Marissa McNaughton
Marissa emphasizes a rhythmic flow between breath and movement. Her teaching is grounded yet playful, encouraging students to explore movements big and small, strong and subtle, as a way to energize and align the body, and to calm and focus the mind. She is inspired by a love of dance, music, sports, and a great appreciation for the beauty and rhythm of nature (especially the ocean!). Marissa hopes to help her students find peace in movement and in stillness, on and off the mat.
Marissa is trained in vinyasa flow through Mandala Yoga’s teacher training program, and teaches throughout the East End as well as for surf-yoga clinics and retreats. She thanks her many teachers, friends, and students who have inspired her yoga practice and teaching, and especially her mother for encouraging her to first set foot in a yoga studio.
