Going back to the time of the Buddha, yoga practitioners have been divided into two groups: Experimentalists who know yoga through their bodies and Speculatives who know yoga through philosophical teachings. Mark Stephens' Yoga Therapy is proof that he has mastered both paths.

Yoga therapist, Ph.D., E-RYT-500
Mark Stephens is a walking and breathing encyclopedia of yoga, as evidenced by the library of texts on various aspects of teaching yoga he has written and the quality of his trainings. His teaching style and the rigor of his programs sets his offerings apart from others, as does the amount of experience he has training yoga teachers. I have seen firsthand the depth his other trainees bring to their teaching at my own studio.
Kate Harding
Owner, Sacred Mountain Yoga, E-RYT-500
I feel honored to have been able to study with Mark Stephens – the man who literally wrote the book on teaching yoga. This is a comprehensive program, and Mark takes the responsibility seriously of turning out knowledgable, capable yoga teachers. It's a lot of work, and I believe as a result, I am a much better teacher than I was ten months ago. I highly recommend Mark's programs.
Haramara RetreatÂ
December 19-26, 2026 – 7 nights
Join me for seven days of yoga, exploration, and relaxation at Haramara, a remarkable retreat center nestled in the tropical forests above Mexico's Pacific coast.
With its beautiful open-air yoga pavilions, ocean views, and peaceful natural surroundings, Haramara offers an extraordinary setting to deepen your practice, enjoy good company, and take time for yourself. We'll gather during the Winter Solstice, a wonderful occasion to reflect on the passing year and welcome the one ahead.
Our days will offer a rich variety of practices, with opportunities to explore yoga more deeply while enjoying the freedom of an unhurried retreat. Whether you're looking for inspiration in your practice, a chance to reconnect with yourself, or simply a beautiful place to unwind, there's room to make the week your own.
Early Morning Pranayama & Meditation
Energizing Morning Yoga
Midday Workshops & Explorations
Late Afternoon Yin & Restorative Yoga
Evening Conversations on Yoga & Life
Between practices, enjoy delicious organic meals, wander through the tropical landscape, venture out for an excursion, relax by the pool, or head down to the beach. There's plenty of time for solitude, conversation, adventure, and the simple pleasure of doing absolutely nothing.
