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

Flow and Restore – A holistic practice that begins with slow, mindful movements inspired by Hatha Yoga, focusing on alignment, breath awareness, and body awareness. The class starts with longer-held postures, allowing you to deeply explore each pose and cultivate a sense of presence in the body. These initial movements help build a strong foundation, release tension, and prepare the body for deeper work.

As the practice progresses, elements of Vinyasa Flow are introduced, bringing dynamic, breath-guided movements to build warmth, energy, and flexibility. The flow is designed to gradually increase the pace and intensity, helping to energize the body and enhance mobility while maintaining mindfulness and breath connection.

The class then slows down into restorative and Yin Yoga-inspired poses, allowing for deep relaxation and tension release. These long-held postures promote flexibility, enhance joint mobility, and help calm the nervous system. The focus shifts to letting go of any remaining tension, allowing the body and mind to unwind and restore balance.

Perfect for all levels, Flow and Restore is especially beneficial for those seeking a well-rounded practice that offers both energizing movement and restorative relaxation. Ideal after a long day or a physically demanding activity like surfing, this class helps to restore balance, calm the mind, and leave you feeling rejuvenated and centered.
