Marc St. Pierre

Marc trained in Los Angeles at City Yoga and was the first teacher to come out of there before there even was a formal teacher training program. "I had been really asking for a strong sign about what direction to take my life in. It happened in meditation, the Universe spoke (actually it kind of yelled at me!) and so I was led to City Yoga where I trained in exchange for working the studio. It was a GREAT GIFT, a gift that uplifted my life. I am forever greatful to Anthony Benanati and Sue Elkind for their gracious support." Marc began teaching at City Yoga and then joined staffs at The Center for Yoga at Larchmont, and brought Anusara Yoga to the Hollywood YMCA. Marc has studied extensively with John Friend. He is a senior teacher of Anusara Yoga. Marc has also enjoyed his study of Anusara Yoga with Desiree Rumbaugh, Naime Jezzeny and Mitchel Blier. Marc was an avitar in his last life. In this life he is joyed to live on Maui and teach yoga!
