Marjorie Ames began practicing yoga – as best she can remember – in 1989. A career diplomat, she’s brought her yoga practice with her and benefitted from the experience of many extraordinary teachers during her assignments abroad. Yet her true yoga home is at Sun & Moon, where she has found a supportive and welcoming community of inspiring teachers and fellow students. Marjorie participated in Sun and Moon’s 2016-17 Foundations In-Depth Teacher Training Program and (finally) received her 200-hour certification in 2019. Her teaching is informed by an interest in the interplay between movement, breath, and the energetic level of experience. She believes passionately that yoga is for every body and encourages students to listen to their own wisdom, and focus – in yoga and in life – on experiencing what is happening as it is happening.
