Steve Wolf

Steve Wolf is a yoga and meditation teacher from the Washington DC area, best known for his recorded yoga nidra. He first tried yoga as a teenager with a Brazilian aunt who had practised for years, and his practice deepened in the 1990s alongside a long commitment to Ki Aikido, the Japanese martial art, in which he leads the Northern Virginia dojo. He trained as a yoga teacher at Yoga West near Houston to the 500-hour level, later gained an advanced certificate in the Pranakriya tradition under Yoganand Michael Carroll, and is certified in Baxter Bell's Yoga for Healthy Aging approach.

In 2005 he set up Awase Publishing to release meditation and yoga recordings, starting with Relax Deeply and going on to Savasana: The Art of Deep Relaxation, Yoga Nidra for Kids of All Ages with teacher Emily Gretz, and the Discovering Chair Yoga DVD. His guidance is slow, steady and plain, moving attention through the body point by point in the Himalayan style, with simple breathing and a feel for centred balance that comes from his martial arts training. He has taught classes and workshops at studios in Northern Virginia and Maryland, including chair yoga for older adults, and he has shared his practices on Insight Timer for many years. He is also a professional musician.
