Zanzibar was an amazing experience. I felt relaxed and at home the whole week I was there. I was inspired by Marisa, she taught me many things about yoga. I was 11 when I was there and it was tough at times but Marisa helped me to carry on. I really enjoyed my time and realised that no one else could ever recreate that yoga experience. I wish I could be in Zanzibar right now with Marisa doing yoga. Thank you so much keep up the great work.

Our time with Marissa at Yoga Zanzibar was beautiful. We miss the vibe, the food, and of course the yoga. Marissa was a brilliant teacher, eager to customize the daily classes to fit our style and experience. Flame Tree is lovely, and the best food on the strip. And the price is shockingly reasonable. We treasure our time spent on Zanzibar.

One week of intensive yoga training in Zanzibar with Marisa has been by far one of the best travel decisions I have ever made. Zanizbar is already such a gorgeous and special place, with its endless, peaceful beaches, friendly people and pristine sealife.
I have had very little exposure to Yoga previously but now I am able to practice on my own for up to 90 minutes. In just this short time, Marisa managed to provide me with a deep understanding of the postures, techniques and philosophy of Yoga. She is a delightful soul that genuinely cares for the people who seek her guidance.
The retreat came with a lot of perks and extras, most notably the gorgeous surroundings of a beautifully decorated Villa on the East side of the island, complete with decent food, romantic moonrises and a seaview swimming pool. In this setting, doing two full sessions of Yoga per day came to me almost effortlessly. But Marisa also made it fun, kind of creating the experience of a spiritual summer camp, complete with Reiki, trance dance and mandala painting.
The only weakness of this retreat is its after-effect: I keep missing and missing it and wishing I could go back!

Thanks for bringing us back to stilness. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Everyday sunshine, the finest whitest beach and the ‘bluest’ ocean I’ve ever seen was the perfect environment for a perfect yoga retreat!
Really I can not find the right words for the extraordinary days we had with you. You are a great teacher and I will never forget what I’ve learned from you. Thank you so much!

Thank you a lot for that very relaxing, stretching and enriching Yoga Retreat week.
I guess I just came for sunshine and some asanas, but what I found was much more: time for myself, careful assistance for my yoga practise and good food
Your style of teaching is really amazing: as powerful as sensitive; as straight as calm and accurate. Thank you very much. And then the wonderful place you have chosen for the retreat the Zi Villa – post card image

Thank you seems like such a small word for the wonderful energy you exude and and the special experience you have given me. I certainly feel enriched by the experience and meeting you and the quiet knowledge you offer so beautifully.
Thank you for your graceful, related and sincere yoga classes against this beautiful backdrop. The pace, the composition, the style were all ‘just right’ and I enjoyed every minute of it.
