Raja Yoga
8 - Week Immersion
All classes 90 minutes.
Call (503) 724-2755 to register.

Ask about the Steve Davis Corporate Yoga ProgramTM and the Steve Davis Present Moment CourseTM.

I am a registered yoga teacher with over 30 years experience, and a licensed massage therapist with over four years of experience.

A structured program with me will help you to achieve enhanced performance in all aspects of life, abundant health, and the realization of your unique gift and purpose in life.

My clinical practice follows an integrated approach, utilizing the following massage modalities: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Structural Alignment, Zen Shiatsu, Traditional Thai, Chinese (Acupressure and Tui Na), Sports, Medical, Hot and Cold Stone, plus the root of Tai Chi Chuan, and Yoga.

Zen Shiatsu is the primary therapy in my practice. Zen Shiatsu follows TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) in full, and it is more than TCM, as hara diagnosis and therapy are employed.

I am available for teaching courses in massage therapy and yoga, including the Steve Davis Corporate Yoga ProgramTM and the Steve Davis Present Moment CourseTM. These courses are unique to the world, and integrate together.

Please feel welcome to call for a free posture assessment and to get acquainted.

Mahalo, Namaste, Thanks.

See the client testimonials written by my yoga students.

"Steve Davis is an awesome yoga teacher. His expertise and knowledge of classical yoga surpasses all other yoga classes I have taken. In a few weeks of practicing yoga with Steve I have attained significant body strength, flexibility, and energy. I also feel more alive in spirit, body and mind. Steve is a great teacher who can help you progress on an accelerated path to fitness and wellness. He takes time during yoga class to give each of his students individual instruction on each asana pose which is very important.
Yoga is body, spirit, soul, beauty, grace and art all in one that Steve performs and teaches very well. Thank you Steve. I honor your light and path as a yoga teacher and friend." Marilyn D. 10/13/2009

"I have been attending yoga classes and receiving massages from Steve for a little over a month now, and I can tell a great deal of difference in how I feel. I sleep MUCH better - fall asleep immediately and back again should I wake up in the middle of the night. This was not my pattern previously. Also, my digestion is better and I have lots more energy. Steve discovered that I have a slight case of scoliosis in my back and is using both massage and yoga postures to correct it, along with helping me find exercise machines in the gym that can also be beneficial.

I can highly recommend Steve for both yoga and massage. He is highly trained, has had a lot of experience in these disciplines, and is very focused on doing the best possible job for all his clients."

"I have been taking Yoga from Steve Davis of Healing Light for over a year now. In that time, I have made amazing progress. Steve provides patient, individualized attention to a student's personal goals. Class is tailored to meet those needs. And it is never boring. New poses are introduced and there is a lot of variety in the warm-up.

Although I have participated in yoga classes on and off for several years and had many different teachers, I feel that Steve's class is responsible for my increased flexibility, strength, balance, and ability to maintain my peaceful frame of mind throughout a busy day.
I highly recommend Steve to any beginning or advanced student.

Yoga or Aerobic?
Steve at Matterhorn approach. Yes, climbed it.
Steve at Matterhorn approach
Here is a question I answered at one of the LinkedIn groups I belong to: Yoga and Meditation. It has around 3000 members from all over the world.
-----
Question: Yoga or Aerobic?

If I can afford to spare half an hour each day, should I go for Yoga or Aerobic and why?
---------------
My answer:

Yoga.

Higher awareness, thus higher intelligence. True vision. True hearing. True knowledge.

Generate love in your life, and to all those around you. Love is the generator of all life. Receiving love generates more. Giving and receiving love manifests ultimate power.

Find your true path in life, your purpose in coming here, and fulfill it.

Healing. For those around you, and for yourself.

Fitness in every sense of the word. Supreme wellness. A youthful appearance. Joy.

Power. Effortless power.

Increased energy. For you, and all those around you. Synergy.

Better sleep. Peace.

Long life. A life with purpose.

Transformation. For the world, for those around you, and for you.

I can write a book about why you should choose this option.

These are the highlights. All spontaneous, in the moment. Mahalo.

Namaste,
Steve

Highlights of Massage Therapy with Steve

MASSAGE!
Massage Therapy= Real Medicine = Great Results!

Relax with a great massage!
Read the testimonials from many grateful clients! Here is one I just received recently.

"Steve Davis is a real healer.

I have been seeing him for over three years, and he helps me a lot with my health problems.
I had frozen shoulders from my work, and he made my hands and shoulders start to move again freely, with no pain. I feel much better because he knows how to help people in my situation.

He uses special techniques, including hot stones and yoga, and everything together really relieved my muscle and joint pain.

I highly recommend Steve to anyone needing a massage therapist."
