    Currently residing in the Blue Mountains with her family,  Darcy also owns and operates Spy Cider House & Distillery. Despite her ventures in other businesses, yoga remains her first love.  Her experiences as a yoga teacher and studio owner profoundly influence her approach to business, extending her insights and practices far beyond the yoga mat.

  • Marisa began her journey into the world of Yoga while studying Psychology and Corporate Communications in her University years. Searching for a more mindful and meaningful approach to physical fitness and mental health, Yoga became her primary movement practice, and she completed her first 500 Hour Yoga Training with Moksha Yoga in 2004. She is also certified in Prenatal Yoga, Moksha Level 2, and Yin Yoga.

    Marisa opened her first Yoga studio with Darcy Hagerman in North York, and less than 5 years later, opened a second studio in Thornhill. After more than 10 years owning and operating as a Moksha Yoga studio, Marisa and Darcy decided to become fully independent, changing their name to Sukha Yoga and Pilates which has allowed for ongoing growth in offerings to their ever growing and beloved community. 

    Combining her entrepreneurial instincts with her love of teaching has provided Marisa with the ultimate balance of growing a business while connecting on a deeper level with her team of teachers and students. 

    She is grateful for all of the opportunities that have come her way as a studio owner - all challenges included - and feels privileged to spend her days nurturing the growth of this business with her Yoga practice to keep her anchored.

    The practice of Yoga had transformed my life, It created deep awareness within that allowed a greater and more genuine connection with myself therefore with my surroundings. The practice continues to open my heart and mind, guides me into balance and provides me with a physical, emotional and spiritual support. For the past 17 years I have been devoted to sharing it with others.

    In my teachings I keep my students focused on staying connected to their inner self, emphasising on breath while developing body and mind connection.

    I believe that the practice of Yoga is adaptable to suit every body and that one can heal when committed to work at all different layers, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual as one. I encourage my students to listen to their bodies and move in a way that feels safe for them.
