Those who live passionately Teach us how to love. Those who love passionately Teach us how to live. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda

Hello! My name is Steph Kang, founder of Turtle Flo. I’m a Reiki Master Teacher & E-RYT 500 yoga instructor based in Santa Monica, CA. Turtle Flo represents a lifestyle utilizing yogic philosophies, practices and reiki healing to help you become your most creative Self. Inspired by the essence of the turtle; wisdom, longevity and steady paced approach to life with consistency to help you build a strong foundation to alchemize your sensitivity into gifts. This approach aligns you to flow with life instead of struggling against it to create your visions to reality with ease.

I know first hand that these practices and healing modalities will help You de-stress and shine brightly. It’ll activate the natural healing power of your body and connects you to the wisdom of your heart where your True Self resides. Yoga works from inside out with the ultimate goal of stilling the mind. That’s what it means to

Go within and find your inner sparkle!

I was introduced to yoga in 1999 through a corporate yoga class at a web design house I was working at in Venice, CA. After the first yoga practice, I felt so light that I felt like I could fly. Years later I went to Bryan Kest’s Power Yoga class to support a friend heal from a back/nerve pain. This led me to Bryan’s teacher training in Tulum, Mexico to deepen my practice and heal from a broken heart and depression. Not only did I find healing but joy & inner peace beyond imaginable. Most unexpectedly, many serendipities lead me to the 300hr Professional Teacher Training with YogaWorks® and the path of a yoga instructor.
