Stephen was introduced to yoga at the age of 16 and immediately felt a connection to the benefits of yoga. After some years exploring the practice he dedicated himself to the traditional system of Ashtanga Yoga.

He practiced under the guidance of Jean Byrne and Rob Schutze at The Yoga Space who inspired him to take multiple trips to Mysore, India to practice in the traditional lineage of Ashtanga Yoga. After some years of practice at The Yoga Space and during a change of career phase, Jean motivated Stephen to undertake Yoga Teacher Training. Stephen found a calling in teaching Yoga and this led him into studying Physiotherapy.

Stephen complements the dynamic Ashtanga practice with a more still Yin Yoga practice. He has undertaken teacher training with Paul Grilley in Yin Yoga Teaching, Anatomy of Yin Yoga, Meridian Theory and Meditation. He runs the Yin Yoga Teacher Training course at The Yoga Space – Perth WA.

Stephen hosts Yin Yoga teacher training at The Yoga Space, participates in their foundational Yoga Teacher Training and contributes to training with Living Yoga Therapy. Stephen enjoys teaching Ashtanga and Yin classes at The Yoga Space and working as a Physiotherapist integrating his Yogic knowledge with traditional Physical Therapy.
