True Power Yoga for Beginners
Mark Blanchard's True Power Yoga is an intense, upbeat, high-energy practice where poses flow smoothly into one another, targeting the entire body from head to toe. Its benefits are endless - lengthens and leans out muscles, increases metabolism, decreases stress, and enhances mental clarity and focus.
If you are a true beginner to Power Yoga is Mark for you?
Take it from some of his students:
"The first time I visited Mark's studio was the first time I tried yoga. I didn't feel incompetent, like a beginner because the hospitable ambiance embraces you the second you walk in the door. Mark is very articulate and very helpful throughout the workout. Did I mention sweat? I'm drenched within the first 10 minutes every time. I've had other instructors since my first time, and Mark is hands down, by far the best instructor with the best studio EVER!" — Angy
"Mark and Elizabeith Blanchard will challenge the most experienced yogis and will inspire the novices. If you are looking for a great way to tone-up quickly, this is the place to go. Not only will your body thank you for it, so will your mind. You wil leave class feeling energized yet oddly enough you'll feel as if you've just had a full body massage. Every instructor there is super nice and you wil learn from each one of them." — The Legal Diva on Citysearch
Have you done Power Yoga before but not Mark Blanchard's style?
Here is why Mark and Elizabeth are different...
"This is absolutely the best yoga you will find... Mark Blanchard is every definition of the word yoga - from head to toe, inside and out... His classes are amazing because they are different each time but not matter what, you will always get incredible instruction, encouragement and sweat! Mark draws on his lifetime of living and doing yoga and his classes are filled with power and love. Talking about power and love, his wife, Elizabeth, is just that: She is a powerful but loving teacher and provides amazing classes each time she steps into the studio. Both Mark and Elizabeth are undeniably the best yoga teachers... And even better is their sense of community. They have truly created a "family" or "kula" in their studio. All students, no matter what level, are supported and loved. The "no music" policy helps to create a really quiet and calm break from busy and hectic life. The "no walls" policy will get anyone into a handstand and boy is that incredible! How much more inspiring could a yoga class be? No matter what class you take, you can be sure to get the real deal!...You will be hooked, if you are not already, on Mark and Elizabeth in no time. I have been practicing at their studio since its opening about 10 years ago and I promise , there is nothing better." — omyogamama on Citysearch
"I have been practicing power yoga for 7 years. In 2003, I went to the LA convention Center where Mark taught a 90-minute Power Yoga session, and I was hooked. Not only is he an incredibly kind and motivating person, he is a very talented and challenging teacher. I LOVE his DVDs... They all are very challenging, calming, and strengthening. You will see a change if you practice, and integrate them into your weekly routines. He explains the postures thoroughly, and you will surprised at how much you sweat!! It's awesome! Thank you, Mark!" — Erinn Lynch
"...The energy in Mark's practice radiates. He guides his students through unrelenting, powerful flows which envigorate and melt stress away. His class helps me overcome the stress of my week." — Victor Andrade
"Because of my practicing yoga with Mark and Elizabeth (his wife), my body and mind are sharper than ever. As a busy attorney, I don't have time to do anything other than this yoga and everyone remarks on how rock solid I am. I highly recommend it to those people who want to roll up their sleeves and work for the bodies of their dreams." — Loredana Nesci
