Join Marcus Veda on Friday 24 June at 1.30m for a 45 minute class in Old Street Station, as part of a week long yoga and wellbeing pop up from Good Yoga Life. The perfect pit stop to stretch out and add some calm to the end of the working week.

Marcus’ teaching embraces the joyful rebel spirit of The Rocket, grounding on the mat, flying off it, always experimenting. Breath and bandhas fire the agni in the practice, but above all, it’s a moving meditation.

You can find Marcus teaching at some of London's top yoga studios includingYotopia, Yogarise,Indaba, The Light Centre Belgravia,The Power Yoga Co and Triyoga Camden.

Marcus’ took the road less-travelled to yoga. Fresh out of Uni, he used his degree in philosophy to justify spending his 20s touring the world as an international DJ, wholeheartedly committing to the hedonistic life. All professional jumping around was put pay to by a bad football tackle and compounded by some ill-fated onstage “breakdance” choices, that led to finally taking a (guru) friend’s advice in trying yoga to get fixed. A need to properly heal the body coincided with a sneaking desire for change in the mind that landed Marcus on the mat… Trying every style of class he could get to on every studio intro-offer in London, he finally landed on dynamic vinyasa and more specifically, the Ashtanga-inspired Rocket system, which satisfied his undying urge to fly. Completing his first 200hrs teacher training with the Yoga People in Goa he went on to further train in advanced progressive ashtanga and Yin Yoga, deepening his appreciation of what yoga can be beyond the asanas that drew him in. He is also part of the Dead Yogis Society, a movement to wipe the gloss off the lips of yoga and return to the breath, sweat and rawness of the practice… Letting (e)go.
