welcome

why you should join us

My classes encourage movement as medicine. Medicine for the body/mind/soul. Getting on the mat for me is like drinking liquid elixir. I’ve never yet felt worse getting off the mat in all these years, quite the opposite in fact. The mat becomes your safe place, a place where you can exhale, a place to take refuge, a place to call home. You could call me a one-stop yoga shop as through the years I knew that one type of practice was not going to work for the body, age, seasons, state, etc. It didn’t make sense to me to practice a really active, strenuous yoga class if I already had a very hard day and felt depleted.  My desire is that more an more people be guided to the practice and philosophy of yoga so that they too can experience healing, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

“The body is the vessel to the Soul”, therefore it is in our best interest to take care of it.

The key thing is to start where you are at, one step, one breath, one day at a time. I’m not saying it’s an easy journey but it can be the most rewarding. Learning, loving, understanding your-Self, your amazing Self is where it’s at and then spreading that light with the world.

Benefits of Yoga

do some good for your mind & body

A MORE BALANCED MIND & BODY

Yoga encourages you to relax, slow your breath, and focus on the present, shifting the balance from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system. You’ll find both your stress levels and blood pressure reduced.

INCREASED HEART & LUNG FUNCTION

When you regularly get your heart rate up, you lower your risk of heart attack. Yoga will improve your overall lung function, including the volume of breath and the efficiency of exhalation.

GREATER STRENGTH & FLEXIBILITY

Aches and pains related to tight muscles and joints or weak muscles will start to fade, and poses you once thought impossible will become more accessible to you. Yoga means you won’t need to sacrifice strength for flexibility

IMPROVED OVERALL EMOTIONAL HEALTH

Higher energy levels result in increased happiness, higher self-esteem and deeper sleep. Consistent yoga practice improves depression and an increase in serotonin levels and a decrease in the levels of cortisol.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

“The experience of attending Marian’s Yoga Classes has proven to be a lifeline during the past year. Her online Zoom class schedule offers the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of classes which nourish body, mind and spirit. Rolling out a mat at home has meant that I can attend many more classes than before which has broadened my practice and ability. It has transformed my life through improvements in flexibility, strength, and fitness. “

“Marian’s training in Somatics adds greatly to her classes as she has a huge knowledge of the subtleties of movement. I love that her classes are so holistic. She threads her sessions with teachings about the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Her energy and commitment in the classes comes, I feel, from her deep belief in the integrity of yoga and its ability to heal.”
