Stéphanie Laparre

Stéphanie Laparre’s journey with scoliosis began at age twelve, when she was diagnosed with a severe spinal curvature and spent six years wearing a Milwaukee brace. Living with scoliosis for over four decades has shaped her understanding of the physical and emotional challenges of life with an asymmetrical spine.

Originally from France, Stéphanie is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) trained in Hatha Yoga and completed an 800-hour yoga therapy program at IDYT in Paris. She has pursued further training with Elise Browning Miller, Deborah Wolk, Doug Keller, and other specialists in anatomy and therapeutic movement.

Her approach integrates scoliosis-specific yoga, somatic movement, breathwork, and mindful strengthening. She uses a Yoga Wall and various props to support spinal elongation, encourage body awareness, and adapt movement to each person’s unique spinal patterns and abilities.

Stéphanie is particularly interested in helping adults navigate aging with scoliosis, including changes in posture, strength, and mobility. Drawing on her background in education, she emphasizes understanding one’s own body and developing practical tools for everyday life.

She believes that living well with scoliosis involves ongoing exploration, adaptation, and self-care. Her goal is to help individuals move with greater confidence, comfort, and independence.

Stéphanie offers individualized, in-person yoga therapy sessions in Bloomington, Indiana.
