Mark Blanchard

Mark Blanchard is one of the most recognized and renowned yoga masters in the world. With over 25 years of experience with this ancient practice, Mark is popular with Hollywood's top celebrities, professional athletes, and high ranking business professionals.

Mark first discovered yoga at the request of his orthopedic surgeon, after suffering several knee and shoulder injuries. Yoga, his doctor said, would help his body rehabilitate from the damages caused by sports injuries. He was literally hooked after the first downward dog at Norman Allen's studio in Manhattan. "I watched this lean little yogi bend into powerful poses while maintaining the most serene expression," says Mark. "I was intrigued, excited." He has continued to practice yoga every day of his life since then.

Mark currently operates out of his studio in Los Angeles, and is dedicated to teaching his students how yoga can help decrease stress, increase longevity, cultivate calmness and create harmony, strength and balance in your life. His celebrity clients have included Jennifer Lopez, Drew Barrymore, Rachel Griffiths, Lucy Lui, Andy Garcia, Jennie Garth, Lisa Rinna, and Willem Dafoe.
