This philosophy means he presents his classes in a way that best serves his students and simplifies a seemingly complicated practice. He offers a challenging yet accessible yoga class that is infused with philosophy, breathing, anatomy and alignment. He is continually growing both as a teacher and a student. His training is ongoing and constantly evolving. His dedication and passion for yoga allows him to continually grow while sharing all of his knowledge and enthusiasm with his students.

Hi! My name is Beth Steffens and I am delighted to be joining the Palmetto Yoga and Reiki Center! I love Yoga and have been practicing and teaching since 1986 when I was first introduced to Kundalini Yoga while living in Phoenix, Arizona. After relocating to Columbia to pursue a graduate degree at The University of South Carolina; I was able to continue practicing as a student. I began teaching classes here in 1995, and although my style of teaching has evolved with time and experience, its essence has remained. The transformative power of yoga is incontrovertible and I look forward to learning growing alongside you!
