   Stephanie Quirk - Yoga therapy is not a medical prescriptive model

   Stephanie Quirk is a globally renowned Iyengar Yoga teacher from Australia and New Zealand. She lived in Pune for over 20 years, studying at RIMYI and working closely with the Iyengar family, assisting Guruji and Geetaji in the medical classes. Drawing on her background in psychiatric nursing and the arts, she brings technical precision and a deeply human approach to her teaching. In this conversation, Stephanie shares why Yoga therapy goes beyond a medical prescriptive model, what it takes for a teacher to truly see and connect with a student, and why doubt can be harmful on the path to healing.____Stephanie QuirkWebsite https://www.stephaniequirk.com.au/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/stephanie.q.yoga/
