Mark Horner has been teaching Hatha Yoga for 18 years throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. His primary guide is Zhander Remete, the founder of Shadow Yoga, with whom he has studied continuously since 1992.

In 1997, Mark founded Moksha Yoga Shala in Walnut Creek, California, where he leads teacher training courses, and a comprehensive program in Shadow Yoga. In addition, Mark leads frequent retreats and workshops in northern California, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, and Mexico.

Mark's teaching is enhanced by 8 years experience as a Certified Rolfer, many years of classical piano study, rock climbing, and the study of Ayurveda and the Taoist Internal Arts. Another major influence is the philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, as transmitted by the great Indian sage Nisargadatta Maharaj.

Mark’s focus is on imparting an in-depth understanding of practice, based on the methods and wisdom of the classical Hatha Yogic and philosophical texts. For Mark, the practice of yoga is a means to awaken the light of discriminative awareness, leading to a better quality of life, and the possibility of ultimate freedom.
