What people say about Marina and her courses:
Thoroughly enjoyed my first yoga class
Marina was more than facilitating this week, she really taught the skills, meaning and process of yoga so that i really understood the positions. She was gentle and calm
Yoga was wonderful
Marina's course relaxing and great for a newbie
I found Marina’s yoga sessions beneficial and inspiring
Sensitive approach means I hope I will practice yoga at home.
