Hi, I’m Marge (she/her), a Virginia-based movement educator and interdisciplinary artist. I work with yoga, dance, and embodied movement practices rooted in creativity, curiosity, and decades of training across dance, circus arts, yoga, performance, and somatic exploration.
movement (and) language:
using my body and words
for full expression.
Come move, explore, and reconnect with yourself through yoga and embodied movement in classes, trainings, workshops, and retreats!
About
I’m a lifelong mover, educator, language enthusiast, and interdisciplinary artist whose work bridges the worlds of yoga, dance, circus arts, and embodied creativity. With a BFA in Dance, a minor in Spanish, formal contemporary circus arts training in Italy, and an E-RYT 500 YACEP credential through Yoga Alliance, my studies, performances, and teachings have carried me across studios, stages, retreat spaces, and training programs around the world.
I began teaching movement at 15 starting with preschool ballet and creative movement, and have spent the decades since guiding students into deeper relationships with their bodies, artistry, expression, and self-trust. My own movement background draws from a dynamic blend of artistic gymnastics, classical and contemporary dance, competitive diving, circus training with a specialization in hand balancing and dance acrobatics, somatic exploration, and over 1,500 hours of yoga education - and counting!
Since pursuing yoga as my full time career in 2015, I’ve led multiple 200-hour teacher trainings, specialized modules, mentorships, continuing education, workshops, intensives, university curriculums, and more than a dozen retreats for fellow movers and teachers within my community. My approach is deeply informed by curiosity, nuance, playfulness, musicality, and a reverence for authentic human expression both on and off the mat.
Alongside movement, I’ve always held a deep love for spoken language and would classify myself as an amateur word nerd. I’ve studied Spanish, Italian, and French, and have had the joy of living, learning, and speaking them in immersive settings abroad. I believe movement and language are intimately connected: each with its own rhythm, nuance, accent, fluency, awkwardness, and capacity for connection.
Whether I’m teaching yoga, facilitating teacher education, swan-diving into cenotes, tinkering with crystal bowls, or rolling around on the floor investigating movement patterns, I bring a blend of grounded knowledge, humor, warmth, grace, and creative spirit to every space I enter.
And when I’m not upside down somewhere...? I can usually be found fully horizontal at home watching TV with my dog or disappearing deeply into an aggressively hot bubble bath.
