Ever pushing boundaries, Erin and Stephen have both been displaying their confidence elsewhere.
ERIN WILSON
Erin, formerly of Equinox and Yogaworks, heads Erin Wilson Pilates through which she offers popular and innovative classes online, (and in normal times. at three Manhattan Studios and at retreats regionally).
Stephen, originally a student of Wilson’s, has this to say about her teaching:
“Erin is not just a teacher, she is an example. From the moment she takes the stage in the Pilates cyber room she moves you toward your fitness goals because she exudes health and confidence.”
She keeps things fresh by varying the routine you thought you knew. She brings a personal touch to the series so that the Pilates regiment never feels regimented. My nickname for her is “Erin GoLightly” because as intense as Pilates can be, time passes lightly in her class as you give her your best because she is always at hers.”
STEPHEN KENNEDY MURPHY
Stephen is “a director of opera and theater with a powerful voice.” (NY Times). He trained at Juilliard, has taught at Yale and directed performances in venues on Broadway and at Lincoln Center. His acting students have gone on to leading roles on Showtime and HBO.
Erin has this to say about Stephen's teaching:
"When I started working on acting technique with Stephen, his approach surprised me. As a novice actor and someone who had never taken an acting class outside of middle school drama, he led me through a series of exercises teaching me that acting is about listening and responding. His techniques taught me that to act well, one has to be deeply rooted in the present moment.
Over a course of many sessions working together, I began to see how this new skill development was helping me in my career in fitness. As an instructor, I am constantly in front of people and in the spotlight. Working with Stephen gave me a fresh and grounded approach to teaching in front of a class. I find myself much more grounded, cool, and calmly focused."
