I want thank you again for the beautiful class today. The honor and insight you bring to class makes it easier to accept the change and transition more gracefully. I also want to thank you for being my instructor for the past two years and introducing me to Anusara practice. I sincerely appreciate your high-level of instruction, technical knowledge, and obvious in-depth preparation that you consistently bring to class. We're all very impressed. And this does not even begin to describe the uplifting and relevant heart teachings you incorporate and weave into your classes, which challenge, inspire, and guide us to grow. I can't imagine anything else what would get me up so early on a mid-winter morning. I wish you many, many great and beautiful trails in the future.

Mark is an amazing yoga teacher; Practicing with him has been a rich and transformational experience for me. He is so passionate and his energy is contagious. He strives to make each class a growing experience --physically, mentally, and spiritually. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student wanting to deepen your practice, he will challenge you to open your mind, your heart, and your body through the asana practice.

I take Mark's classes and workshops at every opportunity because I am so challenged, motivated and inspired by the true teacher I find in him. Mark's devotion means that he puts 100 per cent of his tremendous energy into teaching yoga. I especially like the disciplined way Mark takes control of the class environment while gently reminding us to notice what are bodies are saying. My date and I recently enjoyed a most intimate afternoon in his Valentine's partner yoga workshop! Mark really brought our energy together!! I am fortunate to be a regular student of Mark's.

Just to thank you for another great workshop! I always enjoy your classes because I learn proper alignment techniques which allow me to get deeper into the poses without any undue stress on the body. At this point in my life, I do not want or need any unnecessary injuries - especially if it affects my yoga practice!
Looking forward to your next workshop.
Namaste,

Your instructions yesterday during the noonday class at Gold's Gym brought true delight for me to live in my body. I awoke this morning with renewed vigor and flexibility. The reference points you used in class (push your feet to the floor, raise your little toe, heart to the mirror) gave immediate reinforcement that I could do yoga by just following these instructions. It was my best class ever!!
My heart is evermore open to those around me and I'm confident I can find even more joy.
Thanks for sharing the miracle.

Yoga practice is often times a complicated journey. Anathema to practicing yoga is finding the right teacher who can work with you to suit your body and mind's needs. Mark Shveima is a extraordinary find in the world of yoga. He has inspired me to go deeper within my own body and consciousness and explore my deeper true nature. I have gained increased mental and physical balance, focus, endurance and strength due in large part to Mark's teachings and guidance. His style emphasizes strength and alignment while keeping the mind in check and exploring deeper principles of yoga practice. I have taken many classes and a workshop with mark consistently for several months now, and I look forward to each and every class to increase my knowledge of yoga. My relationships with myself, my body and mind and others have all benefited from Mark's teachings. Mark is highly recommend for anybody looking to further their yoga practice, explore their bodies through alignment and energy flow, and gain greater knowledge of themselves.

Mark is an excellent teacher. His teaching helps students improve their practice, challenge themselves, and do it all with a smile. Mark listens to students and offers suggestions, makes adjustments, and provides options to suit each student's ability.
