Mariana recently earned her 200-hour yoga certification in the Vinyasa and Hatha traditions through Yoga East+West in Bali. Her passion for yoga grew out of practicing ballet for 16 years and her yoga style remains heavily influenced by the grace and discipline she learned through ballet. Mariana strives to inspire others to recognize their unique gifts and talents, honor their bodies, and remember “life is tough but so are you.” Outside of yoga, Mariana works in healthcare consulting and enjoys spending quality time with her golden retriever pup, Roxie!
