Steve Woolf 
Steve was initially introduced to yoga during staff training for wilderness guides in 1996. He began practicing in earnest when he moved to Berkeley in 2003. In Berkeley, he studied many forms of yoga before discovering Anusara at YogaKula, where he studied under Bo Srey, Pablo Mueller and Kimber Simpkins. He has also studied with John Friend as well as practicing a variety of yoga methods in the bay area, Portland, Eugene, and Coeur D’Alene, where he was trained to teacher yoga. Steve interweaves alignment, breath, and wisdom traditions with immediacy, warmth and a dash of mirth for good measure.Steve holds a BA degree in Psychology from Mount Union College, a MS.Ed in Counseling from Northern Illinois University and three years of study in the psychology doctoral program at the Institute of Imaginal Studies (now Meridian university), where his area of emphasis was cultural leadership. His primary areas of research include: establishing presence, transformative interpersonal and community making practices and the emergence of human capacities within transformative learning communities. Steve’s professional career includes public and private guiding, teaching and counseling in wilderness, clinical, college and university settings in the US and abroad. He teaches yoga, and provides transformative soul work for groups, couples and individuals. But most of the time he is either in the kitchen, doing household chores or playing with his son: all things that he finds replenishing. |
