Marcella did ballet, jazz, gymnastics and track from childhood through high school. She was a cheerleader in high school, and started running half-marathons as an adult. She started practicing yoga in 2006 to create mind-body connection and learn to stay in the present moment.

After receiving her 200-hour teacher training certificate through Yoga by Julia, she went on to earn her RYT-500 designation with Jason Crandell. She is also certified in Restorative Yoga, having studied multiple times with Judith Lasater (inventor of Restorative Yoga) and Judith’s daughter. She also studied yin yoga with Bernie Clark.

As a yoga teacher, she realizes, “each person is different. I like to hold space for students to safely practice yoga. After class, I hope to see the students feel that yoga glow."
