About Marjorie
HOW AND WHEN DID YOUR YOGA JOURNEY BEGIN?
MY JOURNEY IN YOGA BEGAN 1998 IN WASHINGTON DC. A FRIEND WHO WAS THE GROUP-EX MANAGER AT MY HEALTH CLUB INVITED ME TO HER YOGA CLASS AT A NEIGHBORHOOD STUDIO. SHE SAID CASUALLY, “I THINK YOU’LL LIKE IT.” THAT WAS THE UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR! FROM THAT VERY FIRST CLASS, I KNEW YOGA WAS FOR ME.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT TEACHING YOGA?
I LOVE TEACHING THE ASPECTS OF YOGA THAT MAKE IT DIFFERENT FROM EXERCISE. I LOVE TEACHING PEOPLE HOW TO BE PEACEFUL, STRONG AND MINDFUL. HAVING THE TRAINING TO SERVE STUDENTS IN FUELING THEIR POTENTIAL IS VERY GRATIFYING. I LOVE WITNESSING THE AFTER-CLASS GLOW AND THE SENSE OF WELL-BEING EACH INDIVIDUAL CULTIVATED FROM THE MAT IN THEIR OWN WAY.
WHAT STYLE OF YOGA DO YOU MOST OFTEN TEACH?
I TEACH AN ALIGNMENT BASED STYLE OF YOGA FROM THE KRISHNAMACHARYA LINEAGE. LENDING ITSELF TO INDRA DEVI'S FORMAT OF BUILDING POSES FOR STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY AND WEAVING MINDFUL FLUID SEQUENCES TOPPED WITH A BALANCING POSTURE, IT HIGHLIGHTS CONSCIOUS GRACE AND MOVEMENT. WITH AN EMPHASIS ON BREATHING AND FOCUSED ATTENTION THROUGHOUT, THE CLASS WINDS DOWN FOR EFFORTLESS MOMENTS OF PRANAYAMA, MEDITATION, AND THE WELCOMED REST, "SHAVASANA."
WHAT DOES YOUR PERSONAL YOGA PRACTICE LOOK LIKE?
MY PERSONAL PRACTICE USUALLY STARTS BEFORE SUN-UP WITH A CAPPUCCINO ON THE MAT. FOLLOWED BY MEDITATION, PRANAYAMA, AND ASANA, MY PHYSICAL PRACTICE IS STRONG AND VARIED, BUT NEVER EXHAUSTING. I SAVE THAT FOR RECREATIONAL SPORTS OR AN ASHTANGA CLASS!
WHO ARE YOUR BIGGEST YOGA INSPIRATIONS?
FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE SUTRAS OF PATANJALI. I WAS INTRODUCED TO HIS BOOKS VERY EARLY IN MY STUDIES AS A TEACHER AND I NEVER TIRE OF THE COUNTLESS INTERPRETATIONS. MY ADVANCED TRAINING HAILED FROM THE HIMALAYAN INSTITUTE WHERE MY THREE MAIN TEACHERS FURTHER FANNED THE FLAME OF YOGA. OVER THE YEARS THOUGH, MANY OTHER AMAZING TEACHERS, PEERS AND STUDENTS HAVE CAST THEIR LIGHT ALONG THE PATH OF MY INTERNAL LANDSCAPE. INSPIRATIONS TOO MANY TO NAME HERE, BUT FEEL FREE TO ASK ME.
THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOUR CLASS.
ENGAGING, LIGHTHEARTED, AND FEARLESS!
