Certified Iyengar Yoga teacher

Garth McLean is a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher and an actor. You may recognize him from his numerous appearances in television commercials.Blessed with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 1996, Garth successfully manages his MS and a hectic schedule with a daily practice of Iyengar Yoga as presented by Yoga master, Sri B.K.S. Iyengar. Garth currently teaches public classes at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of Los Angeles, Yogaworks and Sports Club LA, Beverly Hills. Private instruction is also available.
For inspiration he looks to Patanjali's Yoga Sutra (II.16): "heyam dukham anagatam" which poignantly translates as: "the pains of the future can and are to be avoided"



Brief History:

Raised on the Canadian prairies, McLean relocated to NYC to study acting with the legendary Sandy Meisner at The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre. After working on stage and film in NY, he moved to Hollywood in the 90's where he continues to garner roles in film and television. (See performance page). His interest in live theater remained strong and soon Garth began to produce local theatre and short films. His path led him to the study of the martial art Aikido under the guidance of Haruo Matsuoka Sensei, and by circumstance, to work [as an assistant] for action movie star Steven Seagal. The celebrity lifestyle catapulted him around the globe. Not to be deterred by a diagnosis of MS in 1996, Garth has written and continues to perform his solo play Looking for Lightning about his journey.
