Yoga is a nearly 5000-year old discipline from North India, which has made its mark worldwide including Australia, where ardent followers like Marc Potter have made it their life’s mission to promote yoga to everyone who wishes to embrace it.
Early Days
Marc Potter’s childhood was in Melbourne, but then the family moved to Perth in Western Australia, and it is there that he established his first yoga school, Sunsalute Yoga, at Swanbourne, WA about 10 years ago. Since then, he has gone from success to success with students and practitioners of all ages flocking to his classes.
Self Taught
His brand of yoga may not be what the ancient founders preached and practiced, but his years of teaching and observing how students react to yoga, enabled him to come up with the Mysore style which helped his students attain their physical goal as well as mental peace, in their own time. Marc Potter used his own experiments and experience with meditation and yoga to plan and adapt it to make it easy for people to follow.
Multi-Talented Teacher
Marc Potter has used his early years as a sportsperson, surfer, cameraman, landscaper, and other work experiences when dreaming of opening his own yoga school, and though it was a big risk, he ventured into something that was risky at the outset. However, he persevered, and bought the ancient Hindu art of yoga into mainstream Western Australia first, and hopes to spread his message to all corners of the country.
