RYT 200
I'm Marisa, originally from New York. I moved to Ohio in 2007 and started my family. I have 3 kids. We love to go to the beach, be anywhere outside and try new adventures. I'm a Mental Health Advocate and I believe there is nothing more valuable than life. I volunteer for Akron Pride and LifeAct (they raise awareness for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.)
I've been practicing Yoga for over 15 years but didn't try Power Yoga until I started at Bliss. As my practice deepened so did my search to explore in more depth, the teachings of Yoga. I graduated from Yoga Bliss' YTT program in 2021 and have been teaching since. Yoga has given me a strong mental and physical foundation, I am so grateful that it has brought me to this community of students, friends and fellow teachers. It fuels me and fills me with love and positive energy.
I love teaching Power but I've also developed a passion for teaching many of the other classes offered at Bliss. While I crave the heat, I also like to take it down a notch and enjoy slower flows, meditations (I love to write) and restorative classes. You can find me all over the schedule! My style can probably be defined as New York passion meets California vibes. If I can do Yoga with my setbacks, absolutely anyone can! My goal is to make my students feel safe, empowered, calm, centered and know their incredible worth.
