“Never be afraid to allow yourself to simply exist, to be present, to simply be.”
Welcome!

Steven’s Approach
My practice is rooted in the belief that movement is medicine and breath is a pathway to presence. Through Kemetic yoga and intentional, grounded movement, I support others in reconnecting with their bodies, quieting the mind, and honoring the wisdom within. Each class is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and cultivate a deeper sense of alignment—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

About Steven Rousseau
I’m a personal trainer, holistic nutritionist, and certified Kemetic yoga instructor, born and raised in New York City. Since 2006, I’ve been deeply rooted in the world of fitness and wellness, drawing from a background in physical therapy assistance, physical education, and athletics.
My journey began through sports—playing football and running track at both the high school and collegiate levels—which sparked a lasting passion for movement, healing, and strength. That passion evolved into professional certifications in personal training, holistic nutrition, and yoga, allowing me to support others in cultivating resilience, balance, and long-term well-being.
Holistic wellness is more than a profession—it’s a way of life that I’m honored to share through my work with others.
