Dr Steven Athwal

Crow Pose

Steven is a trained scientist whose career as a research biochemist has taken him across the globe. This background deeply informs his unique and highly respected approach to teaching yoga. He brings the curiosity, precision, and analytical thinking of a scientist into the studio, enabling him to communicate the practice in a way that resonates with even those who consider themselves sceptical or resistant to yoga.

Steven's method emphasises understanding the why behind the what. When teaching asana, Steven breaks movements down with clarity, helping students grasp the anatomical and physiological logic behind each action. This approach empowers practitioners to develop safe, sustainable forms of movement while becoming more attuned to their own bodies. His solid grounding in anatomy and physiology also allows him to work confidently with students of all abilities, offering thoughtful adjustments with or without props to ensure accessibility and alignment.

Steven’s practice and teaching are profoundly shaped by the influence of Guru Mahinder Prasad, Yogi Buddhi Prakash, and Sant Roshan Singh Ji. He also belongs to a direct lineage that traces back to some of the most significant figures in modern yoga—B.K.S. Iyengar, Pattabhi Jois, and Tirumalai Krishnamacharya. This lineage enriches his understanding of the tradition while grounding his work in depth, discipline, and respect for the roots of the practice.

Through this blend of scientific discipline and traditional yogic wisdom, and over 4000 hours of teaching, Steven offers a thoughtful, precise, and deeply informed experience of yoga—one that meets students where they are while guiding them toward greater awareness and transformation.
