Kari Marble Yoga, Meditation and Massage — Local services in San Francisco

Kari is a truly gifted healer, and her work spans multiple modalities and levels of depth. What unifies all her work is a profound sense of care. I first met Kari in the context of prenatal bodywork and massage. I am so grateful for the positive impact she has had in my life. After a massage with Kari, I always feel like I am starting fresh. She has incredible, strong hands, and I trust her so thoroughly that I can really relax. I had a car accident during my pregnancy, and Kari was integral to my recovery. Her integration of massage, craniosacral therapy, and Reiki helped me to heal from the trauma and embrace an empowered birth and postpartum experience. She is professional, intuitive, and deeply respectful. Her coaching for labor/delivery transformed how I approached giving birth to my second baby compared to my first before I met Kari. The mantras, breathwork, and visualizations we practiced together played an essential role in navigating a medically complex labor. Despite the birth being challenging “on paper,” I was able to stay brave and connected in the moment to my baby and my own body and self - all thanks to Kari’s coaching. I have also enjoyed participating in Kari’s prenatal and postnatal yoga classes, which are truly exceptional. They have been a tremendous source of community and encouragement. In addition, her online breathwork and meditation courses are flexible and offer a great support for staying grounded and exploring mindfulness as a mother of small children. As a teacher, she tailors her approach to meet the individual where they are at in the moment, adapting breathing exercises to be safe for pregnancy and adjusting yoga positions for changing peripartum bodies. She incorporates “baby yoga” in the postpartum yoga class, which has been an absolute delight for my baby (and inquisitive toddler). Her graceful and compassionate approach to teaching baby yoga has changed how I interact with my kids and encouraged me to incorporate them in my home yoga practice. Kari is genuine, brilliant, curious, and kind - a formidable presence. As you can see, I have nothing but love and admiration for Kari and feel profoundly grateful for the ways she has...

Kari is an incredibly gifted massage therapist and healer; she is intuitive and skilled at co-creating a sacred energetic container for one to go deep. I've had bodywork with other amazing practitioners, who left me relaxed and helped me release muscle tension and stress. However, my sessions with Kari have gone beyond deep tissue release and into subtler layers of my being. She integrates Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki and massage in a way that encourages an unwinding of my nervous system and a clearing of mental fog. I feel a profound trust in her that allows me to let go and surrender so completely that I feel as though generations of holding and patterns are shifting and being healed. When I leave my time with her, I feel like a renewed being - clear, open and strong. I highly recommend Kari if you are looking for a healing experience that offers you access to this...

I've taken prenatal yoga classes with Kari during all 3 of my pregnancies, and have also taken infant massage classes with her and when she had a class with partners around labor/giving birth. She is absolutely wonderful. I appreciate her energy, knowledge, and ability to help support you in the moment. I always walked away from her classes feeling better and stronger both physically and mentally. I also see her for massages and can't say enough great things about her. I appreciate her skill at understanding the body, and also her honestly in knowing when to refer to other medical providers as needed. She is an overall lovely human being...
