Paul Steele’s yoga journey started about 10 years ago when he attended yoga classes to try to improve his flexibility. When he was 63, he damaged his knee in a fitness boxing class. To find a solution, he discovered yin yoga. This inspired him to attend a Yoga Alliance teachers’ course in Spain that taught him the practices and principles of yin yoga.
