Mark has been practicing a fluid, energized mix of vinyasa and ashtanga yoga for nearly 10 years. He's been blessed to study with a wonderful variety of powerful, funny and generous teachers, most notably Bea 'Pretzel' France, the extraordinary Rusty Wells, and the radiant Janet Stone. His classes are an athletic, challenging blend of focused breath and strength-building movement designed to invigorate the body, soothe the frenzied urban mind and bring you more fully into the present moment, all while helping you discover (or better yet, remember) a deeper, more profound notion of Self, one that will doubtlessly enjoy more of your divinely personal attention.

"This is why you are here. This is what it's all about. To reunite opposing yet deliciously co-dependent energies: yin/yang, Earth/sky, body/spirit, movement/stillness, jazz/rock. Where else can you find serenity amidst chaos, stillness amidst sweat, effortlessness deep inside hard work? Yoga hasn't been around for thousands of years for nothing. It's a little-known fact that Jesus practiced yoga–he just didn't tell anyone. How do you think he was able to walk on water?

Bring a towel. Leave your baggage. Peel off your stress, your expectations, your self-imposed limitations. Come for the sweat, stay for the stillness. It's so good you'll forget you're actually dancing with gravity."
