For Fiona, “The on-going self-inquiry of yoga allows me to look deep inside and be clear of what I need on and off the mat. Yoga helps me open to life’s limitless opportunities, live with a more open mind and an open heart, soften and relax into whatever is arising in the moment.”
Fiona enjoys what students teach her as much she teaches them and is grateful for the shared process of self-discovery, strength and joy in each moment.
Mari-Halina Colbert
Lead Facilitator, UK 200hr 2024
Weaving together over 15 years of experience with movement as medicine for mental, emotional, physical and spiritual harmony, Mari began yoga in the midst of dance school in London and immediately recognised the gold in the practice, which became a place of refuge in the demanding environment of professional dance.
She has since immersed in the philosophy and study of yoga, taking part in many trainings and immersions, most impactfully the Embodied Flow™ training with Adele Kinghan in New Zealand, which was a soul-stirring recalibration and honey-warm homecoming. Her passion and curiosity have led her to many other immersions and study programs in Classical Non-Dual Tantra, embodiment, somatics, biomechanics, humanistic psychology, Hakomi Psychotherapy, Body Mind Centering®, and trauma-sensitive yoga, facilitating Mari’s desire to bring these enriching and illuminating teachings to others in an accessible and inspiring way. She is immensely grateful to her teachers who have been beacons and transmitters of these paradigm-shifting practices and teachings, including Christopher (Hareesh) Wallis, Kavitha M. Chinnaiyan, Adele Kinghan, Sandey Hoskin, Sarah Hon, Kylie Rook, Bonnie Bainbridge-Cohen, Tara Judelle and Scott Lyons.
Mari’s offerings are grounded in the rich traditional teachings of Non-Dual Tantra (the roots of modern postural yoga) which, through a vast array of life-affirming, world-affirming, and body-affirming practices and teachings, emphasises direct experience of a reality that is inherently divine. She intertwines poetry, music, traditional asana, as well as ecstatic dance and free movement, to bring the ineffable and universal alive in the playground of individual practice and expression that is the student’s own Beauty and unfolding.
Mari has taught on teacher trainings in New Zealand and online for UK based trainings. She also holds space for one to one somatic therapy and mentoring and regularly offers retreats, trauma-sensitive yoga, workshops, and women's circles, held in the warm embrace of community.
