About
My name is Marilyn and I am a Yoga and Meditation teacher.
I am also a Veterinarian and a university student, starting a Master of Environment in 2024. I love animals, yellow flowers, and getting out in nature.
I grew up in Cairns, North Queensland, and moved to Brisbane to study Veterinary Science at the University of Queensland, graduating with Honours in 2005. While veterinary work is rewarding, it can also be very stressful. After experiencing severe stress, anxiety, and depression, I became suicidal. Sadly, veterinarians are up to four-times more likely than the general population to suicide. I sought professional help and began practicing yoga and meditation to manage stress. This personal journey inspired me to share the benefits of yoga and meditation with others.
My yoga journey began as a physical practice of making shapes with my body, but it soon evolved into a holistic practice that positively affected my mind, body, and spirit. The practice of yoga and meditation helped me find balance and peace, and I felt called to share this gift with others.
When I started yoga, I was intimidated by the idea of flexibility and advanced postures. I soon learned that yoga is about finding what works for you, regardless of body shape, age, or fitness level. My goal is to make yoga accessible to everybody, helping you take its benefits off the mat and into your daily life. Yoga can help calm the body and mind, improve mood and concentration, increase flexibility, strength, balance, and mobility.
Come with an open mind, let go of expectations, and experience the transformative power of yoga.
See you on the mat.

I have attended many yoga classes with Marilyn both online and in studio. Her classes are always filled with such variety which I love. From the relaxed, calming asanas to the more advanced and challenging poses. Marilyn has a wealth of knowledge and is very encouraging during practise. She always has a calm and positive approach during class, I always leave feeling totally energised and with my mind at peace. If you want a yoga instructor who really helps you to reconnect your mind and body to feel grounded, I highly recommend Marilyn.

During the initial stages of the global pandemic I wanted to incorporate yoga into my self care routine. I found Marilyn’s online yoga classes to be just what I needed at the time. It was a warm inviting place where I could move and nurture my mind and body to support me throughout my day and into my life. I highly recommend you give her classes a go.
