“From the moment I arrived at Marianne’s training, I felt I was exactly where I was meant to be. Beyond learning asana and anatomy, I traveled back to my heart and this gave me courage and strength to live my life differently. Both literately and figuratively, I learned to dance again.”

"I’ve practiced yoga for 12 years, and lived in 3 countries, never have I experienced yoga to the depth that Marianne teaches. YTT has been incredible experience.

Vast Experience

My path has taken me far beyond yoga studio teaching. I’ve taught pre-schoolers to high schoolers, worked with professional sports teams on football and soccer fields, in dance studios bring the gift of yoga to dancers bodies, physical therapy clinics, mental health groups, eating disorder clinics, cancer groups, hospitals, and senior homes. I’ve taught at federal prisons, support groups for PTSD, and grief. I’ve taught at five star resorts throughout the Caribbean and YMCA basements. Whatever your reason for being here, and attending a YTT, chances are, I have the experience to lead you, guide you, into what ever your heart desires.
