the Duo Team
~ the union of male and female facilitators ~
Hi I’m Mason Steele
My journey is an authentically organic flow rooted in a lifelong passion for movement and deep self-study. Starting with a background in competitive sports and earning a degree in Business Administration, my path quickly expanded beyond the gym when I discovered Yoga and realised the limitations of single-discipline training. This search for deeper, holistic alignment led me to the advanced methodologies of Paul Chek, shifting my focus from simply physical fitness to helping clients achieve the health and clarity needed to follow their dreams. My pursuit of grounded knowledge is evidenced by my certifications as a Massage Therapist, Personal Trainer, Holistic wellness coach and 700-hour Experienced Yoga Teacher across multiple, diverse lineages like Kundalini, Hatha, Vinyasa & Ashtanga.
I’m a global practitioner who ensures the teachings I share are both profound and highly practical. My continuous education has taken me from studying Tantra and Taoism in Thailand, Yoga in India to working as a Physical Therapy Aide, integrating the best of corrective exercise and passive bodywork therapies. This commitment to marrying ancient wisdom with modern science—and a personal understanding of the challenges of finding balance in a fast-paced world—allows me to offer unique, multi-disciplinary expertise. I specialise in playfully guiding students to find clarity, strength, and alignment that supports their purpose, bringing the grounded, balanced energy of the masculine to every Duo experience.
