Yoga has been a refrain in Marie’s life since she fell in love with the practice as an 8-year-old. She remembers thinking savasana felt just like dessert tastes. Yoga came back around years later, when she was recovering from an injury in 2001, and has been a major constant for her ever since. Karma is Marie’s yoga home, where she completed teacher certification with Katrina Gustafson and Lisa Schlelein. Other life teachers include Annie Dillard, Lewis Thomas, Maira Kalman, and Dr. Seuss. In each class, Marie weaves together an invigorating vinyasa flow with connections to music, poetry, science, and the everyday, embracing the meaning of yoga as a union between the seen and unseen. She still thinks savasana should feel like a soulful dessert.
