Marita will lead you through the Anatomy section of your training. She is an experienced and dedicated yoga educator with over two decades of teaching experience.

Since then, Marita has completed over 1,500 hours of training, encompassing Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, AcroYoga, Remedial, Trauma-Aware, and Mental Health-Aware Yoga. In addition to her extensive yoga education, Marita holds an Associate Degree in Health and Human Sciences and is passionate about integrating science with yogic wisdom. As a teacher trainer, she has the ability to explain complex subjects in a way that makes them simple and accessible.
