    About Marissa M.

    5.0
    (5)
    I'm Marissa Munn, a warm, friendly and highly trained meditation and yoga teacher, working with youth and adults. I began my journey in yoga and breath work over 15 years ago as a way to reduce anxiety and unlock my body‘s natural healing potential. Since then I have been transformed and inspired to share what I have learned to support the lives of those around me. I’ve completed over 400 hours of meditation and yoga teacher training for youth and adults with The Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science, The Interdependence Project, Little Flower Yoga, and Bend + Bloom Yoga. Blending the wisdom of eastern traditions with modern science and the complexities of living in today’s world, I currently teach meditation, yoga and other self-care practices throughout the NYC-area to children and adults of all ages. With over 20 years of experience in youth development and a graduate degree in education, I lead with compassion and hope to inspire others to explore their inner world and ultimately live with more clarity, ease and love.

    Marissa is wonderful! We used her for a PD session for the teachers. She created a Self Care for Teachers program for us, and introduced us to a new method of meditation that was super helpful. The meditation is not about suppressing feelings and 'calming down.' It is about relaxing the mind and then taking a calm look at a problem, investigating how it makes us feel, and giving ourselves the nurturing we need in order to handle the problem and take care of our feelings. Very very helpful, I have been using the technique every day since, and our teachers loved it. Highly recommended.

    When I decided to start meditating, I knew I would need someone to teach me, encourage me and give me the skills I needed to eventually progress by myself. Marissa was the perfect choice for a coach. Our weekly lessons were well prepared and included both the theory and practice of meditation while giving me the time I needed to ask questions and seek clarification. I simply could not have done this without Marissa. Excellent choice!

    I have been practicing meditation and mindfulness independently since 2015. Marrisa helped me learn even more in-depth. Through her teaching, I learned how to cope with anxiety and stress, and I really enjoyed discovering new ways of living with compassion and peaceful mind. Very thankful for her. I highly recommend her!
