Yoga
Marisa started her yoga journey over 20 years ago to get back in shape after giving birth to her daughter. Just like any beginner, she practiced at home using instructional videos. The first time she stepped into an actual yoga studio, years later, it was a Hatha Hot 26+2 class. Little did she know that first class would change her life forever. The in-person yoga class challenged her in more ways both physically and mentally than any online class she had ever taken. She decided then and there to practice regularly and never looked back. The daily interactions with various yoga instructors and other yogis resulted in faster gains and improvements in her own practice. Beyond that, yoga gave her the opportunity to look at life more objectively and with greater awareness. Back in 2019, after almost 15 years of being a dedicated student of yoga and seeing how much yoga had helped her, she decided she wanted to share these… benefits with others by becoming a teacher. She also recognized that even being the best student doesn't automatically make you a great teacher, so once again, she set out to learn and experience more. Now, with a 500 RYT certification, over 200 hours of continuing education and 500+ hours of teaching experience, she not only knows how to guide her students but also how to support them in their journey while maximizing their progress. She specializes in Hatha Hot 26+2, Hot Power Fusion, Vinyasa/Power Vinyasa, Yoga Sculpt and Yin. She is also an experienced Yoga Teacher Training Coach and Soundbath Facilitator using Crystal Singing Bowls. "I hope to help every one of my students achieve more success, more happiness, greater peace, and aid in their discovery of what is possible, all through yoga. Namaste."
