With just a moment's reflection we can see there's never been a better or more important time for more yoga than right now. It's happening, and I want to do all I can help ensure it happens in the best possible ways.
My passion for yoga is equal to my passion for making the world a better place for all. This starts with daily practice, self-study, ongoing learning, and sharing yoga with others through classes, workshops, teacher training, and media such as books and videos. In all I strive for excellence, relevance, accessibility, and meaningful engagement.
This website provides information on all I offer and includes a variety of free resources for yoga teachers and students (including an extensive video library and blog).
Please explore!
With Gratitude,
Mark
