Iyengar Yoga for the Eyes and Ears with Stephanie Quirk on Saturday, March 1st 2025 4-7PM PT

$70.00

The eyes and ears are refined, sensitive, delicate and highly specialized organs. They seek and join with their perceived objects. But at times their state can interfere with that marriage.

BKS Iyengar referred to the eyes and ears as windows to the mind. The eyes allow light in while the ears bathe in the vibrations of the world.

In this workshop, we will look at conditions that obstruct the functioning of our eyes and ears and what we need to pay attention to in our practice to aid the return of their clear, unobstructed state.

Teachers and longterm practitioners, Erika Repassy and Lynn Holt will also share valuable insight into practicing with eye and ear conditions.

Bio

Stephanie Quirk is a world leader in the field of yoga therapeutics. She spent 20 years living, studying and working directly with the Iyengar family at the Ramanani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, India.
Her first visit to RIMYI was in 1991. She returned in 1994 and decided to immerse herself fully into study at the Institute.
Stephanie began yoga in Sydney, Australia with a background in art, a qualification in psychiatric nursing and a Buddhist dharma and meditation practice.
The longer she stayed and studied at the institute in Pune, the more Stephanie came to appreciate that the Iyengars were conveying much more in practice and teaching than external technique and instructions. Although she has extensive experience of Iyengar Yoga therapy from working in the medical classes in Pune, she regards yoga in terms of its integrative effect that brings balance, wholeness and equanimity.

In her teaching, Stephanie is able to guide the student into the ‘self-involvement’ required for the journey towards inner knowledge and connectedness with all layers of ourselves.
