Marthanna is very excited to fuse together two of her passions, yoga and kids!

At a very young age Marthanna’s parents introduced her to yoga, meditation and mindfulness but it wasn’t until 2006 while she was pregnant that she actually started practicing yoga on her mat. At first, the poses helped to alleviate any lower back and hip pain she was experiencing but she noticed that practicing yoga was helping her not just physically but also mentally and emotionally. She knew that the more she practiced, the more her consciousness awakened, bringing light and meaningfulness into every experience. Her practice continued to grow and after realizing how beneficial yoga was to her she wanted to share it with others. In 2015, Marthanna decided to train to become a teacher. She completed her 200 hour YTT at Johns Creek Yoga in August 2015 and is now a Registered Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance. She currently teaches yoga to adults (and loves it!) but is looking forward to the fun and excitement of teaching kids!

Marthanna is a mother of a ten-year-old and has witnessed the importance of children’s yoga with her own son. As a new graduate from Grounded, she wants to use her training at home, in schools, libraries and recreational centers. She believes strongly in serving her community and plans to do this by helping kids discover their full potential, paving the path to adulthood.
