YOGA means union, uniting all our fragmented little selves. This unity will create harmony, wholeness, health, in our lives and in our world.
Our objective is to unite body, mind, breath, in each and every pose so that we can be fully present in each moment.
As we practice the poses we want to feel stable and grounded; we want to find length in the spine and lightness in the body. Attention to breath and sensations in the body makes our Yoga practice a meditation. We work with the body to find a joyful expression of each pose. Awareness of the spine, the energetic, structural and neurological core of the body, will allow us to work with the poses from the inside out.

RYT GRADUATE TESTIMONAL :
I GRADUATED FROM MARINA'S REGISTERED YOGA TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM IN MARCH 2009. I STARTED THE TRAINING IN JANUARY 2008. WHEN I STARTED, I WAS ALREADY TEACHING A BEGINNER YOGA CLASS TO TEENAGERS. I ENROLLED IN THE RYT PROGRAM BECAUSE I WANTED TO DEEPEN MY PERSONAL PRACTICE AND ENRICH MY OWN TEACHING METHODS. I FEEL EXTREMELY WELL QUALIFIED TO TEACH MY CLASSES NOW, ALL DUE TO MARINA'S EXCELLENT RYT PROGRAM.
THE PROGRAM WAS CHALLENGING, NOT ONLY PHYSICALLY, BUT ALMOST MORE IMPORTANTLY, MENTALLY AND SPIRITUALLY. MARINA'S EXTENSIVE TRAINING AND HER DAILY COMMITMENT TO HER OWN PERSONAL PRACTICE IS OBVIOUS IN EVERY CLASS. I WAS, AND CONTINUE TO BE, IMPRESSED WITH HER VAST KNOWLEDGE OF YOGA. SHE IS A SKILLED TEACHER AND PRACTIONER. HER KNOWLEDGE OF ANATOMY AND OF THE FOUNDATIONS OF YOGA SEEM TO BE ENDLESS. THROUGH MY RYT, MY OWN PRACTICE DEEPENED. THE ASSIGNMENTS CHALLENGED ME IN SO MANY WAYS. THEY WILL OPEN YOU UP TO DIFFERENT WAYS OF SEEING THE WORLD AND YOURSELF. MARINA IS A GIFTED FACILITATOR. SHE GUIDED ME THROUGH EMOTIONALLY CHARGED WATERS WITH A STEADY VOICE AND A COMPASSIONATE HEART.
I CONTINUE TO TAKE CLASSES FROM MARINA. AS YOU WILL LEARN FROM MARINA AS YOUR GUIDE, OUR YOGA TEACHER TRAINING IS NEVER OVER. IT IS ONE OF THE JOYS OF YOGA....TO ALWAYS BE IN THE PROCESS OF INQUIRY, DEEPENING OUR AWARENESS OF OUR BODIES, OUR ENERGY AND OUR SPIRITS.

RYT GRADUATE TESTIMONAL :
MARINA HAS COME TO EMBODY THE SPIRIT AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF YOGA FOR ME. HER TEACHING IS SO NATURAL IT SIMPLY FLOWS OUT OF HER TOWARDS HER STUDENTS. SHE HAS AN ESSENTIAL CLARITY WHICH ALLOWS HER TO APPROACH THE DISSONANCES HER STUDENTS EXPERIENCE BETWEEN MIND, BODY AND BREATH WITH COMPASSION AND DIRECTNESS. I WOULD SAY TOO THAT MARINA'S TEACHING METHODOLOGY HAS AN INDIGENIZING QUALITY TO IT. BY THIS I MEAN THAT IT HELPS STUDENTS TO BECOME MORE NATURAL, MORE THEMSELVES, AND LESS CULTURALLY CONSTRICTED OR ENCODED. THE STUDENT COMES TO LIVE MORE FULLY IN THEIR BODY; THEY ARE MORE GROUNDED, MORE CREATIVE , MORE PLAYFUL, AND MORE FREE IN THE FACE OF THE CHALLENGES OF DAILY LIFE. MARINA IS SEAMLESS IN HER CAPACITY TO MODULATE THE SCIENTIFIC CONTENT, THE INTENSITY AND THE CADENCE OF A SINGLE CLASS BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE INEXPERIENCED, THE AMBIVALENT, AND THE EXPERIENCED YOGA STUDENT. AND INDEED I HAVE BEEN ALL THREE. MARINA HAS, THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT STATES OF ENGAGEMENT, BEEN ABLE TO OPEN UP SPACE FOR ME IN HER CLASSES AND HAS THROUGH THIS BEEN ABLE TO HELP ME OPEN UP SPACE WITHIN MYSELF SO THAT I WAS ABLE TO PERSIST AND ENURE WHEN IT SEEMED ALMOST TO EXCEED ME. I WILL REMAIN FOREVER GRATEFUL TO MARINA FOR HER STEADFASTNESS AND HER GENTLE ENCOURAGEMENT AS I TRIED TO FIRST DEVELOP AND THEN DEEPEN MY PRACTICE AND MY TEACHING SKILLS BETWEEN THE BIRTHS OF MY CHILDREN AND MY PARTICIPATION IN GRADUATE STUDIES. THANK YOU MARINA, YOU ARE A GREAT YOGA TEACHER AND YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME IN WAYS THAT YOU WILL NOT EVER KNOW.
