About me
Stephan is a native Upper West Sider, an educator, yoga teacher (E-RYT500) and integrative therapist who uses yoga, Reiki, aromatherapy, nutritional and contemplative counseling, and Thai Bodywork with his clients. He has spent decades working with diverse populations: from the homeless and incarcerated to the economically secure, from children to seniors. Whether a person is in a hospital bed with highly limited mobility, in hospice, or fully ambulatory, brimming with strength and vitality, he loves working with people who, at the very least, are open to learn. He relishes the moment of inquiry that births new action and change. He is grateful to have studied with (and continues to study with) an amazing grouping of teachers, including Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman Yee, Richard Freeman, Mary Taylor, Richard Rosen, Joan Halifax, Koshin Paley Ellison, Robert Chodo Cambell, Alan Finger, Charles Matkin, Jason Ray Brown, Jenny Aurthur, Chrissy Carter, Jodie Rufty, Rod Stryker, Mark Whitwell, and Ramanand Patel. Apart from yoga, he holds an MA in Counseling and Guidance from NYU and a BS from Ithaca College.
