Insight from our past teacher trainees ~

“Marissa brings out the confidence and the teacher in you that you did not know you had.” - Gwen

“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

“Marissa has created an amazing community within The Well Studio. It’s clear that it was designed with much intention. There was never a time when I felt out of place or didn’t belong. Rather, this training was a space that fostered learning. All off the leaders in the training were able to provide great insight into being a successful yoga teacher and everyone in the training was incredibly supportive.”

- Wes A.

“Marissa is an expert teacher whose skill stokes confidence in her students, both when they are participating in her classes and whole learning. She is motivating and reassuring that we are capable teachers even when we are pushing through something hard. Marissa has created space within the well studio for teachers of every level to learn and bring who they are to their mats and their classes. Her training has fit the life of each teacher and provides room
To take what you need. Marissa’s consistent feedback and feedback from the greater group fuels our learning and helps me to understand where I need to dig in after each class. I highly recommend her program and being a part of the awesome community at The Well Studio.”
