Marcela is versed in the rhythms of the body expressed in the precise movement of dance, and her teaching and yoga practice are a combination of hard-earned technique and finding joy in every moment.

Marcela began formal movement training at the age of 10 in classical ballet. She continued her conservatory education at LaGuardia High School for Performing Arts (you know, ‘Fame’ school…) and earned her BFA in Dance Performance from SUNY Purchase College. She performed professionally across the US and in Spain, but it was when she found hot yoga, or maybe when hot yoga found her, that she was home. Hot yoga helped Marcela recover from injuries accrued during dance, work and sports, and she now makes a career of guiding others on their own paths of discovery and healing through yoga.

Find yourself ready to practice in one of Marcela’s classes and you will be met with a teaching style driven by technique, fueled by adrenaline and tempered by compassion.
