Daniel Steiniger has been an adrenaline junkie since the day he was born. Whether it was riding his big wheel down any hill he could find as a kid, playing soccer, snowboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, running or competing in triathlons, physical movement has always been a way for him to quiet the mind and tap into the inner Self.After his second back surgery from snowboarding, he found his way to yoga as a way to try and prevent back injuries from occurring in the future. Initially, Daniel’s interest in yoga was purely as a means to become more flexible and increase core strength. After a life-changing awakening experience in the fall of 2012, something in his heart told him that there was more to yoga that he needed to learn. In early 2013 he enrolled in Yoga District’s RYT 200 Teacher Training led by Jasmine Chehrazi, completing his training in May 2013. The next month in June, he attended the screening of The Highest Pass at BuddhaFest, featuring yoga teacher Anand Mehrotra. The next day, Anand’s powerful talk entitled “Warriors of Wisdom” resonated deeply with Daniel. Ten months later, Daniel attended Sattva Yoga's Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India, led by Anand and earning Daniel his RYT 500. Since then he's returned to India numerous times going through Anand's TT two additional times and in November 2016 he attended Sattva Yoga's first Master Teacher Training. Daniel has also completed the Baptiste Yoga Level 1 Journey Into Power training.His mission to live fully in the NOW involves running, biking, dancing and daily meditation & Sattva Yoga practice. Driven on a quest to help create a nonviolent, peaceful and conscious world, Daniel founded Rebel Yoga and Rebel Recovery. He has witnessed the transformations within the hearts of his students and knows, without a doubt, that the ripple effect of one open heart, can reach hundreds of souls locked in pain and self-doubt.
