About Marianna
I am a certified yoga and functional movement coach with additional credentials from Yoga Medicine, continuously deepening my studies in biomechanics, joint mechanics, and movement science.
Coming from a background in product design and intellectual work, I spent years immersed in structure, logic, and long hours in front of screens. I know firsthand what happens when your focus stays entirely in your head: the body gets left behind, losing energy, ease, and natural mobility.
At the same time, I have always loved active movement - from board sports and inline skating to balance challenges like slackline. Moving with freedom brings genuine joy and resilience to life, but when you are mentally exhausted, finding the discipline to train can feel like an extra burden.
That is why I coach. My role is to hold the space and take that cognitive load off your shoulders. You don’t need to plan, push, or worry about routine: you simply arrive on the mat and reconnect with your body while I guide you through every step.
As a product designer, I created the FYSM Yoga Metronome app - a tool designed for breath cadence and timing, useful for both personal practice and teaching - and share my daily movement notes at mary.n.moves.
I train to keep my own body adaptable, resilient, and ready for spontaneous movement—whether that means carving on a snowboard or surfskate, inline skating, surfing, or exploring disciplines like parkour, climbing, and slackline injury-free. My goal is to help you build that same physical freedom: an intelligent, capable body prepared to explore new activities and enjoy an active life without fear of breakdown.

My sessions are designed as a complete, self-sufficient practice where a single focused hour delivers high-efficiency movement for your body. If you do nothing else for your physical fitness that day, this practice covers your baseline needs: rebuilding functional strength, joint mobility, muscular endurance, and postural integrity.
This is a guided experience where you don’t have to plan or overthink. You simply step onto the mat, follow clear instruction, and let your body move. It takes the cognitive weight off your shoulders, allowing your mind to rest while your body works.
The practice is built on the structured Fresh Yoga Synthesized Methodology (FYSM) - a movement system focused on balanced compensation, healthy circulation, and mindful progression. We begin with grounding and joint preparation, move through steady sequences that support spinal decompression, and finish with Savasana to reset the nervous system.
Targeted Areas We Address (All Levels Welcome):
You don’t need any prior flexibility or movement background to begin. Our practice meets you exactly where your body is today - there is zero pressure to perform poses "perfectly." Every progression, from the simplest variation to foundational balances like Crow Pose (Bakasana), delivers deep physical value. Rather than passive stretching, we gently focus on active mobility, relieving thoracic spine stiffness and tight hip flexors from long seated hours, while building wrist resilience and core stability at your own natural pace.
Sessions can be conducted in either English or Russian, depending on your preference.

Mariana is an amazing yoga teacher! I really enjoyed practicing with her. She explains everything very clearly and in detail, and shows how to safely get into even the most challenging poses. I especially love how attentive and encouraging she is during the practice. You can really feel that she knows what she’s doing and genuinely enjoys teaching. I highly recommend her classes — she’s a wonderful teacher️
Marianna is a wonderful yoga teacher who creates a calm, welcoming, and supportive atmosphere in every class. Her instructions are clear and easy to follow, and she gives helpful guidance suitable for all levels. I always leave her lessons feeling relaxed, refreshed, and more balanced. Highly recommended!
I really loved the session! Highly recommend. It was my first time doing yoga online, and it turned out to be even more convenient than in-person group classes! I love Marianna’s approach and the exercise routine she put together. I was already working up a sweat during the warm-up! Throughout the whole class, I felt like I was in safe hands - she constantly corrected my poses to make sure my form was right. I felt incredible afterwards. Thank you!
