From Steffy
”I was first introduced to yoga at the age of 13 but it wasn’t until my early 20’s that I really found the meaning of yoga and brought the foundations of the practice into my daily life. I live by way the of yoga, allowing the teachings to ripple through the whole of my life and my choices. The practice has completely transformed my life, my way of thinking, the little moments in between the big moments, I’m truly grateful for it all, it’s a humbling process. To learn and re learn over and over. For me yoga is the path of growth and of freedom. I make a daily choice to grow and awaken to all that surrounds me with gratitude. The more grateful I become the more I live with purpose. Yoga continues to teach me every day, on and off the mat and it’s the biggest honour to get to share it with so many people. Teaching feels like the greatest gift, it’s amazing to witness the potential of the human being and the great capacity for love. For me as a teacher that’s what I hope to share, our capacity to love and be loved is limitless. The energy that fills the space, the grace that I feel by the wisdom that visits, it’s the most rewarding, beautiful thing in the world to get to share yoga. I have completed over 1000 hours of trainings, from India to Bali I’ve travelled far to my teachers. I’ve trained in ashtanga vinyasa, rocket yoga, mandala vinyasa, yin yoga and the chakras, meridian theory, acro vinyasa yoga and pre and post natal and baby massage. My style is fluid, playful and always evolving. It’s a total joy to get to share the magic of yoga and it gives me goosebumps to focus on how grateful I am to get to do this and to meet you. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to practice with me.”
