Steve Clark
Steve’s yoga journey began as a curious teenager who stumbled across a yoga book that opened a window into a vastly different world from the one he was growing up in. That spark led him to further explore eastern meditation, Kung Fu, and Chan Style Tai Chi in addition to yoga. In his 20s and 30s, Steve channeled his restless energy into extreme challenges – from arctic and desert expeditions to high-altitude endurance events – pushing his body and mind to his limits. But after multiple burnouts and injuries, he found himself coming full circle back to yoga, this time with a new focus: restoring balance, rather than chasing it.
For Steve, yoga isn’t about perfect postures – it’s about moving, breathing and living well. It’s a practice that builds strength and mobility, steadies a busy mind, and creates space to pause in the middle of life’s chaos. Hyperactive by nature, he’s found in yoga a way to experience stillness in movement and use breath as an anchor for the mind. Now in his 50s, Steve sees yoga as one of the most valuable tools for maintaining quality of life as we age – and believes it’s never too late to start. His classes are practical, inclusive, and adaptable to all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners.
Steve is a student teacher on the Diploma in Teaching Yoga Course (500 hours) with the British Wheel of Yoga (BWY-38717).
What’s in a name?
Everything! Well especially one that includes the word ‘unity’ which has many layers of meaning. "Unity Through Yoga" encapsulates the essence of yoga's meaning and purpose. "Yoga" signifies union, bringing together the mind, body, and spirit through practice. By integrating traditional yoga texts and philosophy with modern practice, we aim to unify ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding, whilst approaching yoga in the spirit of playfulness, creativity and curiosity.
The Lotus Flower
The lotus flower serves as a powerful symbol of non-attachment and growth in various spiritual traditions, embodying the wisdom that beauty can arise from the depths of adversity. Rooted in the murky depths of ponds and lakes, the lotus draws nutrients from the muddy waters, yet it remains unstained by the impurities that surround it. The lotus exemplifies the concept that true beauty exists even while rooted in the mud. It symbolises the practice of non-attachment in which individuals can cultivate inner peace, resilience, and learn to thrive amidst challenging circumstances.
