Meet Marissa
Trauma-Informed Yoga and Meditation Instructor
Marissa has studied yoga and meditation since 2003. She studied under Cator Shachoy for almost 10 years in San Francisco. Then, in 2012 she felt called to teach and studied with Suddha Weixler at Chicago Yoga Center for her 200-hour training. During her training, Marissa had the deep honor to receive teaching from Rama Jyoti Vernon, one of the founders of Yoga Journal. Her work in Citizen Diplomacy in the 1980's and 1990's deeply influenced Marissa, and continues to inform her yoga teaching today.
Soon after becoming a yoga instructor, Marissa fell into Public Education by being a substitute teacher. She became K-12 certified in 2015. She received extensive trauma-informed training while working for the Blackfeet community in Northern Montana.
The Yin and Yang retreat was the most relaxing experience I have had in a VERY long time.

This was a fabulous one day retreat! The location was beautiful, the yoga space was comfortable and welcoming. Marissa's format of Yang in the morning and Yin in the afternoon worked great. The morning snack and lunch were delicious and I appreciated so much the gluten free, dairy free, paleo-type menu options!
