Do you constantly feel overwhelmed?
Do you struggle to stay focused throughout the day?
Do you feel tired but wrestle with getting a good night's sleep?
Do you feel disconnected from your body and overall well-being?
I can relate.
I went to my first yoga class for a good sweaty workout, but I got so much more. Over the years, I’ve come back to my mat to connect with myself and move my body. It wasn’t until 2018, when I was living in NYC after traveling and going to yoga almost every day that I decided to get my 200 hours in Power Vinyasa Yoga. Since then, I’ve had my practice through multiple moves to different states, getting a puppy, getting married, starting and shifting through different jobs, and it has held me through every transition in life.
Having time for yourself is vital when you’re a caretaker or providing for others. You need to keep your cup full. I’ve fallen out of my practice plenty of times but every time I come back to it, it feels like everything else in my life falls back into place.

In a time where finding my practice wasn't always easy, the comfort and ease of taking Marissa's virtual classes inspired and uplifted me. Her calm, steady tone kept me focused on the practice, allowing me to let go of the stress of the world and tune back into my body and breath. I highly recommend this for anyone who needs a teacher who feels like a friend to give them the space to find or deepen their practice.
"Marissa has a knack for making her students feel held, recognized, and valued in her class. "

The classes were built to help me gradually work my way up to my goals. Her ability to explain things in layman’s terms and demonstrate/explain poses in a way that makes them easy to grasp was especially appreciated. Furthermore, she was willing to listen to what specific aches/pains/issues I was having prior to a particular class and alter it accordingly. Highly recommend and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!
"Marissa is an absolutely incredible yoga teacher who knows how to tailor a class to fit her students' needs."

Marissa was able to give great, personalized adjustments both over zoom and in-person. Class is always very individualized and tailored to students’ needs. I always feel seen and heard. The pacing and sequencing of class was absolutely perfect. Power flow is always a nice balance of challenging flow and poses, hip-openers, stretching, winding-down, and mindfulness.
My flexibility improved 10 fold and I can do poses that I could not before- I really didn’t think that I could do inversions, but Marissa believed and insisted that I was capable. After a few months of class, I had my crow!
I can’t recommend class with Marissa enough- she’s truly one of the best teachers I’ve had the pleasure of practicing with!
"Marissa has such a calming, grounded, and positive energy. I always leave class with less tension, in both my body and mind, than when I began."
