Mark Bailey

Mark Bailey is an actor, musician, and longtime bartender who first stepped onto a yoga mat in 2001, looking for a little balance amid the whirlwind of late nights, auditions, and more espresso than any doctor would recommend.

He began teaching in 2009 in both New York City and Mexico, experiences that shaped his grounded, welcoming approach to practice—whether the backdrop is a buzzing studio or an ocean breeze.

His classes weave breath, alignment, and an easygoing sense of humor with carefully curated music that supports the arc of the practice, creating a space where students can feel strong, centered, and just a little more human.

I practice yoga because… it makes me a better person in every area of my life.

I teach yoga because… I want to share the gifts I've been so freely given.

I find peace… in nature.

Some of my favorite snacks are… chocolate chip cookies and ice cream.

I am happiest when… I am around music.

When I’m not at Inner Bliss, you might find me… on my standup paddle board, at the bookstore, or hitting the slopes.

My favorite mantra is… Om Namah Shivaya

Everyday I .... try to have three victories: 1 physical, 1 mental, 1 spiritual.
