With extensive experience in instructing group and private yoga sessions, Marlon always brings a challenge to the mat. He is best known for his feverous vinyasa flow and strengthening yoga classes. Intertwining breathing techniques into his practice while focusing on the mind, body and soul connection that can only come from perseverance and hard work, Marlon believes that yoga is everything. He says, “Yoga is medicine and the ultimate antidote”. Marlon has been practicing yoga since 2014 and after two years of being a student, he developed a love for yoga and decided to get his teaching certification. Marlon pursued his 200-hour YRT training so that he could share love and light throughout the community.” After leaving class, students take home a sense of freedom in their physical body. When you practice yoga, it helps eliminate tightness in the body. You can move freely, walk freely, and energy flows freely in the body. This is exactly the type of feeling that Marlon brings to the table every single class.
