Private Yoga Therapy Consultations

Bookings - Please email Stephanie at stephanie.q.yoga@gmail.com.au including details of the injury and / or the illness you are seeking advice for. Stephanie will then make contact to agree a suitable date / time for the consultation.

Cost - $130 for a 1 hour private consultation. Payment will be made by Bank transfer and Stephanie will provide details once a suitable time has been agreed.

Consultation Recording - Stephanie will provide you with access to the recording of the consultation for an agreed period of time, so you can re-visit the discussion if needed.

Yoga Therapy Education

Periodically throughout the year Stephanie will offer Yoga Therapy education in various locations internationally. The Yoga Therapy education is titled “Seeing & Understanding from the Base”. This seven part course mirrors Guruji’s learning schema of beginning from the see-able observable outer form, through to the more subtle aspects of the mind and senses of perception.

This training is invaluable for teachers and trainee teachers to help them understand how to work with students with common issues and for experienced practitioners looking to deepen their practice and understanding of yoga.

The study begins at the already established base of the students own practice. Stephanie will then introduce participants to adaptions, modifications, and props that with assist participants with their own practice and for teachers / trainees assist students who attend their classes with commonly occurring problems and conditions.

1 or 2 parts will be scheduled each year until the 7 parts have been completed. Part 1 was held in August 2023 and Part 2 is scheduled the 2nd to the 5th of March 2024. Each part is scheduled over 4 days. A possible structure of a 4 day workshop is as follows:

  • All Days: 10am - 1pm (3 hours) then 3pm - 5.30pm (2 1/2 hours).

Please see a short video below (13 minutes) where Stephanie shares with us the structure of the Yoga Therapy Training.
