He has studied yoga with David Belz and Adam Ballenger both Anusara Certified instructors, since 2002. During this time, Mark has taken many training courses with specific focus on teacher training with Corena Hammer since 2009 . He has been teaching yoga at “Infusion ” since 2009 and offers both public and private yoga sessions. Mark started pursuing yoga in 1996 because of sports related injuries . Mark was drawn to Anusara Yoga in particular because of its uplifting and life affirming philosophy that looks for the good in everyone and focuses on a celebration of the heart ♥! Anusara is a wonderful community of highly trained teachers and fun loving students. “I have always loved sports (Hiking, biking, and riding,) but yoga was the missing piece that put it all together for me. It is truly a union of mind, body, and spirit. Yoga is not just a physical practice, but also a journey of self-discovery and reconnecting with our innate goodness. I teach because I have been so touched by the magic of yoga that I want to help others to reconnect with this wonderful energy that dances inside of all of us!
