Steve Krojniewski, a lifelong South Bend, Indiana, resident and founder of True Balance Yoga, has introduced yoga to many of the athletic teams at the University of Notre Dame. During his time at Notre Dame, Steve has demonstrated that yoga is a valuable tool for college athletes to better their performance on and off the field.
As a longtime fan and friend of Notre Dame and an athlete himself, Steve saw the endless possibilities of his training and skill for college players. He approached Notre Dame Basketball coach Mike Brey to add yoga to the players’ off-season conditioning regimen. Coach Brey was enthusiastic about the idea, and an incredible training relationship soon developed.

Word quickly spread through the Notre Dame Athletic Department about Steve’s incredible yoga instruction. He is currently working extensively with the Women’s Swimming team and has been included in training trips and road trips to prepare them for meets. He also has worked with the Women’s Lacrosse, Women's Soccer, Women's Golf, Men’s Lacrosse, Men’s Baseball, Softball, Cheerleading squad, and football members, cross country/track, tennis, and volleyball teams.
Steve began practicing yoga in 1999. Over the past sixteen years, it has remained a vital part of his daily routine. In 2004, Steve became a certified Kripalu Yoga instructor. He was also certified by the Institute of Yoga Sports Science, Yoga for Athletes from the Sage Rountree school, and Sadie Nardini's Core Yoga and Anatomy Flow. Additionally, he is a member of the Holistic Wellness Academy and the Yoga Alliance. Steve is also a prAna ambassador, a prAna-sponsored athlete, and has taught clinics nationally and internationally. Some of his published work can be viewed on Inside Lacrosse, SwimSwam, Swimming World, and Softball.
