Rise Yoga Retreats: 7 Days of Pure Yoga Bliss
Opening to Grace, Balance, and Personal Transformation
Join Mara for 7 days of yoga bliss in the wonderland of Haramara, known as a Mecca for personal rejuvenation and a sanctuary for the soul. Open to grace, find inner balance and transform from the inside out. Deepen your yoga experience with morning meditation, two daily yoga sessions, and learn about The Chakra System (energy body), Pranayama (breathing techniques), and Yoga philosophy. All classes led in a stunning open air pavilion with an ocean backdrop. Three gourmet meals per day. Cabanas are located close to the yoga pavilion, spacious rooms, private bath, outdoor shower, breath taking ocean and mountain vista's.
Mara discovered Yoga sixteen years ago while doing a B.A. in cultural history. Her curiosity for a deeper understanding of yoga led her to India where she studied with many great teachers. Since then, Yoga has been the most poignant, transformative, and informative force in her life.
Mara received her yoga certification through Trinity Yoga and continues to be inspired by her long-term teacher and friend, Mary-Jo Fetterly. Her teaching practice draws from several traditions: Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Anusara, Shamanic Medicine, Authentic Movement, Contact Dance, Pilates, and Release Technique. Mara's sense of artistry and professional dance background contributes to the design of her class through dynamic flow, joy, playfulness, grace, strength, and vitality. She encourages her students to move "from the inside out"; drawing upon true awareness of body alignment, breathe work, and commitment on the mat.
Mara's vision is to make
yoga accessible to all students, from beginners to advanced, designing
a class that contributes to the awareness of each student's unique form
of expression.
Mara is the director of Rise Yoga in Vancouver, British Columbia where
she teaches in corporate offices, at conferences, in studio’s, on film
sets, and offers private sessions. Mara has taught yoga
internationally, and this past year has been working with Lululemon,
leading yoga, meditation, and personal development sessions to their
executive team and at their global conferences.

Haramara and treasuring them in my soul- I gained alot and released
alot and feel quite incredible & peaceful.
