After attending several of Mark Stephens' yoga classes, it was apparent to me that Mark was a deep reservoir of yoga asana knowledge. As a teacher, I wanted to gain deeper insight into the asanas and I signed up for his YTT in the summer of 2009. To my pleasant surprise, not only did Mark share with abandon his wealth of asana knowledge, we also dug deeply in other important teaching topics from hands-on adjustments, the importance of sequencing , understanding anatomy, and even to yoga philosophy.
Mark inspired me as both a teacher and student to re-evaluate the intention of the practice. As a result, I could see my teaching refine and as a by-product, my own practice began to tune into the more subtle aspects of the asana and breath. The experience from Mark's YTT was and continues to be one of the cornerstones of my teaching practice.
