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
Yin Yoga – A slow-paced practice that primarily involves seated and lying postures, with no standing positions. The focus is on holding each pose for 3-5 minutes to target the deeper layers of the body, such as connective tissues, fascia, ligaments, and joints. Unlike more dynamic styles of yoga, Yin Yoga invites stillness and surrender, allowing gravity to gently deepen the stretch as the body relaxes into each posture.
This practice promotes deep flexibility by working through the body’s connective tissues, offering a profound release of tension and helping to improve joint mobility. By holding each pose for extended periods, Yin Yoga encourages mindful breathing and presence, calming the mind, reducing stress, and activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which fosters deep relaxation.
Perfect after a long day or a surf session, Yin Yoga helps restore balance by offering a peaceful space to unwind and reconnect with yourself. It’s ideal for anyone seeking to deepen flexibility, release chronic tension, or simply slow down. Accessible to all levels, this practice provides a deeply soothing, restorative experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, centered, and deeply relaxed.
