ABOUT MARLENE
Since her childhood Marlene is drawn to the Indian culture and its movement practices. Years of a devoted self-practice and studies of Hatha Yoga, Physiology, Ayurveda, Positive Psychology and Somatic Therapy inform her teachings today. Most and foremost Marlene views herself as a practitioner, who continues to learn and evolve every day.
The yoga practice to her is a conscious exploration of the inner landscape. With her classes she wishes to offer an entry point for her students to fall in love again with being alive in this body and to empower them to be their most radiant self.
Her powerful and creative Vinyasa sequences weave functional flows with the intelligence of the energy body, poetry and somatic expression into a joyful ride.​​
