Donation In Memory of Steven Espinosa

Stephen Espinosa

Steven Espinosa is a former professional dancer who has performed in theatre, films and music videos for artists such as Prince, Sheila E., and Weird Al Yankovic. The highlight of his 15 year career came when he toured with the legendary Sammy Davis Jr. from 1987-1990.

Following his dance career, Steven discovered yoga and began teaching in 2000. He has led numerous workshops, retreats and teacher trainings. In 2004, Steven taught in Berlin, Germany and in 2010 helped start up YogaGlo, a successful online yoga company in Los Angeles. He is highly regarded in the LA yoga community as “a tower, an icon, a quiet force who inspired so many.”

Steven’s highest hope was to inspire and empower students to remember that the true teacher lives within their own heart.

Steven is also a produced playwright, an award winning filmmaker and creator of a hit vaudeville show, The Tony Martini Variety Hour, which ran in Los Angeles for two years. In 2020, he sold his first film script to a major television network.

Let’s not forget his love for animals. His first adopted dog, Uma, was the light of his life. Her passing affected Steven deeply. He would say that his greatest wish was that our fur babies live as long as we do. He eventually recognized that he had love to offer another dog and was introduced through a friend, to his new love SuzieQ.

He wanted everyone to know the joy of being a pet parent and asked to have his legacy include supporting the amazing work of The Lange Foundation.
