Hi, we're Jenifer & Michael
We each started practicing a well-known style of yoga around 2005 and immediately experienced the amazing life-changing benefits, but we didn’t meet until many years later in 2014 when we began to run bricks-and-mortar hot yoga studios across Northern Virginia.
We knew that yoga, in general, has helped millions of people improve their quality of life. We felt deeply it was our responsibility to share it with others. We passionately believe in the daily and immediate healing that yoga can bring to all kinds of people, backgrounds, and body types who want to show up for themselves.
As we reflect on our journey, our hearts swell with gratitude for the community of yoga practitioners that we’ve met along the way.

Following two total hip replacements, two foot surgeries, and a host of other excuses, I did not think I would ever return to yoga. After following all the instructions of my orthopedic surgeon regarding recovery, I mustered up the nerve to try a 90-minute class again. It was a revelation. Now, at age 64, I'm back at my practice and loving it. I'm getting more benefits from the practice now than I ever did. I can see real progress in my struggle to improve balance, strength, and stamina.
Happily, none of my yoga activities have been impeded by my various surgeries, and I do not suffer any pain. In fact, in addition to the satisfaction of exercising, I have increased tranquility and patience. If you knew me, you would know that both those things are sorely needed. Naturally, I would be remiss if I did not mention the support provided by the studio owners and the YogaSteady staff. They make taking yoga classes rewarding and encourage each small increment of improvement. I plan to continue my practice for many years.
