Practicing with Marta has deepened my mind-body connection, and given me tools to take ‘off the mat’ in stressful or tense situations – how to breathe, how to show up fully present for other aspects of my life, how to feel good in my body as part of self-care! I’ve been taking her classes for nearly a decade now, and they are all-encompassing – invigorating, challenging, and relaxing. Her soothing voice and unique flow combinations give me the strength to stay grounded and nourished.

Marta’s energy and tone are calming. It helps me start off right so I can focus on me and my practice from the start of class. Marta’s classes are consistent with delivering a physical challenge. They consistently provide intelligently put together flows as well. I’m a busy guy and I can always count on Marta’s class to provide me with body alignment and a mental reset. The years of healing I’ve received in her classes and due to her tremendous effort to make class worth it is immeasurable.
On a more personal note, Marta’s classes and students always provided a safe space for me. I am an eccentric man with an eccentric practice. I recall a class where she quoted Pablo Picasso, “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.“ I’ll always believe that she shared that for me to not feel bad for being slightly distracting in class. For over a decade I learned the rules and I eventually developed a unique practice incorporating body movement that felt good to my body but didn’t always align with the person matted next to me. Marta’s classes attracted beautiful, inclusive, loving people who excepted me. I hope her class attracts you too.
