Mari believes that growth comes from the willingness to challenge ourselves and explore stepping outside our comfort zone.
Transformation occurs when we are curious and open to what is possible. I want to be brave enough to always try even if I fail and fall and to have the courage to rise again. The yoga practice provides a safe space where she can play in the unknown- can connect with what is real- here and now, and delve into that deeper part of herself that is true and ever steady.
Mari teaches an alignment-based practice of movement and breath that is both accessible and challenging- a flow that is dynamic, strong and fluid with lots of opportunity to get rooted through the hands and play upside down.
She is humbled and inspired everyday she get to teach and to share space and watch courageous yogis go deep into themselves and realize their own potential.
