I don’t know why I waited so long to try yoga. I’ve had hip pain for almost a decade. My orthopedic doctor sent me to physical therapy, and it seemed to make the pain more unbearable.

When I first contacted Marcy she was very attentive, professional, and knowledgeable, listening to everything I said and even the things I didn’t say.

She tailored my first and subsequent visits, based on our conversations to my needs, wants and goals. 

Marcy is CONTAGIOUS! She is very confident, upbeat ~ a breath of fresh air and positivity.  She is nonjudgemental ~ whether for the level of physical stamina, or emotional baggage that is holding you in the same dark, icky place that you have wasted many, many years as a resident!

I would definitely recommend her! She has been a tremendous help! I always look forward to spending time relaxing, learning new ways to end the struggle of a decade of pain, whether from my hip or my fibromyalgia, but yet heading for the rainbow after the storm. 

I would call her my friend, and that was after our first session!

 Charina brings a beautiful authenticity to her yoga teaching style. She is both approachable and unpretentious. She embraces yogic philosophy on and off the mat and this comes through in her teaching style. I first practiced with Charina as a new yogi, and I continue to seek out her classes to support my yoga journey.

 10 out of 5 stars. Yoga therapy and breathwork has truly transformed my life. Marcy’s knowledge and skill set are unmatched! Her comforting and uplifting presence allows me to feel relaxed and come out of each session feeling rejuvenated and better than ever! I have also been healing from POTS and Longhaul covid - which has taken me on a mind/body/soul healing journey as I work through heart palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, diaphragm spasms, light headedness, weakness, nerve pain, muscle/joint pain, extreme fatigue, nausea, and insomnia. Through it all - Marcy’s support and sessions have made such a positive impact on my life and my healing journey. I am getting stronger every month thanks to what I have learned from her! Forever grateful is an understatement. You will not be disappointed with Vibrance Retreats! I highly recommend!
