Marie Knight
Marie has been an avid yogi for many years and took advantage of the quarantine period of the pandemic to complete her yoga teacher training. This time of reflection deepened her understanding of yoga and how trauma impacts all of our lives. She finds trauma informed yoga practices to be a more supportive practice as we never know what a participant has experienced in their lifetime.
Through her teachings Marie aims to guide others towards greater embodiment, vitality, and enjoyment of life with her lighthearted, playful style. She incorporates amazing music playlists and her love of Billy Joel (if you’ve been to a Yin class you’ll know what we mean!) in all of her class offerings.
Certifications include:
200 hour RYT, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, PreNatal Yoga
Description
Go inward to find balance between effort and ease as you unwind a tight body, mind or heart. Yin yoga targets deeper connective tissues in the body; lengthening, strengthening and stretching the ligaments and fascia, while inviting the muscles to relax. Expect a slow, floor based practice utilizing props, with postures emphasizing the hips, thighs, back, neck and shoulders that are held for longer periods of time (3-10 minutes) to release deeply held tension and calm the mind for quiet introspection. This amazing practice offers the opportunity to go inward and find an appropriate balance of effort and ease.
