Mark Mostaed

Mark Mostaed is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, somatic guide, nervous-system specialist, and the creator of The Shadow Code™—a trauma-informed, body-based approach to emotional healing and identity transformation. His work is designed for high-functioning, self-aware individuals whose lives work on the surface, yet feel braced or unfinished underneath.

With over a decade of experience teaching yoga, breathwork, relationship counseling and embodied practices, Mark blends modern neuroscience, subconscious pattern interruption, and somatic awareness with ritual, presence, and deep listening. His approach goes beyond talk therapy and mindset work, meeting people at the level where patterns are actually formed—in the nervous system and the body.

Mark’s work is shaped not only by extensive training, but by lived experience. After navigating divorce, relational wounds, and his own nervous-system recalibration, he developed The Shadow Code™ as a way to help others interrupt survival-based patterns and return to a felt sense of safety, clarity, and self-trust.

Known for creating deeply held, honest spaces, Mark guides groups with precision, warmth, and grounded leadership. His retreats are not about fixing or optimizing, but about creating the conditions where something real can soften, release, and reorganize naturally.
