Mark was first drawn to yoga as a way of bringing balance to a busy career as a creative director. He soon discovered that it was transforming his mind as well as his body.

That combination of mindfulness and movement drew Mark deeper into the practice, studying Vinyasa Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, and Yin Yoga, along with the philosophy and anatomy that inform these practices. Mark completed his 200-hour teacher training at Wake Up Yoga in Philadelphia, and his 500-hour training through the Himalayan Institute in Honesdale, PA.

As a life-long artist and outdoors enthusiast, Mark hopes to spark the creative process within his students. His classes unite breath with movement in a dynamic blend of physical challenge, inner focus, and real-life philosophy. Mark has operated the Yoga Garden outside Philadelphia since 2010 and enjoys spending time outdoors, staying active, and pursuing creative endeavors of all sorts.
