Marina is a world traveler and yoga teacher with over a decade of experience. She has a deep passion for exploring different aspects of human existence through her practice and meditation. She sees yoga and mindfulness as ways to tap into the ancient wisdom of the body and soul, as well as to uncover the self-healing potential that all of us possess. Marina’s approach to teaching honors Tantra Yoga Tradition, the ancient practice that is a powerful combination of asana (posture), pranayama (breath work), and bandha (energy lock). This approach can support practitioners in moving through the modern world with confidence and contentment. Marina's teaching style weaves insights from the fields of psychology, philosophy, anatomy, and neuroscience into a holistic practice that enlivens the body, mind, and heart. Her classes are intelligently sequenced to emphasize a mindful connection to one’s breath and a compassionate attempt to understand one’s body and mind. It is Marina’s intention to create a safe and welcoming environment in her classes for every student to experience the transformational power of yoga.
