ABOUT STEPH
Steph Armijo
Founder, Yoga 42
Steph Armijo is the founder of Yoga 42.
Before teaching yoga professionally, Steph spent years working inside Major League Baseball organizations. That experience shaped the way she approaches movement, preparation, and performance today.
Experience Inside Professional Sports
Steph's professional sports career began with the San Francisco Giants, Arizona Fall League, and MLB.com, where she held roles in sports media, communications, and baseball statistics.
Over the past decade, Steph has delivered programming throughout the New York Mets organization, working with players, field staff, employees, and leadership over a five-year period. Her work included yoga, mobility, breathwork, and mindfulness throughout the demands of a professional baseball season.
She also created and led Mets Yoga Day, helping establish one of the first large-scale yoga events of its kind for a New York professional sports franchise.
Steph has also worked with the Brooklyn Nets and was selected by Major League Baseball to provide programming during MLB All-Star Week. Her experience spans professional clubhouses, training facilities, employee wellness programs, and special events across professional, collegiate, and corporate settings.
Beyond Professional Sports
Beyond professional sports, Steph has developed and led programs for the Jackie Robinson Foundation, DREAM Charter School, Harlem RBI, collegiate athletics, youth sports organizations, and corporate clients including Nike WHQ, New Balance, Estée Lauder, and Anheuser-Busch.
The Yoga 42 Approach
The Yoga 42 approach is designed to complement the work already happening within a performance environment.
Sessions may incorporate yoga, guided mobility, breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, and Pilates-based strength. The goal is to give athletes practical tools they can carry into training, competition, travel, and everyday life.
Every athlete and every organization is different. The work begins by understanding what's already in place, then building from there.
Why 42
Yoga 42 is named in honor of Jackie Robinson, whose number 42 remains one of the most recognizable symbols in sports.
Beyond his historic impact on baseball, Robinson embodied courage, resilience, preparation, and the ability to perform under extraordinary pressure. Those qualities continue to inspire the way Steph approaches her work with athletes, teams, and organizations.
The name serves as a reminder that performance isn't only physical. It is also shaped by character, mindset, and the ability to navigate challenges with composure and purpose.
