Yin Yoga is a series of floor based long held asanas that is a complementary yoga practice to the more dynamic and invigorating Yang Yoga. Physically, Yin Yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, primarily between the navel and the knees. Energetically, Yin Yoga opens the body's meridian system, which enhances the body's energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium.  It emphasizes stillness and silence, and prepares both the body and the mind for a deeper experience in meditation.

"What I like most about working with Mari is her ability to blend her extensive knowledge of the physical body with my goals, leading me to important breakthroughs and improvement. I look forward to every class and private session because Mari is so engaged and compassionate.  I always come away with more peace, acceptance, and understanding of myself not only physically but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually."

"Marilyn is a spiritual delight!!! Marilyn trusts the ancient wisdom of Yoga and can lead others with grace into a powerful weave of integration allowing mind, body, and spirit to come into true alignment. We look forward to the serenity that her class brings us each week. Yoga with Marilyn is calming, relaxing and gives us the best night’s sleep. And her workshop on the use of therapeutic balls to work out soreness was fabulous!!! Can't wait for the next one."

"Mari is a gifted, highly skilled and nurturing yoga instructor.  My husband and I attend her classes twice a week and notice that we not only sleep better but feel less stressed overall.  Her unique style of weaving imagery and spiritual wisdom with yoga practice creates a calm, soothing environment accelerating a deep inner connection and physical well-being.  I look forward to her classes and highly recommend them."

"Now, almost a year in, I have come to know Mari as a very special person. She might be the most caring, loving, giving individual I have ever met.

If I was, to sum up, Mari in one word, that word is grace. She is so graceful in movement, communication, spirit, and nature. The words she chooses to convey what she wants us to achieve are so effective, sometimes surprisingly so. The first time she asked us to "relax even your eyelashes" I was initially moved to laughter, but somehow that pierced my understanding, and I was able to soften even further.

one of the things I absolutely love about Mari's classes is she always brings something new to her students. Her range and knowledge are quite amazing."

"I have been taking private yoga classes with Marilyn for over a year.....Her loving kind smile and sense of humor relax me. Every class is well planned and she is flexible to change her plan to cater to my physical and emotional condition for that day. Her classes are beyond my expectations, challenge my body and inspire my spirit. Practicing yoga with Marilyn, I have experienced the connections of body and mind and also healing energy vibrations of my whole being. When I leave her classes, I feel happy, calm and rejuvenated. I am very fortunate to have found such a dedicated and inspiring teachers."
