Since 1997, Stephanie has sustained a daily rhythm of spiritual practice dedicated to greater awareness in the midst of a human life, through the lens of Buddhist and Yogic practices and studies.
Her endeavor to teach arose after years of immersion in Kriya Yoga of Chicago, where she was certified, then later ordained as Swami Vasudevyananda.
Stephanie enriched her yoga practice and teaching by immersing herself in yoga intensives with her teachers Kim Swartz, Goswami Kriyananda, Jess Tomas, her beloved Tantric Advaita teacher Peter Marchand, and Rupert Spira, as well as Tias Little, and David Garrigues.
30 years of beginning her day offering incense, bowing in recognition of the immensity of things, breathing in yoga to then taking a seat with tea and stillness of sitting meditation keeps her well, sane and happy. This wakeful quality of living nourishes her vow to serve all beings.
In the wake of experience, she shares the beauty, wisdom and compassion revealed in tapping the subtle aspect of being, through teaching others Meditative Awareness thru the Spiritual Methods of Yoga and Tea.
Stephanie’s practice interweaves with that of her students to cultivate a spiritual friendship in the common wish to deepen awareness and simply feel safe and happy in the midst of every mind moment.
