About
Steven and Kathleen Holm are the founders of Spectrum Yoga. What began as a dance at Burning Man in 1998 has blossomed into an app company, two yoga studios and three children: Shawn T. Holm, Seeta Holm and Bodhi Holm. Steven has been doing yoga since 1973. His mother was a natural child birth educator and his grandmother taught yoga. He remembers being in PE class and the teacher being so impressed with the way he could stretch, he assigned Steven to lead the stretching segment all throughout junior high. His father was a Premier Soccer coach and taught the kids guided meditation and visualizations. In this lifetime he has been a firefighter, cab driver, Equity Stage Actor, Commercial Real Estate broker and more. Each of these roles he has played has helped him deepen his connection to that which he loves most: helping others to find peace. His classes focus on how to control the mind and he uses a vigorous vinyasa flow practice as a method for seeing how we react in difficult situations. Steven completed his first teacher training in 2003 with his teachers Sharon Gannon and David Life.
Kathleen’s first yoga class wasn’t until 1998. Growing up in a house with three brothers near Chicago did not offer her much exposure to yoga! She was a graphic designer working near the World Trade Center when the towers were struck in 2001. Three days later she lost a job and within a month she was hired to manage a world-renowned yoga studio, Jivamukti Yoga School. Within a year she was promoted to Operations Manager and was able to work very closely with her teachers Sharon Gannon and David Life. During this time she practiced daily and found herself wondering what it was like to be on the other side of the mat as the teacher. She did the Jivamukti Yoga Teacher Training program in 2003 and went on to exclusively teach for the next three years.
