MY STORY

Hello, I am Marietta, the founder of ‘Yoga with Marietta’.

I can be defined as a teacher, a student, a mum, a researcher, an artist and a former architect - nice to meet you!

How my passion for yoga has shaped my path

I am a certified yoga and meditation teacher, undertaking indepth studies in Yoga Therapy and working towards a Yoga Master Certification.

Beginnings

I started my yoga journey in 2015, when I signed up for my first Iyengar yoga classes with my best friend Alex from university (who is now also teaching yoga in Scotland: Patchouli Yoga).

Deciding to teach yoga

Since then, my yoga experience expanded through different styles, teachers, countries. After one of our yoga reunion retreats with Alex, I came to an understanding that I would like to become a yoga teacher.

Learning everything!

In December 2024, I certified with my first core yoga teacher training of 200h.

Since then, I continued in depth studies into 100h of Yin Yoga with an ongoing fascination.

I certified with 200h meditation course, and I am in progress of completing 300h in meditation. My research extended vastly into the world of Yoga Nidra and deep relaxation techniques.

Yoga therapy

As my education continued, I found myself searching for resources and understanding of the world of wellness - how to prevent certain illnesses/diseases, how to aid recovery. I found what I was looking for in Yoga Therapy. This multi- year course includes: dealing with trauma; Ayurvedic practices and diet; and helps with understanding ways of helping people feel better - physically and emotionally, working alongside modern medicine.

Where I am now

All of my combined trainings and interests above, form a clear working framework for me - to offer wellbeing to my students. During and after my yoga classes, I share Ayurvedic and yogic knowledge beyond the mat - offering ways to live happily, healthly and making this not-so-easily accessible yogic and Ayurvedic knowledge - very accessible.

My classes are well thought through, designed to work specific areas of the body - be it muscles, bones, connective tissue, the mind - giving reasons for each movement. Everything is adapted for everyone - yoga is accessible for everyone.

It would be a pleasure if you joined my classes.
