Join Steven Beck for our May community class.
This heated Yin class will be a slow, intentional practice designed to cultivate deep connection and release. We’ll begin with a verbal component focused on the three 👁️'s—Identity, Intention, and Inspiration—where I’ll model the practice before inviting everyone to share. This opening exercise helps build community and set the tone for the practice. From there, we’ll move through six heart-opening Yin poses, allowing ample time to settle into each posture and explore stillness. Shavasana will be a full 10 minutes, creating space for complete relaxation.
Steven’s Bio:
Yoga Bio
I am Steven William Beck. I have been practicing yoga for 7+ years. I taught my first class as a
volunteer when the teacher was sick a little over a year ago. And since have taught many more
as a volunteer at my local gym and one other gym. In June of 2019 through a scholarship I won
doing headstand tricks on Instagram. I attended, learned, and completed my 200 hr Yoga
Teacher training through CircAsana yoga in Morocco, Africa. My formal training included the
study of: Techniques, Training, & Practice; Teaching Methodology; Anatomy and Physiology;
Yoga Philosophy; Lifestyle and Ethics for Yoga Teachers; and Teaching Practicum.
My journey to find yoga is more about heart than anything else. My step-mother was diagnosed
with Ovarian Cancer and given 6 months to live. She wanted more from life and it was
suggested to her to try yoga. Five and ½ years later about one month of me starting a life
changing diet, lifestyle, and being change my Mom gave me my first lesson in her house in
Virginia. I told her I appreciated her time but I didn’t really think it was for me. I was 335lbs at the
time and had an incredibly hard time doing what she was asking as my body didn’t move so
gracefully. Six month later she gave me a call. I had lost 60 lbs by then and we were talking
through text a lot and I also spent 3 more weeks in Virginia. The call was to be the last call. She
said several things but asked me to do one thing. Her last request was that I start taking yoga
classes regularly because she knew it would help me in ways I wasn’t capable of seeing. She
passed several days later. While in Virginia for her services my Dad gave me her yoga mat and
other accessories. I came back from Virginia and met Alex Julian, my first yoga mentor. He gave
me a book to read, Light on Yoga by BKS Iyengar and my first of many lessons. As I have a
Master’s degree in Teaching English Literature the book was at first my greatest source of
inspiration and guidance. In the next 5 months I would lose another 75 lbs by adding a daily
home practice as well as four classes per week into my workout regime. My Mom knew more
than I gave her credit for ALWAYS!
Since my lifestyle has come to encompass that of a modern day yogi. It has helped me not only
in finding physical fitness but mental and spiritual fitness as well. Another door it opened was
my returning to college to get another degree in Theater. Being a student and a teacher are both
things that have come naturally to me as an inquisitive being.
My hope is to be able to help others to come to their own version of the Yogi’s life that suits
them. To understand their needs and use the knowledge I have sought out to share with them a
variety of ways to get where they want to go in the physical practice of yoga as well as philosophical understanding.
