Hello! I’m Mari.
I have been practicing yoga for over twenty years. Before the pandemic, Hot 26 and Iyengar were the foundation of my practice. In recent years my practice has shifted to Hatha and Yin. I love attending workshops, meeting people and deepening my personal practice. Every training, workshop, and teacher I have met along my journey has taught me something valuable.
Trainings Completed:
200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Honest Yoga
50 Hour Mindfulness/Yoga Immersion
A little about me:
Juggling a thirty-year career, family, dogs, fitness/health, and caregiving for my dad were my focuses until Jan 2023. I was burnt out and something needed to change so I left my career and started building my next life chapter. 2023 was about reinvention, starting on the mat with yoga and it was rewarding in so many ways.
From 2002 to 2021 my family was lucky enough to live in four states and visit over 40 countries.
Did you know I started a book blog on a whim in 2009? I was lucky enough to interview authors, host a national book club, and make connections in the publishing industry. This chapter ended after a few years when I had the opportunity to see the world. Dormant for a decade now, it still gets thousands of monthly views.
In 2010 we embraced slow living when we bought four wooded acres in northern New Jersey, creating a place to decompress when not exploring the world.
In 2012, we started planning our next life chapter - the concept started as a small resort within two hours of Minneapolis… with morning walks, yoga, farm to table meals, and activities for all seasons. Centered around building community and giving back to those who have supported us over the years. I still have a Pinterest board named Project Clover that warms my soul - it’s fun to reflect upon and realize we made it happen.
We moved back to Minnesota in May 2021 and hosted “Adult Summer Camp” for four days just two months later. We live on three acres of land with our dogs on Maxwell Bay.
I have planned over 100 dinner parties and multi day experiences since 2010 - earning my event planning ‘badge’ in 2015. We simply love creating experiences for our friends and family. It fills our soul, and we are blessed to share our dream with you.
