Marie Endres
Marie is an experienced yoga teacher (E-RYT 500, Yoga Alliance) who has been deeply immersed in the practice of yoga for over a decade. Her path has taken her across the globe—from India to Indonesia—where she explored yoga not only as a physical discipline but as a way of living and being.
As the founder of Vaya Yoga Studio, Marie has created a welcoming space where yoga becomes a journey of self-awareness, connection, and transformation. Her classes blend the mindful precision of Hatha Yoga, the dynamic energy of Vinyasa, the deep stillness of Yin, the musicality of Inside Flow, and the functional benefits of Surf Yoga. Through this integrative approach, she supports her students in finding presence, strength, and balance—on and off the mat.
Now based in Portugal, Marie offers weekly classes, workshops, and retreats at her studio. Her teaching style is inclusive, encouraging, and rooted in the belief that yoga is for everyone. She aims to guide each student toward a deeper connection with themselves through conscious movement and breath.
Description
SWAVE Balance ®
A dynamic and energizing class that combines elements of fitness, yoga, and breathwork to strengthen stability, balance, core strength, and coordination on a balance board. This practice engages the body’s deep stabilizing muscles as you continually work to maintain balance, activating muscles you may not typically engage in other forms of exercise.
Designed to improve surf balance, SWAVE Balance helps enhance coordination and body control, crucial for maintaining stability on the surfboard. By constantly adjusting to stay balanced on the board, you train your deep core muscles and stabilizing muscles, which are essential for improving overall balance and posture. This class strengthens your deep musculature, which supports better movement control and reduces the risk of injury.
Whether you’re a surfer or a non-surfer, SWAVE Balance provides a comprehensive full-body workout, perfect for developing strength, coordination, and body awareness. It’s particularly beneficial for surfers looking to refine their balance and coordination skills on the water, but also for anyone wanting to improve their overall stability and body control. This class complements your yoga practice by engaging deep muscles and improving functional fitness, offering a fun and challenging way to build strength and mental focus.
