I’m so happy that I decided to do a yoga retreat with Marissa. She is the best! I was searching for a yoga or mindfulness retreat in Moshi and I found Marissa online. She put together a 2-day private retreat for me, suitable for my budget. She even helped me arranging other activities to do in Moshi, and she took me to her familiy-in-law for a traditional Tanzanian cooking class. The location of the retreat was great: amazing views, lovely people and delicious food. Marissa customized the yoga classes for me, considering my foot injury. And she helped me perfectioning my yoga poses. I learned a lot form her and after the retreat I felt relaxed and full of new energy. I would highly recommend to do a retreat or a yoga lesson with Marissa when you’re in Mohsi. Thank you so much Marissa!

Marissa’s yoga retreat was the perfect beginning to a new year! Marissa created a retreat that was not only asana and physicality of the practice, but she taught and emphasized the importance of stillness, meditation, and reflection. I was able to sit down and not only look ahead to the new year, but also reflect and come to terms with the past year’s ups and downs. The retreat helped me to slow down, find rest, and re-energize for the coming year. Thank you for an amazing yoga retreat!

I spent an incredible weekend at Marissa’s yoga retreat. There was so much thought put into each day, offering layers of experience and learning. Her yoga classes are so perfectly paced and give opportunity for fun too. I would highly recommend joining her on retreat whenever and however you can

Marissa differentiates her lessons so that I feel challenged but never discouraged or overwhelmed. These are by far the best yoga sessions I’ve ever attended for both my body and my mind. She sets an atmosphere in any space, and this has really improves the experience for me; I get easily distracted or bored in yoga sessions and this doesn’t happen in Marissa’s. These sessions really are unusually special!
