"Mark is insightful, sensitive and meticulous. Since working with Mark I've never felt physically better or more centered. he's so gifted and a real pro, making sure each yoga pose is in perfect alignment rather than a mad rush to result. I recommend him highly for his humanity, caring focus, and -- yes, terrific sense of humor."

"As a nurse working with children with cancer, we face so much stress daily. Mark and the folks at Balance Work have been a blessing with their willingness to come to our off-site retreat for staff and provide yoga instruction and chair massage for everyone. These activities are exactly what we need to help us manage our stress and recharge our batteries. The staff members consistently rave about how wonderful they all are and how they can't wait to come back to the next retreat. These retreats would absolutely not be the same without our awesome yoga and massage! I would highly recommend them for any event! "

"Mark is an amazing, inspiring teacher. He doesn't just demonstrate the poses, he articulates exactly how each pose can be best performed... He is also very understanding of his students' limitations and will work with each one so they can get the most out of their practice. His calm soothing manner puts you in a completely relaxed frame of mind. His class is a wonderful respite from the stresses of the workday."  "

"I had taken a few (yoga) classes in the past from other teachers and found that the moves strained my back. Much to my surprise, my back pain lessened almost immediately after I began Mark's well-paced classes. I have found these classes more helpful than physical therapy. Mark's expertise, gentle spirit, and ability to adjust the poses based on individual needs and conditions have made me look forward to every class, and to the benefits that they continue to bring me."
