community yoga meditation
​Marie teams up with local communities to help increase access to yoga meditation & breathwork. She builds safe, suportive, fun groups where everyone feels included. Marie especially welcomes absolute beginners, those who have injuries and anyone who believes they're 'not flexible.' Yoga is for everybody. You don't have to curl yourself into a pretzel to get the benefits.
"Marie is a wonderful teacher. It's was many years since I last did yoga, but I've found a renewed sense of peace and strength in the three years I've been practicing with her. Somehow she manages to combine a gentle approach with total accountability. It's much more than a physical exercise class - I have ejoyed being part of a lovely yogi community." Clare

Love Maries voice. She would give Mirim in Cadburys Caramel advert a run for her money.

When I started movement classes with Marie I had continual back pain and insomnia. I was on two types of medication. Marie's classes are fun and challenging, no class is ever the same.

I joined Marie's classes over 12 months ago (and was delighted when she began to zoom) to as I wanted to improve my mental and physical health, which has happened. Marie is an excellent teacher. She is fun, friendly and yet keeps us focussed on the sequence. Best thing I've do to help me with flexibility, movement and strength. Thank you Marie

​
I want you to know that I have learned so much about myself since meeting you that I am literally overwhelmed. I often think I have done all this too late in my life an have possibly wasted a part of my life, then I think of my kids and other people and love the idea that I can pass my learning on. Thank you for everything, there is actually too much to list if I'm honest, and thank you for yoga being a big one.
(D. Liverpool)
