STUDENT achievements
graduate stories
After completing their YTT with Stefan, students experiences a positive transformation, leaving with a deeper understanding of yoga, philosophy, and tools to live a happier life.
For those who choose to pursue yoga as a career, the possibilities are endless. Graduates often start by teaching part-time while balancing other jobs, but it’s always a special moment when yoga becomes their full-time profession. The success stories are inspiring – Mac Trembly, Kathryn Chivers, and Kathryn Gregory run local and international retreats, while many others like Clare Acton, Katy Flower, Pip Northam, and Ushi Steedman, teach full-time schedules in their hometowns.
Some graduates have even created innovative businesses that take yoga beyond the studio walls. Melanie Hood founded Mindful Movement Yoga, which brings yoga to schools and corporate clients. Others have become educators themselves, running modules on trainings – Corne, Marilina, Deshantha, Kristina, Kate and Sabrina who all work with on YTT with Stefan are graduates, while Lisa Wuhuu leads anatomy and physiology modules in Austria.
One standout graduate, Julia Piper, runs her own trainings in Germany after completing the YTT in 2017. Kathryn Gregory not only has her own Yin YTT but also manages the operations at another graduate studio, Stone’s Throw Yoga in Perth. And let’s not forget the amazing Suzie Clark lives as a digital nomad and runs The Remote Edition Podcast from her new home in Bali. Finally, 2018 grad Vital Beat Yoga in Perth.
Others have taken a more significant plunge and now run their own yoga studios. There are, at last count, six studios in Europe, Asia and Australia founded and run by graduates from Stefan’s course.
