Description

Specialties

Yoga, Health, & Lifestyle Coach — Corporate Yoga, Private Yoga, Stress Management, and Office Wellness Consultant — Workshop Facilitator — Expert in Integrative Nutrition and Holistic Sensuality.

History

Established in 2003.

I had been in graduate school for electronic arts, spending most of my waking hours in front of a computer. Eventually my body rebelled, and I developed Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI). It hurt to even pick up a fork.

I left graduate school and focused on healing arts; first for myself and then offering them to others.

Yoga, Nutrition, and Lifestyle are transformational building blocks toward well being and vitality.

Marna is a treasure! She’s been a godsend for me as a yoga instructor and Reiki practitioner. I highly recommend her for anyone wanting a personalized and focused experience from a knowledgeable and gentle teacher. As a person who suffers with chronic pain, I cannot overemphasize how integral to my wellbeing Marna’s presence twice a week has been for me. Do your body a favor and call Marna. You won’t regret it.

Marna has been yoga coach to the two of us about once a week for the last few months, and she has been wonderful. We originally found her here on Unilocal and I would very strongly recommend her to other Unilocalers. She has the perfect calm and warmth for a yoga teacher and is very good at tailoring the session to individual needs.
Basically, we can’t recommend her more strongly.

In the few months that Marna has been guiding us in our yoga practice at the office, we have really seen the difference in the level of energy in our team after her sessions.
She tailors the practice to the mixed level of experience one finds in an office environment, suggesting alternative poses and levels of intensity so that enthusiastic novices don’t feel intimidated and long-​time yogis continue to be challenged. Questions are welcomed, she doesn’t just show us poses but teaches us to listen to our bodies and understand limits and goals.
Smiles are all around after the class, everyone has felt engaged and included, and the increased energy in the workplace is definitely noticeable. Such a positive start manifests during the rest of the day too and with our Friday sessions gives us a joyful and energetic start to the weekend, noticed and appreciated by the non-​participants too! Thanks Marna!

Marna has been teaching yoga to our team for about a year. Her style is gentle, respectful and persuasive. She coaches our diverse team well and often makes us laugh, [even if it is at ourselves]. Our team enjoys working with Marna as she gives us 90 minutes respite from the exigencies of our crazy startup business life. We are a better team due to her efforts.

I’ve tried many types of yoga over the years and more teachers than I can remember, but Marna is the only one I have stuck with week after week. Her patient, caring style and willingness to meet students at their level of comfort and ability is really special. I also like the way she combines breathing exercises, stretching, athleticism, and more challenging poses in a way that always leaves me feeling refreshed and more connected to my body. Give her classes a try!

I’ve been to two different types of classes with Marna and they were both great. She ran a great private yoga session for a bachelorette party that I attended. It was the perfect day-​after-​night-​out activity. I’ve also been to her classes at Magnolia wellness center. Marna’s classes always make me feel relaxed and calm. She is a great teacher and always explains the moves as well as helping you to adjust your postures to get more out of them. Marna’s yoga practice is different from other yoga classes I’ve been to — it is more focused on pleasure, enjoyment of yoga, and peacefulness. Always a lovely experience!

Before I worked with Marna I felt exhausted almost everyday and my neck was hurting from arthritis. I frequently experienced spasms and pain in my back after walking, shopping, or even just sitting! After one session I had more energy and less pain! It’s easier to sit up straight, and the spasm just disappeared.
The whole experience of one-​on-​one is amazing. During and after our sessions I feel a beautiful lightness of being. Her studio is very cozy, very relaxing, and I always leave smiling.
