If you come to Marie’s class you are not just coming to a yoga class. Marie put all herself, her knowledge and her personality in her teachings and you can touch her love for this practice as a lifestyle. Her classes are regenerating and further to having improved my body and inner balance I also have a better flexibility now. It’s really a pleasure joining Marie class each Monday!’ – Flavia

‘Marie your class was very special. Your soft and calm voice, holding safe space and connecting with us with our hands was relaxing and recharging. Your choice of music and the connection with our hands shows all of us that we are not alone, that we are all connected. Thank you for this beautiful experience.’- Anna

‘Marie is a cheerful friendly teacher whose sessions are always a very interesting combination of flow yoga with influences from her contact improvisation and dance background. She is so welcoming and makes you feel at home from the very first lesson. She’s always open to suggestions and adapts the exercises and poses to the mood and possibilities of the students. Namaste, Marie!’ – Belen
