Mariel has lived in Des Moines since 2007, shortly following graduation from the University of Iowa. Mariel has always been interested in fitness and mind, body, soul connection. She first took yoga classes in college. Following the birth of her first child, she received her yoga teaching certification (RYT 200 hr with Kris Hot Yoga). She also has obtained education in prenatal yoga. She has been teaching vinyasa and yin yoga for the past 8 years. Her focus is on breathing, pranayama, strengthening muscles, and finding a space to feel calm and intentional every time a yogi comes onto their mat. Outside of yoga, she loves to be with her family (husband, two boys and pup), travel, enjoy the awesome food scene in town, kayaking, and just generally getting out on those trails.
