Yoga Teacher Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga classes. All lessons are adapted to your needs and level.
I was born in Mexico and lived there for 20 years before moving to Montreal and finally settling in France 4 years ago. After being a semi-professional classical dancer, yoga came into my life about ten years ago.After years of practice, I decided to make it my professional activity and so I took a 200-hour training course in order to be able to teach. Since then, I am also a specialist in Ayurvedic medicine and certified Reiki I, II and III master.
Today yoga, meditation and mindfulness have changed my outlook on life. I learned to let go, to listen to my body and my intuition and enjoy the present moment. I look forward to meeting you all on the retreat.
Mariana resides in Australia and completed her Kahuna massage training at Mettes Institute. Her artistic talents extend worldwide as a cellist, and painting while she plays resonates deeply with the soul.
