MARK & MOVEMENT ANATOMY

Educator.  Author.  Movement anatomy specialist.
Over 30 years of teaching the people who teach movement.

Where it started

Mark came to anatomy and physiology the same way many movement professionals do. Not through a medical degree, but through a deep interest in how the body moves and what that means for the people who teach movement every day.

What he found was a gap. Anatomy education was either too academic to be useful or too simplified to be meaningful. Neither version served the Pilates instructor, the Yoga teacher, the personal trainer trying to do right by their clients.

So he built something different. In 2018, Movement Anatomy launched with a case-based learning model built specifically for movement professionals.
Practical, applied, and relevant. Designed to be immediately usable, no matter your modality or experience.
The first of its kind.

Beyond the qualifications.

Mark lives and works in Cape Town. He is a former competitor in orienteering and adventure racing, and still runs half marathons. Movement, in every sense of the word, is a central part of his life.

That personal relationship with movement is part of what makes his teaching different. He is not teaching from a textbook. He is teaching from nearly 40 years of genuine interest in and engagement with the subject.
