Martina stumbled onto her yogic path quite unknowingly in the fall of 2002 when she took her first Bikram yoga class. Simply drawn to the heat and the physical nature of the poses, and with a desire for a practical way to heal body and mind, it quickly became clear to her that she had found  her way. Inspired by all of the positive physical benefits of the practice but especially by a newly acquired sense of inner peace and self acceptance, she made the decision to study with Bikram Choudhury and became a certified instructor of  the method in 2005. It is with great joy that she has been able to share this amazing gift of health with so many students looking to also nurture their body, mind, and spirit.

Wanting to further her study of yoga, Martina has since completed the intensive Hatha teacher training program here at Rama Lotus.
