Bio

Mark is an Iyengar Certified yoga instructor, a pursuit that requires a minimum of four years of intense study toward certification. Having now taught for more than ten years, his deep interest in the subject ultimately led Mark to travel to India to further his expertise at the distinguished Iyengar Institute.

Interacting with students and enabling the inherent healing aspects is what Mark likes most about teaching yoga. It provides an opportunity to help people discover something within themselves.

Other noteworthy yogis that have inspired and shaped my practice and teaching of yoga include Eric Schiffman, Rodney Yee, Sean Corn, D.K.V. Desikachar, Gary Kraftsow, and Miguel Casas.
