Stéphanie Quirk
Stephanie Quirk is an assistant at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in Pune, India. Born in New Zealand, she started practicing yoga in Sydney, Australia. In fact, she was on crutches for her first five years practice because of an injury to her right ankle. After her first visit to Pune in 1991, she decided to return there in 1994 for a longer stay. 15 years later she is still there!
In May 2001, 2002, and 2003, she accompanied Geeta Iyengar during her trips to the United States, Canada, Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In 2004 she taught at German, Dutch and Isralian conventions.
The more I study yoga, the more I understand my previous
training in the artistic field and pshychiatric practice. I understand
the importance of observing: each individual must be seen as a whole
and not as an amalgam of signs and symptoms or of right and wrong
techniques. The longer I stay at the Ramamani Iyengar Yoga Institute
in Pune, the more I understand that there is much more to yoga than
the practice of techniques and instructions.
In the preface to Light on Yoga Sutra by Patanjali, Guruji defines
yoga as an art, a science, and a philosophy which ultimately gives
meaning to our lives. Its this last point in my opinion which reinforces
the rest and recognizes the reality of our inner lives.
Grâce à une longue expérience en tant
qu'assistante dans les classes de yoga-thérapie à Pune,
j'ai acquis la conviction que, si une personne a la jambe cassée,
le coeur brisé ou l'esprit perturbé, le yoga dans son
intégralité la ramène vers l'équilibre,
en la rapprochant de son centre. La façon de travailler proposée
par le yoga Iyengar entraîne les personnes dans une voie qui
les engage à l'intérieur d'eux-mêmes pour leur
propre évolution. Cette implication est essentielle dans le
processus de connaissance et d'intégration des différents
niveaux de notre être.
