Meet Marlies
Hi, I'm Marlies, a dedicated and experienced yoga teacher. I offer a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for students to explore their yoga practice. My classes are grounded in a trauma-sensitive approach, and I strive to make them as accessible and inclusive as possible. I bring a unique approach to yoga that blends traditional postures with Pilates-inspired movements to create a dynamic and challenging practice.

About Me.
Personally and professionally, I subscribe to the belief that every individual has unique needs and conditions that should be met with a safe environment and tailored support. My classes range from gentle to vigorous, emphasizing the importance of trauma sensitivity, bodily agency, and compassionate mindfulness. I teach from an anti-dogmatic perspective, where individuality and self-expression are prized. Together, we cultivate a sense of community, where everyone gets to feel heard, held and cared for along their journey with yoga.
Born right smack dab in the middle of Niagara and decidedly remained in the region with pride and appreciation. I grew up figure skating somewhat competitively which informed my desire to teach people how to connect and better be with their bodies for ultimate wellness.
What you can expect
I will inherently encourage you to cultivate and nurture trust within yourself.
My professional passions lie within cultivating safe environments, practices that are accessible and connecting to you on a human level.
My main goal as a teacher to anyone is
to help you feel closer to yourself.
I offer a modestly-paced class,
creatively composed with a heavy
influence from pilates.
My hope is that you leave feeling
more connected with a sense of
caring loyalty to your sweet self.
Mostly, I hope you find opportunity to smile,
to feel at home and to feel cared for.
