Yoga is an invitation to a better life. We are a community through this practice. We are here to grow our hearts, our bones, our capacity for love and wisdom. We align ourselves in truth, and this allows a sense of peace to become available for everyone around us..

 

 

While teaching a few weeks ago, the teens chose to do "dance circle' as one of the activities for class. I witnessed for 15 minutes a group of teens expressing themselves freely after I set the example. We were stomping on the floor, moving our bodies, and making sounds. We all had a lot of fun while experiencing feelings of power and freedom. I felt grateful to witness that.

Street Yoga Teacher Training Feedback:

 

Dear Mark:

This is Laura E., I attended your training in NYC.  I am from upstate New York in Rochester.  I wanted to share with you a glimpse of success I had this evening. I offered my first yoga session for a group of girls at a local residential facility tonight.  The atmosphere was very similar to the one that we created in our training and it actually felt really comfortable to me because I felt like it was exactly what I was anticipating (thanks to your training).  There were varying levels of interest among the whole group as they gathered in, but I successfully taught them sun salutation A by breaking it up into two sections and putting it all together.  All 10 girls were doing it together followed by a fun balance of tree pose.  It was really exciting to watch.  

 

I will also be volunteering to another group of young women in a homeless shelter, I met with them last week.  Thank you so much again for everything that you offered us in the training...I would have never felt as prepared if I didn't go through it!

 

All my best,

Laura
