| As a young child, Marti was afflicted with scoliosis,
a lateral curvature of the spine. Hence, yoga was prescribed to heal a possibly
debilitating condition. Over many years of dedication to her own yoga practice,
the condition was completely cured. Through this experience she saw how transformational
yoga can be for the Physical Self. From very early on,
she knew that her life's work would be dedicated to the healing sciences. Her
intense curiosities about human physiology led her into professions including
the fields of Neurological Health Care, Cardiovascular Medicine, and Sports Medicine
Rehabilitation. At this time, she had the forethought that there would be an explosion
in the field of Alternative Medicine. Thus she pursued earning the appropriate
credentials to begin instructing yoga on a part-time basis. In 1994 she created
her company, The Yoga Solution. Realizing the importance of
the cultural influences and historical lineage of yoga, she decided to travel
and study abroad. Included in her global adventures were the Hawaiian Islands,
Fiji, India, Brazil and Nepal. These diverse cultural experiences added a new
dimension to her already unique style of teaching. 
Instruction Marti teaches Vinyasa
Yoga, a form of yoga in which a sequence of asanas are linked to complement one
another. This style of yoga often resembles a choreographed dance. Different than
other yoga professionals, this instructor offers a unique artistic experience.
Each class is individually choreographed and set to music, making each class one
of a kind. It has been said that no other class has such theatrical flair. Each
feels as if they are part of a beautiful dance. Today, her
teaching has expanded into a new maturity. At the beginning of her yoga journey,
it was only a method of attaining physical well being and increased athleticism.
However, to her delight, she has found that yoga is also a vehicle to heal the
human mind and spirit. This powerful aspect of yoga, blended with Marti's incredible
creativity now brings a true integration of body, mind and spirit into her interpretation
of Hatha yoga. If you are interested in a class, visit the
classes page for her current schedule. Marti's expertise also encompasses specially
designed private instruction for those who are rehabilitating from an injury,
pregnant, or experiencing chronic stress. Please contact Marti for more specific
information on private yoga sessions.
