Martha is passionate about sharing her love for yoga and a yoga lifestyle with all levels of students, from the brand-new beginner, to the more experienced practitioner. It is her experience that regular yoga practice is grounding, uplifting and transformational, and Martha is skilled at creating these experiences for her students. 

“I tried yoga many times over the years on the recommendation of friends and trainers, but it never really did anything for me until I tried a class with Martha. My body responded to her style of flow combined with deep exploration of certain poses, while her words lit me up spiritually. There was one class where, after the first fifteen minutes of practice, the whole experience was so moving I had goose bumps. After that I was hooked. I’ve been practicing with Martha in one-on-one sessions for more than ten years now and my body, and, for that matter, my entire life, are transformed. I keep reaching places I never imagined, and then, with a little coaching from Martha, I keep pushing beyond.” — Mark

Martha is available for private group and individual sessions upon request.
