Intensives and Workshops with: Biography:
Steve began his martial arts studies with Judo and Jujitsu
as a child while living in Brazil during the 1960’s. He briefly studied
judo again as an adult, but in 1981 he switched to Aikido after attending
classes with George Simcox Sensei, the long-time Chief Instructor of
the Virginia Ki Society. For the last 27 years Steve has continued to
train in the art, and in 2005 he became Head Instructor at the Northern
Virginia Ki Aikido dojo, which is the largest facility in the state
system. He continues to give Aikido and Ki Development workshops and
seminars in several states and Canada.
At age 18,
Steve Wolf got his first exposure to yoga from his Brazilian aunt who
had studied for many years with a guru in her home country. After experimenting
with an assortment of yoga classes through the years, Steve resumed
regular practice in the 1990’s when a new yoga studio opened near his
home in the Maryland suburbs of Washington D.C. Attendance at these
classes began as a fun thing to share with his wife, but he soon began
to notice that regular yoga practice was making him stronger as an Aikidoist,
and having a positive affect on other areas of his life as well.
He went on to fulfill both his 200 &
500 hour Yoga Alliance teacher
certification requirements with Cathy Plato, founder of Yoga West in
Houston Texas. Steve’s teaching style is also strongly influenced by
the IYT (Integrative Yoga Therapy) approach,
which he studied for six years with Jackie Novak, the founder of Harmony
Yoga in Ft. Washington, MD. Steve will soon finish a three-year advanced
certification training in the Pranakriya
yoga tradition with master teacher, Yoganand Michael Carroll. For over
40 years Steve has been a professional musician and has traveled throughout
the United States and Europe playing with many of the Mid-Atlantic region’s
top bands. He continues as an active freelance musician and currently
leads the popular swing/jazz ensemble Swing Speak. For more information
