Spieser-Schneider currently works as a Lecturer in the Dance Department at Eastern Michigan University, in program development and as a Facilitator for support groups at Garrett’s Space, as an Iyengar Yoga Instructor at Yoga Focus Collective and freelance as an instructor, choreographer and director at various other locations. She is rich in curiosity and believes wholeheartedly in the power of creativity and collaboration as vital skills in building the world we wish to live in. Her work - through teaching, facilitation, choreography, performance and personal practice - is all about using movement and our bodies as tools for self-realization, developing awareness and living well. Outside of her movement-based work you will find her in the garden, walking in the woods with her pup or drinking coffee in the sun. She currently resides in Ypsilanti, Michigan where she teaches and creates work. She resonates strongly with the below quote from Susan Raffo:
“Education, we all know, should support us to experience life, ours and what surrounds us. This means supporting us to be in deep relationship with our first and original homes: our physical bodies…”
