Mark Whitwell is a master Yoga teacher and has taught yoga for over three decades internationally and is the editor and contributor to TKV Desikachar's book The Heart of Yoga. Mark is interested in developing an authentic yoga practice for the individual, based on the teachings of T. Krishnamacharya and his son TKV Desikachar, with whom he enjoyed a relationship for more than twenty years. Mark’s teachings clarify the profound passion and relevance of ancient wisdom to contemporary life.Mark teaches Ha-Tha Yoga, which against common understanding means all physical forms of Yoga practice, not a specific "style". Hatha means the merging of the sun and moon, the male and female, prana and apana (two energies), and is a purificating and re-balancing practice where breath and body movement are one. The practice includes Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathing exercises which move, activate and increase Prana, vital energy), Bandha (energy locks), Meditation, Relaxation and Chanting.He is the author of 6 profound books including his latest book 'God and Sex: Now We Get Both.' Join us as we discuss this book among other things. I truly feel that this book is a vital piece to assist humanity in awakening to a more harmonious balance. I highly encourage you get a copy for yourself and dive into the wisdom.This is the second time Mark has been on the podcast.
