I am fascinated by and never cease to study the human anatomy and the connection between the psyche and the physical. 
I love my work - both teaching yoga and treating my clients - professionally since 2009.

Taping into many methods of body work, I treat holistically by aligning the physical body with the aim of restoring balance on the emotional and energetical levels. 

Breath is a guide in all my work.

  • Through dedicating my time and energy towards developing both the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga and massage therapy, I offer my clients a channel to experience loving kindness with a healing touch. 

    All my treatments are flowing, slow, deep, and deeply relaxing, soft or strong, self-accepting.

    I now trust my hands even more than ever to listen to and assist my clients in rediscovery their own vitality, regaining health and well being.

    About me

    I, Marianne Schmidt, best known as Mari (pronounced Mary) have a colorful, full-spectrum background. Coming from a large German family of seven, I was born in India and raised peripatetically. Through experiencing several unusual hardships, I have been driven towards a passion for life with a deep sense of gratitude.

    I spent many wild years traveling the globe from Australia to Asia to Argentina, living a life through music, dance and performance. I amusingly refer to Fusion Festival as my home town - the only place in the world that I have returned to year after year, have watched develop and assisted in the development of the culture cosmos.

    At the impressive age of 13, I discovered a natural talent for massage. Overwhelming at times, I seemed to be able to listen to the body on a metaphysical level. The need to enhance my mental capacity brought me to study anatomy and physiology. It’s been an intriguing journey: learning intricate medical knowledge, then let the mind go and listen with the heart and hands - combining both disciplines makes my work deep, meaningful and healing.

    During my pregnancy when I discovered a need to nest, I moved to Berlin in 2015. I also discovered that my body needed a different lifestyle than what I was used to, which brought me to my first yoga teacher training. Since then I have done multiple trainings and have been teaching with even more bio-mechanical knowledge, passion and pleasure than ever.

    My nomadic past assists me in hosting yoga retreats and organizing massage spaces at music festivals.

    Join me with the permission to arrive as you are—in light or dark or in total control or complete surrender.
