Raising the Light Vibe ~ connection > contention

It's a pretty icky time these days, with a lot of aggression and arguments. In this time, Stephanie strongly believes it's important not to ignore reality, even when reality is uncomfortable.

Facing challenges can be done in the full light of community, playfulness, and surrender. In that spirit, Stephanie holds a practice space dedicated to connecting and supporting the highest good to all beings, regardless of beliefs or affiliation.

This space is based on lovingkindness meditation. Meaning that there are moments to savor comfort, but others in which to address restrictive attitudes and beliefs. This is not about changing anyone's beliefs—this is about honoring differences more lovingly.

The workshop incorporates asana, pranayama, visualization, and chanting. All bodies are welcome, thought it's best to have 6+ months of asana experience. The practice is very deep, and though some modifications will be explained, it's useful if participants can modify on their own.

The Art & Practice of Adjusting

Just as asana is its own practice, teaching is its own practice. And just as teaching is its own art, there is an equal art to adjusting. This workshop focuses on the wide spectrum of adjustments, from tiny nudges to more intense pressure, with or without props.

Stephanie emphasizes the importance of adjusting skillfully, which keeps everyone safe. As a teacher who's smaller than most her students, Stephanie has honed the ability over the years to offer effective adjustments without overtaxing her own body. One of the greatest adjustment skills to develop is using your own leverage, rather than relying only on strength. She also explains how understanding adjustments can refine your own asana practice, even when you're not being adjusted!

This workshop is an excellent resource for any asana practitioner, regardless of teaching experience. Certainly, the application of the knowledge of most relevant to teachers. However, learning about asana from the adjustment perspective is beneficial to anyone's practice. Recommended for anyone with 6+ months of asana experience.

Numinous Moxie

Numinous Moxie is a sacred space to learn the framework and techniques that Stephanie uses to do her self-work, as well as create and develop all the other work she does. This is a monthly, membership-style offering that follows the moon cycle. There are group rituals, individual sessions with Stephanie, and a private online group.

By the end of the moon cycle, you are not who you were weeks before. You expand. You shift. You triumph. You face challenges and reassess. You truly understand how to trust your struggles.

This is the work you choose. This is about leadership, in however it manifests in your life.. This is about authenticity. This is about moving energy is ways both giant and subtle.

The maximum size for any moon cycle is 12 people; you can join and end at any time. The suggested duration is 3 months consecutively, with the option to continue or rejoin at a later time.

This container is interdisciplinary. There will be structure in some consistent practices and rituals, combined with your independent work of your own choosing. The purpose of that combination is so that you create practices that are truly yours, that integrate powerfully into your life, for the long term. This mix of accountability and community is ideal for leveling up and showing up in the most powerful way. Your task is to personalize the framework and practices; you are not going to follow a Stephanie flow chart.

Following her flow chart is a guaranteed fail for anyone but Stephanie. But integrating these practices and techniques is a guaranteed success, because none of them originate from her. This wisdom is not limited to her experience. She knows they work, when you find ways to resonate with them. Integration is essential; practice is requisite.

Stephanie’s expertise is in helping practices be accessible and sustainable for you. Not just to learn, but to sustain and adjust accordingly as your life changes. (See top of page for the list of practices which she uses consistently.) If you want to move more deeply into this kind of work, or have not been able to gain meaningful traction so far, Stephanie is an expert at personalizing the subtleties so that things get sticky (in a good way). Your task is to practice, which inevitably generates questions, creates its own breakthroughs and challenges. Stephanie can’t guide a ship that stays in port, but she can help you move through the waves and connect more deeply.
