Marisha, Instructor

Marisha has a Master’s in Clinical Social Work and has worked many years as a psychotherapist. A strong interest in somatic and trauma-informed therapy led her to begin practicing. yoga in 2000 and complete her 200 hour yoga teacher training through Blue Ridge Yoga in 2025.

In managing her own chronic illness, Marisha has benefited greatly from practicing many types of yoga, finding reduction in pain, a deeper connection with her body, and allowing her to find balance between effort and ease. She brings a nurturing, encouraging and grounding presence as she teaches. She creates classes that offer an accessible approach to improving physical, mental and emotional well-being, reducing stress and fatigue, and enhancing overall quality of life.

When she’s not at the studio, you can find Marisha spending time with loved ones, walking outside, playing the piano, or heading to the beach.
