Stephen Hartnett
Stephen started practicing yoga in 2001 in Seattle under the guidance of his first teacher, Matt Meko. After years of looking for ways to heal from various injuries and health challenges, he found a great deal of relief in the breath practices of pranayama.
Stephen decided to take his yoga practice deeper by studying at Lotus Yoga, there he earned his RYT 200-hour certification in 2017, Stephen is currently completing his 500-hour certification with Lotus. Stephen is registered with the Yoga Alliance.
Stephen offers private and group classes. He teaches at Lotus Yoga in Columbia City and Tukwila Village Senior Center among other venues. His classes happen on the mat, in the chair, online and sometimes in the park! Stephen also teaches Goat Yoga at the Wobbly Ranch in Snohomish when classes are in session.
When he is not teaching yoga, he can be found wandering the neighborhoods of South Seattle with groups of dogs on leash or teaching students French and English!

Sustainable Practice classes focus on how to work with our yoga practice so that it can be sustainable over time. We practice different options of yoga poses, listening to our bodies so that we can practice variations to best suit our unique beings for optimal benefits from our practice over the long-haul.
On an experiential level, the class is taught from the perspective of the importance of the nervous system in healthy movement; class feels gentle while also supporting our stability and our body-mind integration. We start with extended slow and mindful movement and breath to prime our awareness and mindfulness and build skills that we can take forward into the rest of class and into our everyday life. Class also includes accessible stability work and strength-building, restorative postures and, of course, an ending rest (savasana) to integrate our experiences.
All bodies are welcome!
