Mark Stephens' Yoga teacher training program is a very special offering – a gem created by the alchemy of years of dedication to the complete yogic path. 

In essence Mark gives students a loom, a basic pattern and possibilities to weave their own teaching style.  

An excellent foundation of yoga’s history, philosophy and science form the loom. Then Mark weaves in the primary threads of the yogic path; asana styles, pranayama, and meditation. These threads are enhanced with ones vital to teaching such as anatomy, planning and sequencing as well as the often overlooked subtleties of space and voice. He also addresses contemporary yoga arenas like prenatal classes and teaching underserved communities.  Every thread is coated with integrity,  authenticity, safety and sustainability. The end result is a nuanced illustration of the complex yet subtle fabric that is the art of teaching yoga. 

In deftly passing on his artists skills Mark ensures his students leave not only confident but competent to create their own beautiful teaching tapestries and help their students create their personal yoga art. 

I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to study under Mark and receive such gifts.
