Meet Steven Brice and
Yoga 4 the World

Yoga 4 The World was born out of Steven J. Brice’s deepest personal crisis. Steven felt a desperate, driving need to do something different. On the yoga mat, Steven found more than just movement; he found a vehicle that led him back into the light, offering him the peace, healing, and self-love he had long been searching for. 

As Steven experienced this profound healing, he was struck by a powerful conviction that these practices should not be a luxury reserved for the few but a right accessible to everyone. Today, Yoga 4 The World is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that honors the philosophy of serving the whole person from the cradle to the grave. Yoga 4 the World’s work transcends traditional boundaries, bringing mindfulness into religious and corporate settings alike to ensure that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the tools of well-being.
