Welcome to MARiSOL Yoga Academy
Maria Diehn - Facilitator and Lead Teacher Yoga Teacher Trainings
Welcome, I am so happy you found us! I’m Maria, your dedicated Yoga teacher and Founder of this sanctuary of emotional wellbeing and transformation. Let me take you on a journey through my personal Yoga evolution. It all started when I was studying in Cologne in 2007. I found Yoga and it became my sanctuary during stressful times at University, leading me to explore Hatha, Hot, and Vinyasa Yoga. After leaving the corporate world, my travels through Australia, especially Byron Bay, introduced me to Yin Yoga and I absoluetly and utterly fell in love with this deep and regulating practice. Yoga has been my constant companion, inspiring me to share its life-changing and healing benefits. At MARiSOL Yoga Academy, we focus on nurturing your mind, body, and soul through transformative yoga experiences that connect you with your inner self. Our aim is to provide a safe space where you can explore the powerful relationship between movement, breath, and self-awareness. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and let the transformative power of yoga guide you toward a balanced and harmonious life.
What does MARiSOL stand for? When I started my teaching journey, I wanted a brand name that had a deep meaning for me. The biggest reason I choose this name is because of my beloved late dog Solomon. He has been my absolute Soul Dog and MARiSOL, simply stands for Maria & Solomon, another reason is my deep love for the sea and the sun which is also combined in the name (Spanish) and a 3rd reason is that I picked up over 2 decades ago that the translation of Marisol would be beloved child of the sun (I don’t even know if that is true ) As my audience grew bigger by the year and the Academy started I had many Business advisors telling me to change the name, to something less personal, more professional, more spiritual. But how could I, with Solomon watching from Heaven and cheering on me. So MARISOL also stands for heart and soul connection.
