Marisa Zink, RYT 500

Marisa is passionate about teaching yoga and helping people practice yoga in a way that is appropriate for them. She learned traditional hatha yoga, the teachings of Krishnamacharya, from Mark Whitwell, and she completed the Moksha Yoga Teacher

Training in Canada with Ted Grand, Jessica Robertson, Frank Jude Boccio, Dr. Laurier-Pierre Desjardins, and Michael Stone. Marisa is also a student of Ana Forrest, and has completed the Forrest Yoga Teacher Training.

She was born and raised on Vancouver Island, in Beautiful British Columbia, where her mother first introduced her to yoga as a young child. At age three she began a study of classical ballet, and later various other forms of dance. She was reintroduced to the practice of yoga as a young adult, and it has remained a big part of her life ever since.

Marisa understands that through asana practice, by remaining connected to breath and the flow of her thoughts, she is relaxed and at peace, she can better accept life’s challenges as they arise, and best of all, enjoy the beauty and wonder of life. With the death of her dear father, Marisa found clarity and courage to fully pursue a path of service in holistic health.

Besides a background in the performing arts, her education extends to undergraduate studies in Psychology and fourteen years of yoga studies. Marisa is deeply grateful for life, for her loved ones, and for all her teachers.
