Marianne Wells: The Garden Goddess

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

These days, you can find Marianne Wells in The Goddess Garden of Cahuita, Costa Rica, home of the Marianne Wells Yoga School.  Along the path of a small, winding creek among the gentle jungle trees, Marianne fosters a rigorously spiritual environment, helping teachers-in-training find the path that speaks to them as they embark on their unique and personal journey.  Her yoga teacher certification programs are some of the most comprehensive in the world.

With a strong background in both teaching and motivational speaking, it comes as no surprise that Marianne’s approach to her trainings are just as much philosophical as they are methodical.  Her offerings include a 200RYT Yoga Alliance Teacher Training, as well as 500 RYT & IAYT Yoga Therapy Trainings.  Students travel from over 30 countries seeking her guidance.   It’s not only asanas, pranayamas and mudras they are seeking – but also a completeness of mind, body and spirit.  Through her instruction students gain a deepened sense of spirituality, realizing the value of self in one’s own instruction as well as recognizing that of the students, gauging and evolving what’s essential for them to learn.

Marianne’s intuition and insight translate beyond (more…)

Three Minute Egg supports Partners in Health — Haiti

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

During my last appearance at a Yoga Journal conference recently held in San Francisco, I decided to donate $5 (to PARTNERS IN HEALTH in support of their relief efforts in Haiti) for each person who purchased one of my Three Minute Egg Starter Kits.  Lots of people bought Eggs, but unfortunately only a few bought starter kits.  Nevertheless, It feels good to do something, however small.  I have mixed feelings about this kind of giving, as I’m never sure how much of it actually gets to the people who need the help.  In the spirit of hope I make my donation — hoping that every bit counts, however small.

Flexibility of the Mind – Advanced Yoga and the use of props

Yoga Handstand with Three Minute Egg

Try this for an added challenge!

When it comes to Advanced Yogis and yoga props, the response is almost inevitably, “Not for me, thanks. I don’t use props.”  Many will say that the more they advance, the less interest they have in yoga props, and the less they feel they need them.  And so I put forth the following question: What does it truly mean in yoga to be advanced?

The practice of asana inspires us to find where we are on any given day.  Making a declarative statement about where we are fails to factor in one of life’s biggest constants — change.  Our bodies change, our abilities change, our energy levels change and our goals change.  In this article, I invite you to think outside whatever box you’ve placed around advancing as a yogi,  particularly when it comes to using props.  (more…)

Texas Yoga Conference

Monday, January 4th, 2010

I was just invited to attend the Texas Yoga conference in February (19-21), being held in Houston, featuring a large selection of yoga teachers from the area and beyond. This sounds like an amazing event to attend, and it’s very reasonably priced, which is nice. I’ll have just returned home from 3 weeks in California at the Yoga Journal Conference and shooting part of a documentary, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to make it, but if you are/live anywhere in the area, let me know how it goes! Below is an excerpt from their sponsorship letter and I thought it had lots of valuable information for anyone considering yoga, or just wanting to be reassured they’re on the right track. I am making it available here for all to see. Thank you TYC!

The number of people practicing yoga in the US has reached (more…)
