Mark Seiler graduated from Washington State University in 2007 with a B.A. in Economics and began his career in the stock market as an Active Trading Stockbroker at Charles Schwab. After more than a decade in high-pressure financial services, the demands of desk life led to chronic postural imbalances and serious physical setbacks. In 2014, Mark was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, limiting his shoulder strength and mobility, and by 2019 he had suffered a torn disc between his L4 and L5 vertebrae—an injury that became a turning point rather than an endpoint.

Determined to restore his health, Mark lost over 70 pounds and committed himself to the study of yoga. He spent a year living in Mumbai, India, immersing himself in Bikram Yoga and traditional Hatha yoga from Rishikesh under the guidance of master teachers. This journey reshaped not only his body but his life’s direction, leading him to become a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, a Bikram Yoga Certified Teacher, and to step away from the corporate world in favor of education and service, including teaching as a K–12 substitute.

Founded by Mark Seiler in West Hollywood, Yogaman Studio reflects this hard-earned transformation. Rooted in breath, posture, and intelligent movement, Yogaman is designed to help students breathe fully, move freely, and explore the true capabilities of their bodies. Blending discipline with depth—without gimmicks or shortcuts—Yogaman offers body-aware yoga for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, so each student leaves the mat breath full, body awake, and life in motion.
