Hi! I'm Dr. Stephanie, a Physical Therapist, Yoga Teacher but more importantly...

...a person who lives with low back pain.  

Many years ago, I discovered yoga as the way to relieve much of my pain AND also the suffering that I was experiencing. 

As a college professor and researcher, I designed a series of classes for people with low back pain based on my experience.  Since teaching those first classes over 12 years ago, research has been published to support Yoga for Low Back Pain.  I constantly update my program based on this research.

Now I want more people with low back pain to experience the same relief of pain and suffering.

As a wellness professional you have the knowledge and skills to help the nearly 3 out of every 4 adults who experience low back pain.  You can meet people where they are, outside of our "sick-care" system, to offer accessible and affordable classes.  While building a community of healing, you will also find satisfaction by providing a service that people need and see the outcomes that you and your clients expect.

I developed this training to give you confidence in your yoga offerings so you can help more people relieve the many layers of low back pain.
