heyyyy my name is stevie (last name hopper) but you can call me steve if it pleases the court

i joined co-directors rebecca ambrose (pictured above) and april evans for the first teacher training at the corner yoga studio in williamsburg in early 2023 and it rocked my freaking socks

after getting the hang of things for the first few years mostly teaching at the corner, i wanted to keep learning!! near the end of 2024, i started my 300-hour training with ISHTA yoga (aka integrated science of hatha, tantra and ayurveda) in 2024, officially completing it at the beginning of 2026

i have additional training in yin yoga, yoga nidra, and trauma-informed somatic practices + i <3 offering hands-on adjustments :)

i care a lot a lot about making asana (physical postures) feel available to all bodies, ages, abilities, curiosities, energy levels, and ayurvedic constitutions

if i’m not on my mat, i’m probably providing excellent service at a restaurant or watching bad television at home

this is me as a weeeee lad — my ballet career was as brief as my karate one but you can see how the skills translate

i’m reallyyyyy good at making longaniza tacos (btw), cuddling w/ my cat named toaster, taking trips that i can’t technically afford, taking pictures of everything, and rotflmao

there is a good chance that you may also know me (more formally) as steveboobjobs

in the age of the attention economy, yoga is resistance!!! at the very least it’s a time to get off of your screen and into your body

ps. in-studio classes can be expensive so if money is a big obstacle to your mat, i always have guest passes available — just hmu!!

lots of studios have community-priced classes and work-study opportunities too, just ask
