Steve Wolf
Steve’s first learned yoga from his Brazilian aunt who had studied for many years in her home country. He especially remembers the powerful, guided relaxations she would narrate at the end of her sessions. After experimenting with an assortment of classes over the years, Steve’s yoga practice solidified when he realized how much it benefited his other passion, Aikido. A devoted student of this philosophical Japanese martial art for almost 30 years, he is now head instructor at the Northern Virginia Ki Aikido dojo just outside Washington DC. Aikido’s focus on non-harming (ahimsa), along with an emphasis on centered movement and balance strongly influences Steve’s yoga teaching style. He is recognized by The National Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher), and his practice is now centered in the Pranakria/Kripalu Yoga tradition under the guidance of master teacher, Yoganand Michael Carroll. For over 40 years, Steve has also been a professional musician performing throughout the U.S. and Europe.
