Marianne Elliott

Marianne’s classes are designed to offer you a well-rounded hatha yoga practice including breath-work and meditation to settle the mind, active sequences to release tension and to energise the body, and restorative sequences to rest and rejuvenate the body.

Marianne has undertaken Prana Vinyasa Flow training with Twee Merrigan (2008/09) and the foundational Living Yoga teacher training with Mark Breadner (2009). She continues to train with Twee and Mark. Marianne has also trained with and takes inspiration from Jude Hynes (Astanga), Seane Corn (Vinyasa Flow) and Hala Khouri (Mind/Body).

Marianne is also inspired by the other teachers at Yoga Unlimited, especially Kelly and Lynda, and her personal style incorporates their use of music and flow sequences and a strong emphasis on supporting each person to find and trust their own internal teacher.

Marianne’s particular area of interest is karma yoga, the yoga of service, and she is the New Zealand community leader for “Off the Mat, Into the World” a not-for-profit organisation set up by yoga teachers that aims to inspire and support people to find and define their purpose and become active in their local or global community in an effective, sustainable and joyful way.
