Where Am I Coming From?... My Mother - Mark Whitwell
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.

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 yogaYOU ARE HERE NOWThis 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
