MARISSA ROSE

YOUR TEACHER

Marissa has studied the wisdom tradition of yoga with world renowned  teachers in trainings across the globe. Her teaching lineage stems from hatha, kundalini, yoga psychology, vinyasa, mindfulness-based stress reduction and tantra.

Growing up influenced by her Grateful Dead loving hippie parents, she designed Process ~ a methodology which moves students through static and dynamic yoga postures driven by the beat of music, the pulse of your breath & highly curated playlists for a soul-opening experience.

Marissa fell in love with the practices of self-discovery & yoga 11 years ago after taking one yoga class in college. As a young ballerina, she immediately fell in love with the dynamic movement that yoga offered and the ritual-based practices that came along with it. After one class, she was hooked and began her first 200 hour yoga teacher training the following week.

She’s since completed two 200 hour yoga teacher trainings, her 300 hour yoga teacher training in Yoga Psychology with Ashley Turner, advanced yoga teacher training with Justin Reilly, has studied Jon Kabat Zinn’s buddhism influenced mindfulness based stress reduction meditation program, and completed her masters degree in organizational leadership and executive coaching.

She’s been a certified holistic life coach for 7 years and is currently being privately mentored under world renowned yoga teacher, Elena Brower. In 2023 she completed a 60 hour meditation & the mind course with global Kundalini Yoga Teacher, Kia Miller.

Marissa has taught over 3,000 hours of yoga, has led 11 yoga teacher trainings, was a lululemon Ambassador in Philadelphia, traveled and led 3 international retreats, and taught yoga classes for the Eagles players for their 2022 season.

She currently lives in New Mexico and is the founder of The Well Studio, where hundreds of students are tapping into their own wellbeing, self-discovery, and body-mind wisdom on their yoga mats.

WORDS FROM OUR COMMUNITY

“The personal evolution I witnessed within myself and within my fellow students in the program was immeasurable. I can remember the moment I realized it all changed for me was after the trauma-informed lecture. I texted my best friend and said ‘I found my purpose tonight.’ It wasn’t the postures or the meditations, it was realizing how I can truly impact and change people’s lives just with the words I use and the way I hold space for them.”

kelly w.

“I feel like I walked away from this training with so many great insights & I feel like my learning cup is full to the brim. I didn't realize how much I was missing these containers of trainings and community and I got everything that I needed from it. I'm feeling so much more confident as a teacher and so much more confident in myself."

kelly s.

“I love how deeply we went into our personal and spiritual lives in this training. It was so much more than just the yoga.”
