Marilyn began practicing yoga in 2003 after finding a new way to exercise and relieve stress.  It began with Iyengar Yoga and branched out to Jivamukti Yoga - which introduced her to the philosophy of yoga.  After years of a consistent yoga practice, life changes and health issues surfaced which took her off her mat.  She came back to yoga in 2017 when she began practicing at Firefly Yoga and her life shifted in a whole new direction. 

Marilyn is on the Bhakti Yoga path and loves studying Yoga Philosophy texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. She honors the traditions of Yoga while providing a safe and empowering space for anyone at any level and physical capability looking to discover something new about themselves on their mat.
