MAR integrative is a beautiful new studio nestled in Mill Valley. Ángela, one of the co-owners, uses the perfect combination of grounded yin poses while incorporating challenging and energizing yang asanas that are rooted in profoundly stilling meditations. I am so grateful for this studio popping up in our post-Covid world where most other places seem like watered down exercise classes sprinkled with catchy Sanskrit words and little substance. Mar Integrative is proving itself to be a cut above the rest, a true yoga clinic of authenticity where profound healing and growth for the body and spirit takes place.
I have also taken a series of private yoga lessons with Angela, and her ability to truly see and understand me is unparalleled. Angela tailored a program for me that both nourished me and pushed me just to my edge so that profound transformation and healing could take place. She also helped me uncoil from a deeply traumatic experience through her practice of trauma-informed yoga. I witnessed my body shake while my mind peacefully observed the process from a safe and protected space. When the shaking was over, I could see that my body and mind had registered the trauma and I was finally able to move past an event that I had originally believed I could never overcome. Angela is an angel who possesses an innate ability to heal others through her yogic insight and elevated asana practice. A true gem. read more
