Steve

Steve's classes are packed with fun, yoga mythology, rocking music and challenging arm balances.  His intense passion for yoga shines through as he teaches and he honours yoga tradition beautifully with the modern-day desire to get an amazing workout. His honoured personal gurus are Shiva Rea, Mark Whitwell, Daniel Aaron, Edward Clark, Simon Borg-Olivier and Emil Wendel... his deities are Ganesha, Shiva and Lakshmi.

His yoga journey started in 1975, back in the day when yogis were hippies, everything was Hatha Yoga and everyone was illuminated by BKS Iyengar’s amazing oracle book “Light on Yoga”. In the late 90’s he embraced K Pattabhi Jois’s Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and finally found his path when a friend invited him to join a Shiva Rea Yoga Flow Retreat in Greece in 2005.  He is a Registered 200 hr Yoga Alliance Teacher but has gone on to complete over 550 hours of Teacher Training mainly in Ubud, Los Angeles, Santorini, Fiji and Costa Rica. He is continually amazed at how much he doesn’t know.

Steve discovered the Yoga Sanctuary in 2009 and liked it so much that he bought into it in 2010.  He describes his style as “moving meditation with breath and a smile” or more seriously as Krishnamacharya Prana Vinyasa (Flow) but he honours all styles and all teachers of Yoga.
