Steven first discovered yoga five years ago. He has also been practicing Karate since 2003, and is a keen runner, participating in over ten marathons.

Steven was lead to yoga as an activity to help with his martial arts and running activities and started to attend yoga classes at Red Hot Yoga in Guildford in order to improve his flexibility and posture as well as to aid in recovery. He was particularly drawn to the Yin, Sivananda and Yoga Nidra classes. This led to Steven taking his 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training qualification at RHY.

His main teachers have been Clarissa Ord, Denise Marlow, Alex Cook and Mandy Penalver.

Steven has a willingness to try different types of yoga and alternative techniques which led him to complete the Easy Flexibility Training Certification (EFTC) with Paul Zaichik in August 2017.

Steven recognises that each student is different with a variety of goals and needs. He believes that everyone can benefit from Yoga no at any stage of life. He has a relaxed approach focusing on restorative poses and gently improving flexibility and hopes you leave class feeling restored and rejuvenated.
