Marita was a gymnast from a young age and realised early on that she’s happiest upside-down. When she found yoga it was love at first Downward Dog, and nearly 20 years after that first class she still finds joy within each practice.

She began teaching yoga in 2002 after apprenticing with her first teacher, and since then she has completed around 2000 hours of training. Marita teaches alignment-based vinyasa, acroyoga, yin, and restorative yoga. She leads yoga workshops, retreats and teacher training courses, and offers one-on-one mentoring to yoga teachers.
