Yoga at change

Marly Cardozo

Marly has been teaching yoga since 2000. Previously, she had careers in technology marketing and Wall Street finance. She has been an athlete for most of her life, as a soccer player, marathon runner, and competitive ski racer. The intensity and discipline she brought to these endeavors she applies to her yoga teaching and practice. While Marly was first drawn to yoga for its many physiological benefits, it has become her passion owing to its healing and transformative effects on mind and spirit. Her first yoga teaching certification was with Ganga White and Tracey Rich, founders of the White Lotus Foundation. Marly is also certified by Tias Little, founder of Prajna Yoga, and has assisted him at the Yoga Journal Conference and other workshops. She studied yoga therapy, chanting, and the Yoga Sutras with TKV Desikachar. Marly is currently training under the guidance of Kofi Busia. In addition to yoga studies, she has trained extensively in bio-energetic healing.

In her classes, Marly emphasizes conscious awareness, skillful alignment, a strong and stable core, and fluid movement. Her classes have a depth and completeness that consistently offer students both challenge and nourishment. Marly is attentive, well-informed, spontaneous, and playful. She believes that the true force behind yoga lies in its power to connect us with the deepest parts of ourselves. It is one of the most hopeful methods for becoming mindful of our strengths as well as our deep-held patterns of conditioning, enabling us to appreciate our own lives and the lives of all others.

Marly teaches workshops and retreats locally and internationally. She has taught yoga in studio, corporate, high school, and community settings. She is an Ambassador to Lululemon Athletica, offering classes to the Burlingame and San Mateo communities.  Marly provides private yoga instruction and bio-energetic healing sessions. From its inception, Marly has been a healer for Stanford School of Medicine’s Healing Partners program.
