It is with great pleasure to introduce you to our dear friend Mark Stephen Pomianowski, known only as Sparky. He is a kind of Bay Area legend, infamous for his sense of humor, and his constant confrontations with wild (and quite literal) death defying situations. Sparky’s first life took shape as a student of the guitar and aspiring musician. Currently, he’s a sailboat captain, who took our Ashtanga yoga teacher R. Sharath Jois and his family out on a boat trip around the San Francisco Bay during his last U.S. tour in 2019.

Sparky is also a surfer (who nearly died just last week by a great white shark attack), a yogi, and most of all a father of three, who you’ll hear crawling all over him, in the background during this insanely hilarious episode!
