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.

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.
