CLASSES
Karin Stephan's yoga classes are based on her studies with B.K.S. Iyengar, Geeta Iyengar, Dona Holleman and senior teachers of the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga system. Karin's classes are small in size. This allows her to teach each student through direct observation.
Karin focuses primarily on refinement in the asanas related to alignment, balance and working from within. Paying attention to small details alters how the entire body moves.
Students are encouraged to study their own movements without having a preconception of the pose. The teaching develops a sense of stillness in the work as well as a relaxation of the mind and will. Karin bases her work on intuition, observation, an aesthetic sensibility, metaphor and thirty years of teaching experience.
ANNE CURTIS
Anne Curtis studied classical ballet and modern dance for 14 years in Berkeley, California where she grew up. After her undergraduate studies, Anne earned a PH.D. in biology at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1996 Anne started studying Yoga and slowly began to devote herself to Yoga as a way of life after sustaining an upper back injury from lifting both her newborn and toddler. In 2003 Anne did her Iyengar based teacher training in Palo Alto, California with Larry Hatlett.
Anne currently lives in Belmont, Massachusetts and is continuing her Yoga studies with Karin Stephan and Liz Owen. She recently completed one of Karin's Advanced Studies Courses in The Art of Yoga Therapeutics and Healing and now teaches both in Winchester and at The Loft. Anne is passionate about the healing powers of Yoga and loves helping other people discover this for themselves. Her focus is on creating a warm, student-centered and relaxing environment where everyone feels safe to explore the physical and emotional benefits of Yoga.
