Living a life of devotion has taught me THIS...! | Mark Darby

A Stillpoint Portrait of Mark Darby, a long term Ashtanga and Kriya yoga practitioner and teacher who lives in Montreal, Canada. In this captivating interview, Mark takes us through the spiritual journey of his life, beginning with his upbringing in Australia and leading to his profound experiences within the vibrant spirituality of India in the 1970s and 80s. He discusses how his quest for spiritual truth and devotion led him to Mysore, where he experienced intense Ashtanga yoga study with Pattabhi Jois. This relationship and study would become the foundation from which his life moves. Mark reflects on the essence of bhakti and the lessons he learned through years of practice and teaching, while also raising a family and living the life of a householder. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of devotion, learning, and living with purpose. It offers valuable insights for anyone on a spiritual journey. ---- This portrait was filmed at Purple Valley Yoga Centre in Goa.
