Eight years ago Mark discovered the amazing art of yoga. In 2003 his yogic studies culminated in the discovery of Anusara Yoga.

Cindy Myatt |
|
I fell in love with yoga from my first class in Reno about 6 years ago and have actively persued it ever since. My training has been in the Anusara style from reknowned instructors in the Berkeley and L.A. areas over the last 3 years: namely, Noah Maze and Sianna Sherman as well as Nikki Doane and Eddie Modestini. I also draw upon my experience from Bikram, Iyengar and Ashtanga immersions that I have experienced over the course of my practice. I have been teaching yoga classes at Tahoe and Yoga Wellness Center since 2008. What I like to bring to my students is a solid foundation that they can use in any style of practice, along with a recognizable theme that they can meditate on to add joy and wisdom to their lives.
