Mari Colbert

Mari came to yoga nine years ago while deep in the midst of dance training and entered the practice to gain greater strength and flexibility. After several years of a professional dance career in Europe, Mari realised that her heart lay in taking the steps toward becoming a yoga teacher.

Driven by a profound passion to help others and by a love for, and belief in, the expressive, healing power of movement and meditation, Mari completed her TTC in India with Heather Elton and Emil Wendel.

Mari believes that yoga is not only about the asana (the postures), it is a journey inwards. It is about learning to listen, to wholeheartedly tune into the fluctuations of the mind and emotions and by doing so stilling the inner turmoil that is inevitable to the human condition. Through her practices, Mari hopes that she can help guide you on this journey.

“Being on the mat is a wonderful opportunity for self-discovery. Through the practice of yoga we are grounded in the present moment. We can practice loving kindness, explore our innate strength and attentively care for our unique bodies and minds and thus liberate ourselves, and ultimately those around us, from suffering.”
