Marcus discovered yoga in 1995 at the local YMCA and quickly found it comforting as a new resident navigating life in the bustle of New York City. After exploring various yoga styles, he combined his expertise as a NYS Licensed Massage Therapist with yoga teachings, earning 500-hour certifications from Laughing Lotus and Prajna Yoga teaching schools. Inherently driven by movement, Marcus integrates lively asana sequences, mindfulness of breath, and humor into his classes to inspire joy in the practice. As a Health Coach in Brooklyn, he co-created ‘Body Lab’, a yoga therapy workshop aiding patients with musculoskeletal and mental health issues. Marcus teaches locally and globally, including retreats in New York, Vermont, India, Italy, and Turkey, and contributes to yoga teacher training programs at various studios. He is a lifelong learner and observer whose life philosophy resonates with Gandhi’s famous words: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”
