Meet the Instructors

Steven Willard is in his 20th year of teaching and 30ish year of practicing. A nurturer and a charmer, Steven is stiff-human friendly, friend to people with sore backs, friend to people with body image issues, friend to people who are self-conscious or anxious and friendly to people who are yoga-phobic.

Steven believes in and embodies the maxim that yoga is for everyone. He sees yoga as the union of body, breath, and spirit with an all-important added dash of humor, and always open to grace. His classes are rooted in the concept of doing less harm - ahimsa. His aim is to provide a supportive, energetic, interactive and challenging environment which enables students to discover the life-changing power of the practice for themselves.
