"Marcus designed a yoga practice for me which not only took into account my long term back problem but was also refined to reflect my changing abilities and goals. With his unique background in osteopathy as well as yoga, I was confident that whatever Marcus asked me to do was within my capabilities. My improvement has been excellent."
B Marsh, Musician, Surbiton
