About
I started practicing yoga when I was 19, pregnant with my first child (17 years ago) and it immediately felt right, it was what my body needed, I was able to calm my mind and found my breath as a settling tool.
During the last 12 years I have been able to practice with different teachers from all over the world, but most importantly I have been practicing on my own at home and this has helped my self understanding.
I did my teacher training with 'Ananda Yoga desde el corazon' in Playa del Carmen, México and it was a year of full transformation, Yoga became more than what I did, it became my lifestyle.
When I became a yoga instructor, the moment I was in front of the class I was able to put my needs to the side and make others' needs my main focus. For me to be able to give yoga classes is a gift, I really enjoy it! It is my opportunity to do my bit to help others find peace of mind and a better understanding of their bodies.
I have given classes for yoga studios, boutique hotels, gyms and I managed my own yoga studio for 5 years in México. I have organized workshops and retreats with guests teachers.
I hold a bachelors degree in Psychology and I have found yoga as a very useful tool in therapy.
My teaching experience has manly been focused on Vinyasa flow, aliagnment based, gentle, prenatal and meditation.

Marta is a true professional with a genuine interest in developing her students' well-being. Throughout the last 5 years Marta has helped me discover the benefits of having a regular yoga and meditation practice. Apart from the obvious physical benefits I have also learnt breathing techniques which have helped me through stressful situations.

Marta's yoga classes are grounding and calming. Her years of experience allow her to cater for different ability levels and needs effortlessly. She has a tremendously soothing presence and a warmth that immediately puts you at ease. I really looked forward to Marta's classes and found that, no matter what state I was in before I entered, I always found myself relaxed and centred walking out. I'd recommend them to anyone, regardless of your level or experience and, she can deliver them in Spanish too!

Uno de los privilegios que he tenido en la vida es tener la oportunidad de practicar yoga . Estoy muy agradecida por haber coincidido con Marta como mi maestra, fue lo mejor, ya que su práctica es de las que más me han dejado enseñanza en todos los aspectos. El siempre corregir las asanas me sirvió mucho, me doy cuenta que no todos los maestros corrigen. Disfrute la manera en que nos guiaba durante la relajación, donde se tiene la sensación que el tiempo desaparece, los retiros que organizó, así como la rica comida que nos preparó con devoción y amor . Recuerdo que nos enseño como practicar yoga hasta para sonreír en el tráfico, respirar en momentos de estrés agradeciendo nuestro día y las oportunidades que se nos presentan en la vida. Transmitiéndonos un estado de relajación y haciendo conciencia en todo, y sobre todo ayudándome a encontrar una filosofía de vida, aprendiendo en el tapete como vivir fuera de el con armonía. Om shanti Paz en lo que pensamos ... Paz en lo que decimos ... Paz en lo que hacemos ...

Marta is a caring, motivating and experienced instructor. She creates a calm and friendly environment that has enhanced my yoga practice. I have thoroughly enjoyed my Saturday morning sessions with Marta at CERES, as it’s a positive and uplifting way to start my weekend and helps realign my mind and body to reinvigorate me for the week ahead.

Marta's yoga classes are truly beautiful and beneficial for body, mind and soul! She teaches the postures mindfully and thoroughly, taking into consideration any specific ailments or special needs, regularly rotating to check participants are doing the postures correctly. Marta caters to all ages and my back has benefited enormously since attending her weekly class in Spanish.I feel totally relaxed and flexible afterwards. It has helped strengthen my daughter's wrists with the special exercises. Marta is very experienced and knowledgeable. Thank you Marta - I can't wait for your classes in the new year!
