Meet Steph, Founder and Lead Trainer
Steph Ball-Mitchell
E-RYT-500, RPYT, RCYT, YACEP, C-IAYT, LPC, CAADC
Steph has over 25 years of experience in yoga and movement. Her understanding of yoga and the human body has been shaped by a lifelong background in dance and holistic health, as well as her own healing journey. Through her teaching, Steph helps students experience the joy of integrating mind and body while cultivating an authentic, life-nurturing practice rooted in breath, awareness, and presence.
With her background as a Licensed Professional Counselor, Steph brings a grounded, compassionate approach to her classes with a strong emphasis on nervous system regulation, breath awareness, and embodied movement.
She completed her 200-hour with Maty Ezraty, her second 200-hour training with Nancy Candea at Yoga Impact in New Jersey and her 300-hour training with Chris Loebsack. The perpetual student, Steph has studied with Leslie Howard, Travis Eliot, Bryan Kest, Donna Farhi and countless others.

Lifted Lotus Online Yoga Teacher Training Reviews
See What Our Graduates Are Saying
200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
"I did a 200 hour training through a different school first and honestly it was really disappointing. I didn't feel ready to teach at all. A friend told me about Lifted Lotus so I signed up and I am so glad I did. The value is incredible. You get bonus certifications, the virtual yoga studio membership, and the community is just amazing. I learned more in the first few weeks here than I did in my entire other program. I actually feel like a real yoga teacher now."
Jessica
RYT-200 Graduate
300 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
"I'm a psychologist and I was looking for a yoga training where I could bring somatic movement and breathwork into my practice with clients. When I saw that Steph is a Licensed Professional Counselor I knew this was the right fit. The trauma informed module alone changed how I work with people. I honestly had no idea how much I didn't know about yoga until I got into this training. The depth is unreal. Everything from philosophy to anatomy to pranayama, it was all so thorough and well put together."
Priya
PsyD, RYT-500 Graduate
Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training
"I'm a doula and I have wanted to add prenatal yoga to what I offer my clients for years. This training made that happen. I learned so much about trimester specific adaptations and breathwork and I felt so prepared when I started teaching. I actually started offering classes at my local WIC office before I even finished the program and now I'm contracted with the county to teach prenatal yoga. My clients love it and I am so grateful for this program. It changed my whole career."
Tamara
Certified Doula, RPYT Graduate
Children's Yoga Teacher Training
"I have worked with children most of my life and I always wanted to share yoga with them. This training taught me everything I needed. What I love most is the sequencing and class planning because I've used it to theme whole class series for little ones and they just light up. I started a YouTube channel with kids yoga classes and the response has been wonderful. I'm 62 and this training showed me it is never too late to learn something new and pass it on to the children who need it."
