Steve Etkin

Steve’s journey to teaching started with injuries sustained from sprinting while working as a senior-level soccer referee. The injuries had as much to do with ego as with an aging body. He planned to practice yoga to extend his referee life, but over time, he started spending less time on the pitch and more time in the studio, eventually stopping refereeing entirely and devoting the added time to his practice. Yoga has helped him overcome the ego thing, while improving his strength, flexibility, and balance. He is Yoga Alliance RYT 200 certified and TRX Qualified. He teaches Vinyasa yoga from rookie to advanced levels. In addition, he teaches a fusion of Vinyasa and TRX, a suspension training system using body weight and gravity for resistance.
