Marja Wilson

Her experience, passion, and sense of humor keeps her approach to teaching light and easy going. Her combination of alignment based body dynamics and awareness of the breath is a balanced practice mind/body connection on the mat and carried into daily life. What her students experience are a range of benefits each individual explores in their own way. From gaining, strength, flexibility, and balance, to a relaxed sense of well-being, Marja’s foundation of asana, pranayama and meditation are a delight.

In conjunction with teaching college level courses in health and fitness, she’s shared the wisdom of yoga with special populations and participated in many community programs around the Washington DC area. She writes yoga related articles for Yoga+Life and Om Magazines. Her travels to India and her studies there served to enrich her passion of the mind/body connection and in 2012, she was invited back to India as a guest speaker at the World Peace Conference in Mysore, India. Marja moved to Colorado with her husband and thoroughly enjoys Rocky Mountain living. You’ll find her skiing, hiking, biking and running as well as volunteering at the local horse rescue.
