Marine Geraud
Yoga teacher, handstand addict

Originally from France, Marine moved to Sydney in 2015. She discovered the practice of yoga shortly after her arrival, at a time when she was going through serious mental and physical health issues. Yoga became a key driver in her recovery and this is what led her to want to share the practice with others.
Marine’s teaching style is eclectic, drawing inspiration from the wide range of practices and teachers she has had the chance to practice and study with. She loves mixing up her teaching style, sometimes focussing on very expansive creative flows sequenced to music, and other times slowing down the pace, focussing on alignment and holding poses a little longer. She believes that this is how you build a balanced practice and explore different perspectives.
Marine builds her classes through a layered approach, aimed at helping students warm up and build up strength to get into deeper poses toward the end of the practice. She will always offer lots of options in her classes to accommodate both beginners and more advanced practitioners. If you love arm balances and inversions you can be pretty sure she’ll offer an option to explore, play and get off your feet in her classes.
“I love being a facilitator and helping anyone interested in yoga discover how they can use their own practice to get a better understanding of themselves, to support their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.”
