2ND ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION CLASS

Steven is a Movement Master, Author, and Recovery Advocate who is dedicated to helping others live a happier, healthier life. His lifelong passion and a key foundation to his own spiritual fitness is movement ​and he firmly believes our relationship with our body is vital for emotional, psychological, and spiritual health.  

 

Steven had a successful career as a contemporary dancer, working at New York City Opera, Metropolitan Opera, and appearing on Broadway in Disney’s, The Lion King but to help him cope with anxiety and self-doubt, he often relied on drugs and alcohol. Twenty years ago, Steven made a conscious decision to get sober and his true life’s work began. Since then, he has impacted countless lives through movement and his keen ability to connect ​and relate to others.  

 

During his study of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Steven fell in love with Qigong, which he describes as, "A moving meditation that supports the health of our body, mind, and spirit.” He is a Certified Qigong Instructor and a Pilates teacher and has taught individuals and groups for over 20 years. Adding to his knowledge of the body and its energy systems, Steven is also a qualified Neuromuscular Massage Therapist. 

  

In 2020, Steven launched SWE Studio membership with a unique focus on a Pilates/Qigong fusion class. Steven's online members' community supports the well-being of those he reaches through movement classes, meditation, and an extensive library of resources for the body, mind, and soul. 

Steven’s writings, articles, and life experiences created the inspiration for his first book, Recovering You, Soul Care and Mindful Movement for Overcoming Addiction. Published by New World Library, the book’s unique self-care focus is complemented by the use of Qigong movements. The opportunity to be of service through his book is particularly meaningful to Steven as it enhances his own growth and recovery while helping others to do the same.
