Mark has been teaching yoga since 1995 and is recognized as one of the first Astanga yoga teachers to settle and teach regular classes in the UK.

After personally assisting the inspirational Derek Ireland on a daily basis for over a year Mark was given his blessing to teach this exciting and dynamic form of Hatha yoga. In addition to his initial training Mark used the last 14 years to study with some of the worlds most renowned gurus and teachers of yoga in all its many shapes and forms including asana pranayama and meditation.
During this time his approach to the practice and teaching of Astanga has evolved and in many respects softened in order to allow his students to experience the true essence of the practice which for Mark is 'a meditation in movement'.

Mark spent 12 years as senior teacher at the prestigious LifeCentre in west London . He has held many retreats in the UK, Europe and India and many workshops and teacher training courses over the years. He is the author of the popular book "Yoga for Beginners" an efficient introduction to Astanga yoga.

At the moment Mark is enjoying a years sabbatical which he has chosen to spend living and travelling around India seeking fresh inspiration.

'Astanga will always remain my passion as a hatha yoga practice and a path of meditation. I am now also beginning to explore other techniques to achieve higher states of consciousness'.
