Move with Stephania: reading the body

A space for practice, study, and curiosity.

Yoga, anatomy, and biomechanics come together here to explore asana beyond the shape, to understand why we move the way we do, what we are trying to create through movement, and how the practice can respect and adapt to the individuality of each body.

A place to question, explore, and deepen the way we understand movement and practice.
