So, tell me Steph...
How did a farm boy from North Dakota end up practicing and teaching yoga?
First, I had to leave North Dakota. Then, years later, a friend suggested I may take some benefit from practicing Yoga. I tried it, loved it, and the rest, as they say, is history. By the way, I never lived on a farm. I was the ND version of an urbanite. Ha!

Ashtanga Vinyasa. Why does this style of yoga resonate with you more than others?
Ashtanga Vinyasa is a genuine, tried-and-true method. It asks for everything you've got, then it requires a little more. I don't mean just physically, either. As a path of transformation, it is very thorough. The practice unfolds over a lifetime. If you dedicate yourself to the Ashtanga method it will rock your world. Dabbling in it will not yield lasting benefits. It is not an instant gratification path. It is not for people who do not want to overcome the slimy-toothy-scary things that lurk in the darkest corners of their being. It is not for lazy people. It is for people who want to become the human they were meant to be. No small task, for sure.

How has your practice evolved over time?
It's gotten more challenging and rewarding.

What do you do when you're not "yoga-ing"?
I'm a Ninja Assassin and Flamenco Singer . . . not really. I make paintings and read books. I enjoy traveling. Myriad other things. Sleeping.
