Why am I a Yogini?
After starting yoga as a way to rehab a badly broken arm in 2013, I realised the potential of a dedicated practice. I took a Traditional Hatha Yoga Teacher Training course in India in 2016, with the simple intention of deepening my own practice, but the experience and knowledge gained was so wonderful, I decided to share what little I knew with whoever was interested! I strongly believe teaching yoga is about giving back to the community, and for that reason, donate a portion of my earnings to a different charity every quarter. Since I began teaching, I have worked with charities in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Tanzania, India and Australia. Yoga teaches me how to use my energy wisely, and provides rest and comfort when needed.
Teaching Style
I enjoy teaching Hatha and Restorative Yoga, and also teach ‘fitness category’ classes such as Yoga for Athletes. I incorporate mindful movement into many of my classes, as I believe it can lead to a greater understanding and application of more traditional yoga postures.Looking towards the future, I would like to pursue more specialised training in Yin yoga, yoga for children and massage therapy. I am also keen to work with children with learning difficulties and with people in prisons.

MARISSA SEE
Yoga Teacher (Cover Teacher)
Marissa trained as a doctor in London, and completed her 200hr YTT in Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow in Goa. She has a love for the holistic practice of yoga and discovered the joy of sharing her practice with others through the YTT. She started Karma Yoga - Giving Back, with the intention of reminding us of the inter-connectedness of things and to practice gratitude in our daily lives. All proceeds received by Karma Yoga goes fully to charity, allowing us to give back to others through our yoga practice, in appreciation of our own blessings in life.
Her teaching style incorporates instructions to fully understand the alignment and intended benefits of each pose to help us practice with a deeper connection to our body and reduce potential for injury. A self-acknowledged ‘stiff yogi’, she hopes to debunk the misconception that you need to be ‘flexible’ to practice yoga. Yoga is less about how you look in a pose and all about how you feel.
