Marc St. Pierre

Marc believes that the best part about teaching yoga is that it constantly invites him to understand more, "More about the people I teach, the world around me, and how those interactions can support my becoming a more wise, compassionate and overall better human. The success rate seems to have improved....with practice.”

With over 20 years of experience teaching and practicing, Marc says he has had a little time to refine things as a teacher and human and always does his best to serve his students with skill, empathy, and thoughtfulness. And, while it’s not always easily administered, some truth too. He says "this experiment mostly succeeds. Awareness is the key factor. Kindness is the application."

Japan, Australia, Europe, South & Central America, are places where he's been invited to teach. He says he never would he have guessed this, "I’ve taught in these locations as well as lead retreats. Yoga (both practice and the teaching), has been and continues to be a great gift. I don’t know who sent it, but I sure am grateful. Yes, thank you, and more please!"

Marc says that meditating was how he began and that he was “called” to yoga asana when he started levitating one day during his meditation, "A friend had to tie a rock around me so I wouldn’t bang my head in the ceiling. I learned after that this is often why the Shaivites have large crops of hair towering above their skull- the “hairdo” forms a type of “meditation helmet.” Although my predecessors had to worry about the stony cave tops, where I merely have the danger of dry-wall. Yoga has to be potent, fun, and real." 

Marc was Certified Anusara ® teacher for many years, known internationally and had the good fortune to establish Anusara ® on the fantastical island of Maui, where he lived for eight years. On this foundation, Marc now develops his personal style of Yoga and loves to share his personal experience and knowledge with his students. He now travels and teaches across the globe and cannot believe this is his “job”! Clearly, and with enormous gratitude for the Yoga community, Marc celebrates teaching yoga as his vocation and service.
