Review from Lauryn C.

One of the things I miss most about living in LA- Mark's yoga class!
After my first yoga class with Mark at Gold's gym, I was hooked on his style. His presentation of the yoga postures is not too fluffy yet very relaxing. He provides just enough instruction and encouragement during the class to keep you motivated and making progress in your own practice.
Although I moved from LA before getting the chance to see Mark's new studio, I encourage you to try it out (from the photos of the place, it looks fantastic). With Mark's expertise and down to earth personality, you are guaranteed a fantastic yoga experience. -

I have taken instruction with Mark in a group setting several times as a total beginner with a friend who has taken yoga for years. He is kind, patient, and is helpful. He provides just enough personal gentle guidance during a session without making me feel uncoordinated or self conscious.
After attending occasional yoga classes with friends at Gold's Gym and other places, I would have to say that Mark is definitely my favorite teacher by far and I have physically felt the best after taking his classes. He is highly recommended! -

Mark is my all-time favorite LA yoga instructor. I combed central LA looking for a truly great teacher (ie. one worth paying LA yoga prices for), and Mark was the only one that fit the bill for me. He is incredibly knowledgeable about physiology, and instructs students on the proper form for each and every pose. I would highly recommend him to both beginners and advanced students; as he is a highly individual-focused instructor you will never feel lost, even in a large class. I've since moved out of LA, but I still employ all that he taught me about form in my private practice and with other (less competent) yoga instructors.
I also strongly agree with Janet's statement about Mark's gift for balancing precision and mind/body awareness: "All this transpires with a gentleness and good humor that make every practice a special occasion." -

Mark has been both my private yoga teacher as well as my group teacher. He has helped me with numerous annoying injuries, and taught me how to work with yoga so that yoga works for me. I have learned more about yoga poses from him than any other teacher I have had in the 10 years I've been taking yoga. Because of Mark I breath a little deeper and walk a little taller with better posture every day.

Mark is a fabulous yoga instructor. He manages to be both detail-oriented--making sure that each pose is perfectly explained--and aware of mind and spirit. All this transpires with a gentleness and good humor that make every practice a special occasion. Thanks, Mark!

I have been a client of Balance Work for two years and it has been extraordinary. I have back problems and through massage and yoga, Mark has been able to radically change my day to day health and posture, as well as getting me into much better shape and flexibility. He is reliable, honorable, prompt, NEVER CANCELS, a pleasure to deal with. Each individual client gets a very specific program created for him/her. Truly a lovely guy and great teacher/trainer/yogi/masseuse.
