I love my work - both teaching yoga and treating my clients - professionally since 2009.Taping into many methods of body work, I treat holistically by aligning the physical body with the aim of restoring balance on the emotional and energetical levels. Breath is a guide in all my work.Through dedicating my time and energy towards developing both the physical and spiritual aspects of yoga and massage therapy, I offer my clients a channel to experience loving kindness with a healing touch.Marianne has studied with David Lutt in Osteopathy and Thai Massage, Thai Massage with Krishnataki and the Sunshine House, Yoga with Trimurti Yoga, Spirit Yoga and the Yoga Education Institute, with teachers such as Patricia Thielemann, Lilla Wuttich, Karolina Krawczyk-Sharma - working with energy lines and soft tissues like fascia has intrigued and excited me since many years. I now trust my hands even more than ever to listen to and assist my clients in rediscovery their own vitality, regaining health and well being.A little personal history of the founder of Soul Treats"Born to german parents in India, my life has been unusual and nomadic from the start. In short, I grew up in communities in 3 different continents. When I reached my teens, I wanted to go to regular school, settle down and learn some German :)After attending high school, I began to study sociology at university but my travel genes took over. I spent many wild years traveling the globe from Asia to Australia to Argentina and the U.S. living a life through music, dance and performance. I amusingly refer to Fusion Festival as my home town - the only place in the world that I have returned to year after year, have watched develop and assisted in the development of the culture cosmos.I discovered a natural talent for massage long before I began to study it. As at teen, my ability to listen to the body on a metaphysical level overwhelmed me. It was beautiful but I shyed away from it. During my years of creative performance and dance, the desire to study something with structure guided me to anatomy and physiology while living in Australia in 2008. Ever since, it has been an intriguing journey: learning intricate medical knowledge, then letting the mind go and listening with the empathic heart and hands -combining both disciplines makes my work deep, meaningful and healing.The practice of yoga dropped itself in my lap during a very difficult time in 2004. It subtly gave me strength and courage to continue with my life. Even though my childhood prevented me from calling it yoga - just the word felt way too dogmatic, - I was asked by friends to teach, the change in my demeanour attracted them.Many years later, a passionate Jivamukti yogini, Mira, in a shala in the mountains of California, inspired me into cultivating a regular practice - non religious, non dogmatic, a dynamic practice about unity, about stillness, about acceptance.I moved to Berlin in 2015, highly pregnant looking for a home to nest in. I also discovered that my body needed a different practice then what I was used to, which brought me to my first yoga teacher training. Since then I have done multiple trainings and have been teaching with even more bio-mechanical knowledge, passion and pleasure than ever.I like to remember what my uncle says, “Pleasure is just as important as responsibility.”And am always guided by my buddhist Auntie and Yoga Teacher (at 93!), Ursula Lyon, "Das Unvollkommene vollkommen zu akzeptieren ist Freiheit."
