“A Yogi is one who makes an effort.” Marissa believes that if you choose to show up to practice yoga—whether it’s flowing through poses or simply rolling out your mat—you’re doing an amazing job.

Marissa discovered yoga at a leadership workshop when she was 11 and instantly fell in love with the practice. From occasional yoga classes with her mom to exploring yoga further during college, her journey deepened when she moved to Louisville, KY, in 2016. She completed her Yoga East Teacher Training in October 2020 and has been sharing her passion for yoga ever since.

Her classes combine Hatha and Vinyasa styles, blending strength-building foundations with graceful, creative flows. Expect a practice that is both grounding and uplifting, designed to help you find balance and calm in the midst of life’s busyness.

In August 2024, Marissa welcomed her first child, an experience that deepened her appreciation for finding peace in a world of constant activity. She understands the value of yoga as a tool for cultivating calmness and connection, both on and off the mat.

When she’s not teaching or practicing yoga, Marissa enjoys spending time with her family, curling up with a good book, diving into an engaging podcast, or savoring a great cup of coffee.
