she
met her future husband, Marlon Marshall.
After finishing that campaign as a Get Out
The Vote lead organizer in Wisconsin, she
continued to work in progressive politics.
Stacy served as a regional field director for
Hillary for President in Las Vegas, Nevada
in 2007, as the deputy national training
director for Obama for America in 2011,
and as the GOTV director for the Obama
campaign in Nevada in 2012. She also
has a ton of experience leading young
democrats and college democrats, and
executing organizing efforts for non-profit
organizations like Planned Parenthood.
Through all of this work, and many other
roles, Stacy has been able to lead a healthy
lifestyle. A certified yoga instructor,
she knows the importance of taking
care of yourself while organizing.
Throughout her grueling work on many
campaigns, Stacy has looked to yoga
to relieve stress and to increase her
ability to stay focused on her work.
I’m so excited she created this yoga practice
for you. Earlier in this issue, Stacy’s husband
Marlon said, “The biggest thing that keeps
me [making time for my health] now is I
have a wife who lets me know I need to get
my butt in the gym.” She is always such a
great influence for everyone around her.
This yoga practice was just what I needed
after a stressful day. Make some time right
now in your calendar for yoga with Stacy
– I know you’ll be thankful after.
