Yoga Classes

My classes are steady, intentional, and rooted in traditional Hatha yoga. Each class offers a balance of movement, breath, and quiet attention — supporting students in building a consistent, embodied practice over time.

You can expect clear guidance, a calm pace, and space to explore both effort and ease. Classes are accessible to a range of experience levels, with options offered as needed.

Students are encouraged to work at their own pace and listen to their bodies. Whether you’re newer to yoga or returning to foundational practice, Marisha’s classes emphasize consistency, awareness, and presence over performance.

Schedule

I’m a co-owner of All Ways Yoga in Sidney, where I’m deeply involved in nurturing a welcoming, community-centred space for practice. All Ways Yoga is a place rooted in accessibility, curiosity, and care, and I’m grateful to offer classes and programs there that reflect these shared values.

Class Schedule

6 AM - Hatha Flow
- This 45-minute medium energy level class is held in a warm room and is suitable for all students.
  
  Hatha Flow is a medium-energy class that moves at a steady, grounded pace. Postures are linked through simple, mindful transitions, allowing time to feel the shape of each pose and the rhythm of the breath.
7 PM - Yin
- Yin is a quiet, slower-paced practice focused on longer-held, mostly floor-based postures. Poses are passive, allowing the body to soften and gradually release.
8:15 PM Japa Mantra Meditation
- Japa Mantra Meditation is a gentle, inward-facing practice using mantra repetition to support focus, calm, and inner quiet. The class moves gradually from soft vocal chanting toward silent repetition, allowing the mind to settle naturally. Mala beads and hand mudras may be used but are not required. Open to all levels and offered as a free community class.
Sivananda Yoga | 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM
- Sivananda Yoga is a classical Indian Hatha practice rooted in tradition and accessible to all levels. This class follows a set sequence of postures, offering both consistency and depth, and invites students to experience yoga as more than physical movement.
  - Optional 15-minute extended practice after savasana.
Hot Yin — 6:00 AM - 6:45 AM
Hot Yin is a quiet, warming practice held in a gently heated, candlelit room. The class moves at a slow, mindful pace, offering space to soften the body and settle the mind.
This 45-minute, all-levels class includes mostly floor-based, yin-style postures supported by props. Poses are held for longer periods with subtle movement woven in, encouraging joint mobility, circulation, and a gradual release of tension.
With minimal music and a calm atmosphere, Hot Yin is well-suited for mornings or anytime you’re seeking a slower, more inward practice. No flexibility is required.
Vinyasa Flow (warm) | 6:00 AM - 6:45 AM
- Warm Vinyasa Flow is a higher-energy, breath-led class designed for students with some yoga experience. Held in a gently warmed room, this practice moves at a steady pace with continuous transitions between postures.
  This class is well-suited for those looking for a more dynamic practice and comfortable moving through sequences with fewer pauses.
