Marita is a yoga student, teacher and teacher trainer based in Byron Bay, Australia. She began teaching yoga in 2002 and has been leading teacher training courses since 2014. Marita is passionate about helping yoga teachers develop their skills through continuing education and mentoring. Her teaching style promotes resilience, wellbeing and empowerment.

Marita has trained extensively and has a wide variety of teaching experience. Rather than being devoted to a specific lineage of yoga, she draws on inspiration from numerous styles of yoga and other types of movement, and adapts practices to suit individual students. Her teaching is also informed by her current studies in Occupational Therapy.

She blends the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern research – Marita is knowledgeable about anatomy and is guided by current theories and evidence-based practice. One of her strengths as a teacher trainer is her ability to make complex topics accessible and applicable. She has contributed to WellBeing and Australian Yoga Life magazines.

Marita holds a Bachelor of Media, Master of Arts in International Communications, and Certificate IV and Training & Assessment. She’s currently studying for a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy. When she’s not practising or teaching yoga she’s outdoors, training in aerials silks, rock climbing or spending time with her dog Jimmy.

“Marita is my favourite yoga teacher ever. There is something about her style, warmth and tone of voice that creates a sense of safety and ease.”
