Marney is a 500 RYT-certified yoga teacher who has been based in Phoenix and the surrounding Arizona valley since 2018. She fell in love with yoga while studying design at FIDM in Los Angeles. Her apartment complex offered free yoga classes, so she practiced daily before and after school. During this time, her practice was purely physical. However, everything shifted when she moved back to Phoenix and took a transformative yoga class with Angie Hall in 2017.

In this class, Angie introduced Kriya, a practice rooted in Himalayan Kundalini yoga from the Sattva Yoga Academy. The experience opened Marney’s heart and revealed to her the depth and spiritual richness of yoga beyond the physical postures. This pivotal moment sparked a journey of exploration, leading Marney to travel the world attending yoga retreats and festivals to deepen her practice and connection to the teachings of yoga.

Yoga has profoundly transformed Marney’s life, and she feels honored to share the wisdom that has guided her own spiritual journey. Along the way, she has obtained multiple certifications,  taken several trainings, and continues to learn and integrate practices that enhance her ability to guide others. Marney now hosts her own wellness retreats, combining her training with her passion for creating healing experiences.

Currently, Marney is a Wellness Guide at CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa in Carefree, Arizona, where she teaches a wide variety of wellness modalities, including yoga, meditation, sound baths, ecstatic dance, and more. Marney is particularly passionate about using her voice to enhance sound bath experiences through mantra and affirmations, weaving music and intention into her sessions to create deeply healing experiences. Guests travel from around the world to immerse themselves in the magic of her offerings and the serene environment of the resort.

In addition to her work at CIVANA, Marney will soon be launching online courses and is available for private or group sessions, both in person and online.
