  I came for the 3 day intensive, and the experience exceeded my expectations all around. Marilu is a highly knowledgable and experienced teacher, and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn with/from her. I’ve left with practical strategies to reignite, continue, and improve my practice, and I will definitely be coming back. In addition to the excellent classes and workshops, the space itself is lovely 💚

  Working with Marilu for the two-week intensive was profound, beautiful, and great hard work. Wanting to grow in my daily personal practice and develop a method for supporting individuals in yoga therpay, Marilu gave me perfect guidance in the traditional Ashtanga method. I got to feel the power of traditional practice and the progressional steps into a posture if it could not be accessed. Her knowledge and compassion developed in other body work disciplines supports her capability to work with individuals at all levels in their practice. Her commitment to practicing and teaching this method is clear. Her concise communication and wise timely transmission of information expresses her skills as a teacher. I was so grateful to get one-on-one time in this course with powerful guidance in a mentor-mentee relationship. This is what I was looking for to develop in yoga practice. I highly recommend working with Marilu and I myself will be returning to practice with her :) - Cat

  I joined the 5-day Ashtanga program including surf lessons – a wonderful combination! I would recommend bringing a good level of physical fitness, as the sessions can be quite challenging. Marilu is incredibly warm-hearted and attentive. She took a lot of time to introduce me to the practice of Ashtanga yoga and supported me carefully with adjustments to improve my alignment in the poses. The atmosphere was both familiar and highly professional – a rare and beautiful combination. For me, the program was an absolute enrichment, both on a personal level and for my yoga practice. Highly recommended!

  I had an amazing experience doing the 5-day Ashtanga yoga intensive. I’ve been practicing Ashtanga for several years and in this short time Marilu offered a wealth of personalised guidance on my practice and was able to clearly explain concepts that have greatly assisted me since. Marilu is a knowledgeable and professional teacher, and also incredibly kind and generous which made me feel at home at her shala and in Lombok. I wish I’d had another few weeks there. I definitely recommend studying with Marilu if you’re looking to develop your physical practice and go deeper into the theory and philosophy of yoga. It’s also a wonderful introduction to life in Lombok. Marilu has designed a thoughtful schedule that results in an incredibly unique, personalised, and authentic experience.
