Hey yoga darling

Welcome Home to Yourself.

Come In

What it Means to Come Home

Coming home is feeling safe and free enough to lean back into oneself.

It is the practice of returning to what is loving, what is true.

To see. To allow. To accept.

To befriend yourself.

Yoga that brings you presence, taught through a trauma-sensitive and anatomy-informed lens, always attuned to your energy that day.
Meditation that tunes you inward and helps you care for your nervous system with simplicity and heart.
Reiki and trainings to help you connect with your own healing energy and attune to Life-Force energy for the healing of others.
Teacher trainings and online classes created with love, respect and curiosity for what’s real.
For nearly a decade, I’ve been guiding yoga and movement as a way of remembering what it means to come home to yourself. Healing always begins with awareness— with noticing how you meet your own body, your own breath, your own heart.
My work blends yoga, Pilates, and Reiki through a trauma-informed lens. Each practice is an invitation to listen, pay generous attention, and build rapport with the body so that your movement becomes conversation, not command.

About Marlies

Hey yoga darling,

I’m Marlies, a devoted and experienced yoga teacher with a deep love for movement, community, and creating spaces that feel safe enough to soften into.

Long before certifications or titles, my love of movement began on the ice as a competitive figure skater. Teaching became a natural extension of that practice, a way of translating awareness through the body. For the greater part of the last decade, I’ve taught full-time, deepening my studies and in 2023, took on the honour of leading the Yoga Teacher Training at White Oaks Club in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

My classes are grounded in a trauma-sensitive lens and blend traditional yoga postures with Pilates-inspired strength and fluidity.

Whether we’re moving slow or building heat, my intention is always the same: to offer a welcoming, inclusive space where you can explore your body with curiosity and care.

My Reiki journey on the other hand— began in 2012, born from
a deep curiosity about spirituality, intuition and healing from the subtle, energetic systems.

What started as an exclusively personal practice has grown into years of hands-on experience and quiet devotion.
