MORNING RETREAT
'Opening to Grace'
Yoga, Brunch & Soundbath
Sunday 12th May, 09.30AM - 1.30PM
"When energy is moving freely and in a balanced way, all body structures are in communication with each other. This state may be reached through meditation, yoga, singing or dancing. When a spontaneous free flow of energy and mind-body integration are accessed, there is an awareness that encompasses mind, body and feeling in totality and transcends all distinctions. From that, may emerge the experience of spirit, or pure consciousness."
Linda Hartley, 'Wisdom of the Body Moving'
Join me for this day retreat where I invite you to soften, into your fluid state of being, where everything can flow, where life can become unstuck, where you can meet yourself, in liquid form, an open channel, an embodied river of knowledge & insight, open to receiving, open to releasing, open to being with it all, moving in one direction only - here, now.
- A morning of embodiment, yoga & somatic release:
a blend of 'Authentic Flow' & 'Shake the Dust', including mantra & meditation
- Followed by a nourishing lunch & time to connect:
catered by my fabulous retreat chef friend Chloe ('Adventures of a Nomadic Chef')
- Closing with a Sound Bath:
with the talented Rachel from 'Calm in the City'
About Me
Hi, I'm Marie. I've been teaching yoga full time since I moved to Norwich in 2019 after completing my first yoga teacher training in India in 2018. Since then I have continued to further my training in various disciplines of yoga and I am grateful to have grown a fantastic local community of students who support and enjoy my work.
In 2020, I started my studies in Yoga Therapy with The Minded Institute in London. I graduated from the 580HR Yoga Therapy Diploma in January 2023, and I now share Yoga Therapy in Norwich and online with individuals, groups, charities and organisations seeking a holistic and integrated mind-body approach to health and wellbeing.
Read more about Yoga Therapy here.
I am a forever student, and constantly studying and expanding my knowledge and capacity to share yoga and practices which are therapeutic, healing, empowering and accessible to everyone.
I currently share Yoga & Yoga Therapy in the form of public yoga classes and private yoga therapy sessions. I work with local charities and organisations, offering group sessions to support their users. These groups support issues such as addiction & recovery, mental health and isolation, domestic violence.
I also offer general wellbeing classes in the workplace to local corporate companies, and online.
Interested in working together? Get in touch.

Inspired by my 300HR studies with the school of Authentic Flow.
"Authentic Flow is a somatic approach to movement through which we listen, taste, see, feel, inquire and learn to embody our bodies as a living, feeling and exploring creative process of becoming."
Moving with the intention of cultivating a deeper connection to 'self' and understanding of the felt sense of the body, learning to listen and respond to the internal language of the body through careful guidance and somatic explorations of yoga asana.
We explore yoga philosophy (from the View of classical non-dual tantra) from an embodied perspective, meaning we explore it from within the experiential playground of the body.
These classes prioritise giving you agency over your body and choices. Classes are trauma sensitive and available to all 'levels' of practitioners.
Shake the Dust Classes
Monthly Saturdays
9.30-11AM
Happy OM Yoga Studio
'Shake the Dust' is a somatic release class of shaking, jumping, perpetual movements, yoga and free movement.
It's like HIIT for yogis... but deep... and spiritual.
Join me on this journey between perpetual movement~rest~release, guided by a carefully curated soudscape.
The class is a sequence of lifting & lowering, designed to build nervous system resilience and help expand your window of tolerance. As well as creating a space to explore freedom in movement and self-expression as a form of release.
This class is for anyone and everyone, including those looking to manage anxiety &/or depression, recovering from trauma or health conditions such as CFS, long-covid, burnout - anything that has thrown your NS out of whack and left you feeling out of balance.
Great tools & strategies for managing your mental health and emotional wellbeing. Guided and held with care by Marie who is professionally trained & well-equipped to support you.
