gyrotonic® + gyrokinesis® trainer
alexander technique teacher

Stephanie was first introduced to the Alexander Technique more than 30 years ago. She became a certified teacher in 2008, after completing a 3-year full-time training program at the Manhattan Center for the Alexander Technique. During this time, she began her journey with GYROTONIC®/GYROKINESIS® (2006/2009). After completing numerous foundations in this work, she continued her studies of movement with training in the GT/GK specialized courses and equipment. She is also certified in Kundalini Yoga and Hatha Yoga.  

Stephanie is a nomad at heart, finding wonder in all kinds of environments, from urban to rural and everything in between. Tucson’s urban and natural environments, and the remarkable healing community here, are what drew Stephanie to make Tucson her permanent home.
The ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE is recognized as one of the most effective ways to change negative habitual patterns of movement, posture, and function. It is a technique that teaches us to use our bodies with greater awareness (through the mind) and gentle, hands-on guidance, connecting us to our bodies' natural intelligence. Over time, we learn how to inhibit or 'Not Do' habitual patterns of unconscious movement that have been causing dysfunction to manifest as pain in our bodies. This unique process of self-management, where we can simply and effectively modify our very own muscular responses to stress, pain, and discomfort and actually carry out better use of ourselves at will, begins in the mind but shows up as greater consciousness in the body's daily movement.
