Marianne Schmidt

Teacher

Mari (Marianne) Schmidt is a yoga teacher, massage therapist and the founder of “Soul Treats: Holistic Yoga, Massage and Bodywork”.

Mari has a colourful, full-spectrum background. Coming from a large German family of seven, she was born in India and raised peripatetically. Through her many unusual hardships, Mary has been endowed with a deep sense of gratitude and passion for life.

In 2004, Mari discovered yoga at the moment she needed it most, immediately noticing the transformational effects of a regular yoga practice. Not long after, she was invited to expand into teaching.

She has been a dedicated teacher since, choosing to undertake extensive yoga training to continuously evolve as a teacher, a mother, a friend and, ultimately, as herself.

Her background as a traveler, performer, dancer and bodyworker seamlessly melt together to embellish her yogic philosophy: "Yoga as a holistic journey, derived from a strong foundation in anatomy, inclusivity, yogic education, musical passion

and spirituality."

Mari's teaching style varies from free, loud and wild to controlled, quiet and introspective, with consistent attention to breath, healthy alignment and strong emotional values, emphasising acceptance, softness and surrender as strengths.

She specialises in classical vinyasa Hatha, vinyasa flow, anatomy-focused core and back yoga, as well as restorative yoga.

Marianne also hosts sustainable yoga retreats valuing organic, vegetarian and

vegan cuisine and organises massage spaces at music festivals such as Garbicz

Festival.

Join her with the permission to arrive as you are—in light or dark or in total control

or complete surrender.
