Marie is a registered yoga teacher and has certification in Vinyasa yoga. Her goal, as a yoga teacher, is to entice her students to fall in love with yoga, like she did. All her life, she has been interested in keeping active and fit. As a result of natural aging, she was subtly losing her range of motion and flexibility, which she noticed in the simplest daily actions, her careless ease, had become more deliberate and sometimes painful. After a few yoga classes, Marie found more energy, less pain, improved strength and flexibility and as a result more confidence with her health and wellbeing. Marie would love to provide this gift of wellbeing to others.
