“Dawn MacLear is one of the true innovators in modern yoga. She has successfully taken the best of an ancient practice and merged with the knowledge that the last three decades of exercise science research has provided. She’s made yoga into something more than just twisting yourself into a pretzel. Her video, Evolved Yoga, is ahead of it’s time. She’s made yoga safe for the masses, while still preserving the great offerings of this mind/body discipline. I wholly endorse her teachings and her video as one, if not the best, on the market.”
— Martica Heaner, Fitness Director of FITNESS Magazine, author of Cross-training for Dummies, and award-winning fitness instructor

Dawn MacLear has been studying yoga since 1977 and exercise science since 1993.
