Experience the intelligent body that you are, in community.
Classes and practice retreats offer an opportunity to learn in community and meet others who are embodiment-minded. My goal is to create a supportive and playful experiential-learning atmosphere in which people feel comfortable to participate fully.
Customized classes and practice retreats also are available. You and your colleagues can learn self-care tools while re-filling your well and relaxing.
Contact Marla to talk about customized classes or practice retreats.

Rianda House in St. Helena, California
There is a natural flow that lives inside us, which also offers us a place to rest. Marla will lead a Springtime meditation at Rianda House in downtown St. Helena. Participants will be guided through a body-based meditation that supports us to open to a place of stability. And, to experience the natural still-point that allows things to move freely, and loosens our grip on the worries.
