I started practicing with Marsha at Balance over a decade ago. Marsha has created a dynamic and friendly community where everyone is welcome—from absolute beginners to more experienced practitioners. Marsha is a knowledgeable and compassionate teacher who meets students where they are and then helps guide them to where they want to go in their practice. This is definitely not a one-size-fits-all studio or practice! Marsha has a deep understanding of anatomy and yoga philosophy and she provides thoughtful suggestions and adjustments tailored to a student’s individual practice. I can truthfully say that I have experienced some of the happiest and most fulfilling moments of my life with Marsha at Balance Yoga. I always look forward to practices with Marsha and my fellow Balance yogis. I would encourage absolutely anyone to give Ashtanga yoga a try with Marsha at Balance! You will be astonished by the positive effects even after the first practice, but even more so by the transformation that comes from a sustained...

She is always willing to help and not afraid to push you further, which is what someone like myself needs! Everyone is always so welcoming and they all give off positive vibes on the reg! Some days I wake up feeling very down, but the second I start my practice with Rebecca, I swear all my problems go away! I couldn't ask for a better yoga instructor or positive influence in my life! They have recently moved to a new location and the studio is fantastic, much bigger and so many more classes are offered. No matter who you are or what your reason for practicing yoga is, there is a class for you. Balance yoga gets 100...
