About Stephanie Quirk — Senior Iyengar Teacher

We are honoured to welcome Stephanie Quirk, a world-renowned senior Iyengar yoga teacher, to guide this special online prāāyāma course. Stephanie’s work in yoga spans decades of dedicated study, practice and teaching. She spent more than 20 years living, studying and working closely with the Iyengar family at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, India, where she immersed herself deeply in the method and assisted in therapeutic and advanced classes.

Stephanie is recognised internationally as a leader in the field of Yoga Therapeutics, bringing both technical insight and lived experience to her work. Her teaching always reflects the core Iyengar emphasis on careful observation, structural understanding, and a holistic approach that honours how body, breath, mind, and perception interact.

She regularly teaches online prāāyāma classes and workshops that explore breath practice in accessible ways for practitioners at various levels. Her offerings include both introductory and more advanced investigations into how the breath functions, how it may be influenced by support and alignment, and how, in turn, it shapes mental states — a truly integrative view of yoga learning.

Through her online teachings and her library of recorded classes, Stephanie supports students and teachers alike in developing a clear, grounded, and experiential relationship with the breath, in line with the precision and depth characteristic of the Iyengar tradition.

Online Teaching & Accessible Practice

Stephanie’s online classes have made her teaching accessible to a global community. These sessions often include sequences that help students become familiar with the various forms the breath can take, how breath relates to subtle body sensations, and how mental states influence breathing — all woven together in practice.

Her online prāāyāma offerings are known for being:

  • Thoughtfully structured — inviting exploration without rushing,
  • Adaptable — suitable for a range of experience levels,
  • Rooted in therapeutic awareness — considering how breath work can support overall well-being.

This upcoming mini-course offers a rare opportunity to attend a focused series that brings Stephanie’s seasoned perspective to the Yoga Readers community worldwide.
