Marianne discovered the countless benefits of yoga and meditation around 2003, and has enjoyed practicing and learning ever since.  Marianne has worked as a Pediatric Physical Therapist Assistant servicing Children with Npecial needs since 1999.   She was trained as a Children’s Yoga Teacher in January of 2014 with Kidding Around Yoga, and began teaching Children at Blue Pearl Yoga Studio in Batavia, NY.  In July of 2014, she furthered her training with Radiant Child Yoga, then completed her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training with Radiant Child/Family Yoga.  She also trained with Zensational Kids, and was honored to implement their Educate 2-B program as well as a weekly yoga program for the 2014/15 school year at KidStart Preschool in Livingston County. Marianne enjoys teaching Kids, Adult, and Family Yoga Classes.

In November of 2015, Marianne became the new proprioter of Blue Pearl Yoga, and enjoys connecting with the local, vibrant community in Batavia and the surrounding areas.  She feels that the studio is a natural place for peaceful people to connect.

In September of 2016, Marianne was trained as a Labyrinth Facilitator through  Veriditas. She discovered, from participating in labyrinth walks herself, that there is a great amount of tools for comtemplation and personal growth.

Marianne recently took the Step 1: Ground Yourself In Children’s Yoga, and is excited to bring this awesome curriculum to her community.  It brings her great joy to share her unique experience and training with anyone who has a curiosity about the blissful, peaceful side of life.
