Influences
Yoga is your direct participation
absorption in the given wonder
the extreme intelligence of life
that is of course in every person
every creature
you can do this
it's not a search
it's not to use the mind
it's not to use the body to try to get somewhere
as if you are not "Somewhere"
as if you are not the full blown wonder of life
dependant on a vast process
for your own existence
so there is a right yoga for you
you learn to do that yoga
and then you too can enjoy this direct absorption
participation in the nurturing force that is life already given to you
you are completely loved
completely loved
you are completely cared for
everybody is completely loved
completely cared for
even if the social conditions are suggesting otherwise
even if your mind doesn't recognize it
by doing your yoga practice on a daily basis
actually and naturally
not obsessively
you too can enjoy this direct absorption
in the wonder that is this life
in all conditions of life including the unseen source
which is responsible for all this appearance here
please enjoy your yoga
YOU ARE HERE NOW
This is a simple argument. It is easier than easy. So simple, we seldom speak of it and do not grasp it. But once seen, it is obvious and we feel the stark reality of our life, unmediated by the mind of doubt.
The idea of human imperfection that is deeply ingrained in the social mind, in old scientific and religious thinking blinds us to the perfection that is already in us, as us, as Life itself, as Nature "her"self.
We are not separate; we cannot be separate from Nature, which sustains us in a vast interdependence with everything.
The universe comes perfectly and is awesome in its integration and infinite existence. It is our natural state.
Our mission and passion is too provide the spiritual and healing powers of yoga to all who recognize the ancient wisdom and the wisdom of your own body and mind.
Mark's Hridaya Yoga Sutra describes the spirit of Yoga of Heart: the Healing Power of Intimate Connection
Mark is interested in developing an authentic yoga practice for the individual, based on the teachings of T. Krishnamacharya and his son TKV Desikachar, with whom he enjoyed a relationship for more than twenty years. Mark's teachings clarify the profound passion and relevance of ancient wisdom to contemporary life.
Mark has taught yoga for over twenty years throughout the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Mark was the editor and contributor to TKV Desikachar's book, The Heart of Yoga as well as the author of Yoga of Heart and Hridayasutra.

hi mark! just wanted you to know that i haven't stopped thinking about our conversation in nyc and have shared your thoughts (and my own) with my closest friends. thank you for the class, conversation, and for helping me reconnect with juliana!
mark i really appreciate all of your online representation- the video, the mp3 talks, your website. it really helps me to feel connected with you and your teachings and to share them with others. deep thanks for all that you do to put the sun in the middle!
Dear Mark, just wanted to say hi, and wish you well. I briefly borrowed Deskachar's book from Julie and enjoyed reading your input. A lovely book ,which I will buy, along with yours, very soon. Lots of smiles, Natalie :)
I was browsing your website for your '07 schedule and see that you will be in Maui for a bit of time in April. The beauty of that part of your schedule is that I will be there at that same point in time. Since I will be staying on the NW side of the island I will have to plan in order to partake. I'll bring a few yogini's with me since you are offering alternatives to actively participate along side of you. See you in Haiku! Until then... :-)
