The Heart of Yoga was founded by Mark Whitwell to communicate
the yoga brought forth by Krishnamacharya, the teacher of the
teachers. It is the breath centered yoga adapted to individual needs
and is the missing link to all the yoga styles that derived from him.
Urban Family and Heart of Yoga have partnered
to offer a powerful yoga teacher training.
The mission of Heart of Yoga is to address human
suffering in a most fundamental way by offering
a practical means for all people to be and feel
connected to life. Through this training, teachers
pass on a unique gift to their community. The
teaching includes the precise adaptation of yoga
to individual needs, health, age and cultural
background, while building caring and healing
communities.The goal of Urban Family with Heart of Yoga
is to create global and local collaborative
community. We provide holistic life skills needed to thrive in challenging urban environments.
We strive to give a relevant yoga education to all socio-economic and diverse cultural backgrounds,
especially to offer training for communities where it is not currently available.“Breath is central to Yoga
because breath is central to
life, and Yoga is about life.”
- Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, 1888-1989
