Marie is an inquisitive, joyful soul in the vessel of a young woman who draws inspiration from the extraordinary and the everyday in equal measure ~ forever trying to recognise they are of the same cloth, and that the threads that bind the two worlds are interwoven through all that we do.

 

Movement as Medicine

Fascinated by this experience of being human she loves to explore the mind body connection through the physical, the mental and the emotional, exploring movement of prana or energy through the physical in yoga, dance, running, Qi-Gong; through the mental with continued learning, investigating and problem solving and through the emotional both with exchanges with others in the outer world and within the inner world of the self.

Ever observant and curious by nature, a burning desire to share stories led her to study journalism many moons ago, where it became all too quickly apparent that the motive behind a story is paramount. After writing other people’s stories as an arts writer in Berlin for several years she decided to continue writing her own as she embarked upon her yoga journey - first and foremost through the eyes of a student.

 

The Power of Storytelling

Marie is fascinated by the stories we tell each other about ourselves, the stories we store in our bodies.
Continuing to learn how to befriend mind and body and identify the stories they hold is an ongoing process, a coming home that she invites you to share with her. From her perspective life so far has been a series of learning and unlearning, creating and erasing, forging and surrendering and she is grateful for it all.

Marie strives as a facilitator to create safe spaces through yoga classes, events and more for people to connect authentically with themselves and others, trusting their own wisdom and inner teacher. She is interested and actively trying to create inclusive, fluid and sustainable community led initiatives that empower, enable and encourage those around her  ~ and welcomes any input on how to do so.

 

Lone Wolf ~ Wolf Pack

Yoga does not exist in a vacuum, we are not islands unto ourselves but an incredible archipelago.

While learning to self regulate better has been one of the greatest tools that yoga has equipped Marie with, she acknowledges that how we co-regulate is equally, if not more, important. There is no escaping that we are all relational mammals, making sense of the world around us through our relationships with each other, the world around us and the stories we share.

 

Let’s write a masterpiece together.
