About Mark Blanchard
One of the defining roles of Mark Blanchard's life is that of an athlete. While playing semi-pro baseball and college football in New York, Mark suffered through several major knee operations and shoulder injuries. Urged by his orthopedic surgeon to attend a yoga class to rehab his body, he was utterly hooked from his first session in New York. "I watched this lean little yogi bend into powerful poses while maintaining the most serene expression," says Blanchard. "I was intrigued, excited."

Mark has has continued to practice yoga every day of his life since then. While pursuing his love of this ancient art of yoga, Blanchard also began modeling and acting on soap operas, including All My Children and Guiding Light. He moved to Southern California to film a dozen movies and television roles, and even began teaching informal yoga sessions on movie sets. Finally, after being a serious student of yoga for 20 years, Mark began teaching full-time in 1993.

Mark has trained many of Hollywood’s as well as golfers, basketball players and other professional athletes since he keenly understands yoga's healing powers. "The internal practice improves mental focus, clarity and split-second concentration while the outward physical practice hones strength, speedwork and reaction-time," he says. A leader of the Power Yoga movement, Mark Blanchard has his Studio City location in Southern California.
