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.
