Marika Tietavainen Owner of Yoga with Marika

This page has been inspired by one person’s yoga journey. On the scale of the big yoga universe it may measure like a drop of water or grain of sand, but together we create oceans and deserts. Yoga is as much a way of life as a skill, and as both, something of immense value to be shared and passed on.

Marika grew up in the middle of the deep forests of Finland which left lifelong yearning for clear waters, clean air and open skies. This in large part explains why she is in her element teaching yoga outdoors to connect with nature. The style of the classes may strike you as technical and structured, with an eagle eye for detail. This is a legacy of a lifetime of karate practice, and ability to pass on the comparable skills to yoga training. She cautions you at every turn to care for your body and mind which owes to multiple sports injuries in the past. These building (or yoga – excuse the pun!) blocks have paved Marika’s yoga journey, which she now wants to share with you.



Namaste!
