The Mind Body Flow difference: more skills, more confidence
Most yoga schools only show you what to teach. At Mind Body Flow Yoga, we teach you the why and the how. Our course is carefully designed to give you the knowledge, insight and confidence you need to keep taking your practice to the next level and — if you choose — to teach classes as a powerful leader and impactful instructor.
At Mind Body Flow, you’ll get the in-depth tools and hands-on experience to empower you as a future teacher, a skilled yogi, and a leader in your community. This is your life — and your opportunity to shine.

Marina took her very first yoga class in 2004. She remembers never having felt such immense peace, stillness, relaxation, and clarity, as she had that evening following her first class.
For the first time in her life, Marina, learned she had the ability to carry this state of euphoria with her everywhere she went. She learned how to show up in her life off of the mat, just as powerfully as she did on my mat. Marina, discovered that she was stronger and more capable than she ever imagined or gave herself credit for…not just in a yoga posture, but in her life.
It was then that the dream of one day becoming a yoga teacher and opening up her own yoga studio emerged. Marina, wanted to share this practice with the world.
In 2009, Marina, attended her first ever yoga teacher training – in the Bikram method, and began teaching yoga. In 2012, Marina, attended Baptiste Foundations in Action, opened up her own yoga studio, Mind Body Flow Yoga, in East Amherst, New York, and attended Baptiste Level One Training.
In 2013, Marina, attended Baptiste Level Two Training and Art of Assisting. In 2014, Marina, became certified as a Baptiste Yoga Teacher. In 2015, Mind Body Flow Yoga, was awarded the SBA Small Business of the year award. In 2018, Marina, along with her dear friend, Pino Rizzi, released their very own power yoga DVD, which was highlighted and featured in the Buffalo News and Buffalo Magazine.
This all has been an incredible journey, all while raising three young children, along with Marina’s husband, Magezi.
Marina, is committed to touching countless lives through this powerful, life changing practice all of the days of her life.
