About
Exclusively providing instruction in Marin County, I specialize in teaching yoga and meditation for optimal health and long-lasting happiness. With over 25 years of experience training both students and instructors, I am now offering my authentic approach digitally through private lessons in a fusion style encompassing hatha alignment, Vinyasa, and Kundalini practices. Enhance your skills in flow, backbends, inversions, relaxation, and meditation with my detailed guidance in every class.

As part of my mission to make this practice accessible to all, I teach online classes or welcome clients who can travel to my location. Although my classes are available to anyone, I specialize in helping individuals with strength training, relaxation, fertility, and pregnancy needs. As a mother of two daughters, I understand the challenges that arise during pregnancy, which is why I also offer dedicated fertility and prenatal yoga classes. Join me and develop trust in yourself while staying fit and healthy.

With esteemed Yoga Alliance certifications including E-RYT 200, RYT 500, PRYT, and YACEP, as well as my BA from UC Berkeley and training from UCSF in Mindfulness-Based Childbirth and Parenting, you can trust that you are receiving the best instruction possible.

For a number of years now, I've been attending yoga classes with Marissa. She is undeniably well-versed in the different types of yoga, as well as in pilates and anatomy. What sets her apart is her drive to ensure every session is unique, interesting, and tailored to meet my specific needs. Each week, she introduces us to an array of different poses to target different areas of the body, all while still incorporating many traditional yoga moves and positions. I've had other yoga instructors who would simply repeat the same routine week after week, ultimately becoming boring and uninspiring. Marissa, on the other hand, always keeps me engaged while challenging me to grow and improve. Additionally, Marissa’s online classes are outstanding. She shows you how to make use of furniture and other props readily available at home, so you can continue to practice the moves during the day. In fact, she even works with pregnant women in the class, showing them how to adjust the moves to ensure their safety. While I have the option of attending free yoga classes in my complex, I choose to work with Marissa every time. Her professionalism, sensitivity, adaptive style, and genuine care for her students make for a truly remarkable learning experience.
