Marcela has been practicing yoga since the mid-nineties. Growing up in Mexico city and relocating to the USA and then Europe in her twenties, she's experienced continuous changed stress though out her adult life.
When she began practicing yoga it gave her a sense of belonging in an ever changing world, and this brought her peace and joy.
Inspired by one of her very first yoga teachers, Marcela finally decided to sign-up for a yoga TT in 2013. This training, back in Denmark where she lived at the moment, opened up for a whole new set of inspiration which ultimately would motivate her to become a yoga instructor in 2015.
She moved to the USA in 2015, where she's been teaching and still practices since then. In late spring 2017 she signed up to continue her yoga education with Jennifer Prugh. She has already completed the first part of JOY of yoga's 500 hr TT, namely 120 hr TT, and is in the process of completing the remains hours.
Marcela is married and a proud mom of two, loves hiking, loves animals and to do what is within her control to take care of our environment. She lives in Los Gatos, Ca and often travels to visit her parents and sister in Mexico and the rest of the family on Denmark.
