Stephanie Creaturo
In 2007, Steph co-founded Mala Yoga, a community-based studio in Brooklyn, NY, with the idea that yoga can be a lifelong, life-enriching practice, both on the mat and off. She wanted Mala to be a place that felt inviting instead of intimidating, a safe space where students would want to bring their moms or boyfriends to give yoga a try. Steph teaches practitioners of all levels of experience. Her specialty is basics class, where she communicates advanced principles of anatomy and alignment with clarity, patience, humor–and a real-life context that helps students understand how these ancient poses can help them manage the physical and emotional challenges of the modern age. Steph’s teaching and learning is inspired by her passion for the practice and its benefits, and the belief that everyone can (and should!) “do” yoga. Steph is also an avid, lifelong runner who believes that running and yoga can — and need to — peacefully co-exist! Huge shout outs filled with gratitude and love to her students, who inspire her each and every class; her family, who continue to put up with her wacky schedule, and Angela & Christina, who make this path an absolute joy in every way possible.
