After herniating several discs in my lower back, I suffered years of chronic and debilitating back pain. While the doctors suggested surgery, I wanted to exhaust all other options before I made such a drastic decision. I saw orthopedic doctors, physiatrists, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and osteopaths, trying every noninvasive option available before a friend suggested that I try yoga. Following her advice, I decided to take private lessons with Stephanie to see if yoga could help. Stephanie was knowledgeable, patient, and caring. Her ability to help me heal transcended what all the medical professionals were able to achieve, and within months I was back on track to living a healthy lifestyle. It’s been ten years since I started studying with Stephanie and thanks to my work with her I’ve been able to avoid the surgery. I’ve also done so without compromise as I’m able to enjoy karate, sailing, golf, tennis, surfing and all sorts of other rigorous sports… all without back pain.” – Dan Kern
