Stephen Sheikhli was a very inflexible marathon runner before struggling through his
first yoga class in 2007. A year later, he became a 200-hour certified
yoga instructor through YogaWorks, hosted by Triangle Yoga in Chapel Hill NC. Since then,
he has taught at numerous studios and corporate gyms in the Raleigh
area. His classes follow the YogaWorks style in their blend of flow plus
Iyengar-based alignment, but they add influences drawn from the
workshops of the many master teachers Stephen has studied with over the
years, including Gabriel Halpern, Doug Keller and Ray Long. When not
teaching, Stephen practices various styles of Hatha Yoga and works as a
freelance editor.
