Marisa Zink, RYT 500

Marisa is passionate about teaching yoga and helping people find a practice that is inspiring, challenging, and appropriate for them. She has completed the Moksha Yoga Teacher Training, directed by Ted Grand and Jessica Robertson, including senior teachers Rev. Frank Jude Boccio, Dr. Laurier-Pierre Desjardins, and Michael Stone, and has studied traditional hatha yoga with Mark Whitwell, the teachings of Krishnamacharya. Marisa is also very influenced by 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 and meditation as a young adult, and it has remained a big part of her life ever since. As a means of keeping the mind and body relaxed, cleansed, and fit, yoga has helped remind Marisa that remaining connected to breath and the flow of her thoughts, keeps her available and aware of the precious gifts that exist in the present moment. 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. Namasté
