"I met Marina in 2015 in Italy when she was part of a core group delivering yoga teachers training and retreats. I was working alongside her and I was instantly taken by her energy and her willingness to make that human connection with others. Marina is so humble with all her knowledge, intelligence and practical application to life and day-to-day situations. She can connect with people from all walks of life and her humour and sense of lightness, and attention to detail is something that I believe at her retreats you will truly appreciate."
"I spent a lovely week with Marina in Crete on June. She’s a fantastic yoga teacher with a perfect view on everybody of us. We had great yoga time, dynamic in the morning and slow yin in the afternoon. We did some meditation together and in the evening Marina’s friend Paco played some music for us or with us and we were singing all together like on a private concert with the view of the ocean. At least I went back home with a lot of good energy and force."
"Marina and Paco created an amazing atmosphere, where we all felt very comfortable and safe! The overview from the location (Casa Doria) is absolutely incredible, which made me feel very connected to the nature. It’s a remoted place and it takes 1,5 h from Heraklion airport. The agenda was filled with a lots of meditation, yoga lessons (yin or vinyasa), live concerts from Paco, singing and workshops. Everything was very well prepared. I mostly liked the yoga lessons in the mornings - I learned a lot from Marina, also I found my motivation to do a yoga training one day! Marina is a very warm-hearted, inspiring and caring person. She has a very positive and kind way of interacting with people - but both, Paco and Marina are full of inner peace and loving kindness :) I am very thankful for meeting them both! Definitely would recommend and come back again!"
"Emozioni ed energia si sono fuse nei tre giorni di ritiro yogico presso la Casa Rossa creando un meraviglioso equilibrio tra corpo - mente e spirito grazie alla professionalità empatia passione ed entusiasmo profuse dalla nostra insegnante Marina. Esperienza unica."
"マリーナ先生とのヨガレッスンは呼吸に意識をしながら動きのある内容でした。身体が気持ち良くほぐれてリラックスできストレス解消できました。初心者でしたが安心してできました。呼吸が浅くなっていたのでレッスンを通してグランディングできた感じを得られエネルギーが湧いてきました。次の日もスッキリしまたカチカチの身体が4回目ぐらいからほぐれて来ているのを実感しました。続けてやっていこうと思います。"
" have found the yoga classes with Marina in Goa more than two years ago and since then she became my favourite yoga teacher and source of inspiration for my personal practice (to be honest, only after practicing with her I start to do something by myself even though I’ve tried a lot of courses and styles before). It’s always a very balanced and empowering practice, always with some new interesting details and discoveries and great warm-hearted attention. Love you Marina! It’s a real blessing to practice with you!"
"Caring - Challenging –Charismatic. To practice Yoga with Marina is great for beginners and for advanced Yogis. She takes care of your personal needs and possibilities. There is always an option so everybody can feel satisfied and whole after practice. She always finds a way to give you the opportunity to grow in your practice from healing meditation to powerful Vinyasa flow. But most of all she is a beautiful soul and the best friend you are able to find in the Yoga world. Thanks Marina for guiding us. Love."
