What can I let go of that no longer serves me? Mark answered that question by letting go of his addiction to alcohol, and his road to recovery took a positive turn when he first placed his mat down in the Be Love Tulsa studio in fall of ‘17. As his practice grew, so did his commitment to living a life of sobriety. One aspect that really helped him during this time was being introduced to Raven Yoga by Nicole Peltier. The support of his loving spouse & children led him to Everyone Yoga School Teacher Training, facilitated by Mandy Eubanks & Melissa Smith, and he completed his 200hr yoga teacher certification in March, 2020. Mark also completed the Earth Element- Trauma Infored Yoga Therapy Training in October, 2020. Mark has discovered a mindfulness & meditation practice, thanks to his teacher & mentor Dr. Steve Hoppes, which he includes in his daily ritual. The power & calming effect of the breath is not lost in Mark’s asana practice, but rather fully embraced. One quote you’ll hear him say in class is that “It’s a yoga practice...not yoga perfect”! Expect to settle in, clear your mind space, become present & breathe in Mark’s class. You will find him teaching soft & restorative and medium level classes, and he may even incorporate traditional Native American music & song being he was raised in a very traditional Cherokee upbringing. When Mark is the student, you’ll find him taking some power classes & also enjoying hot yoga! Mark is grateful for his Be Love family, some who have been right there supporting him on his Recovery journey. He is also very grateful for all the yoga teachers who have influenced & shaped him into the person he is today. He invites you into his class, where you will be greeted & welcomed w/an open heart & feel the support of Mother Earth as we honor the practice of yoga. Wado...(thank you in Cherokee)

Matthew is not the first member of his family to manifest healing for others through the presence of the Divine. His Grandmother Colleen, in the mid 50's witnessed many mystical miracles, such as cancers falling off people, goiters shrinking, blind eyes opening and many more….
Before she passed she laid her hand on Matthews head and prayed that the mantle (gift) of healing on her life would be transferred to his. The Glory of God came upon him instantly and things began to change.
Since then Matthew has begun to experience many mystical miracles manifesting in his own life. During a Kundalini Yoga class with Damade Amanbir Kaur, Matthew discovered that healing can actually take place while practicing yoga.
This stirred a hunger inside of him, not only did he want to learn more about yoga, but he wanted to become a yoga instructor. He thought, “the more ways to bring healing the better.” He continued his studies with The Sun Shine State Yoga Academy led by Alan Lowenschus. Alan nurtured Matthew and encouraged him to step out and begin to use the gifts that had been given to him.
Now certified by The Sun Shine State Yoga Academy in 2010, Matthew not only teaches yoga, but also holds events called “Nights of Healing, where people experience the Loving, Healing, all Inclusive presence of God.

Her practice was a slow evolution but after having her daughter in 2014 and leaving the 100 hour corporate work weeks she found a new solace in yoga. Attending class after class to enjoy some quiet time she found an intimacy within herself unexperienced before. Her mentor opened her mind to focus on more than just completing each pose but stretching and strengthening her Spirit, Soul & Body; becoming intentional and patient with the changes. Not only could she settle her mind but returned to her family recharged and refreshed giving her the strength to enjoy every season of this crazy life.
Completely in love with the inner changes yoga made room for she completed 540 hour Masters in 2017 with Thai & Trauma sensitivity training as well, proving that she will always be a student first.
