Mariska Swartz
I love to continually learn, improve myself and evolve as a human being.
I feel vast amounts of JOY sharing the magnificent benefits of meditation, yoga and now, as a breathwork specialist with others!
My focus is to meet students where they are and then inspire them to move to a better place using the wisdom I’ve gained from experience, knowledge, and self-study. I lead students through connection, compassion, and simple yet profound yoga and breathwork experiences.
My aim is to give students practical, accessible, & relatable opportunities.
Over several training experiences in the U.S., New Zealand & Australia I have learned from world-renowned teachers; Baron Baptiste, Sarah Powers, Rod Stryker, Esther Abraham Hicks & Joe Dispenza. My newly acquired expertise in breathwork has further deepened my understanding of holistic wellness and enriched the range of techniques I offer.
I believe that stillness is a vital component as it gets us in touch with our authentic self & our inner wisdom. My passion for yoga lies in helping & improving the lives of others as well as guiding my own life of continued study & self-evolution.

My Retreat Experience -
I had the most amazing time at Mariska's last retreat in Noosa! The place, the people and most of all the food was absolutely amazing!! Mariska held a beautiful and safe container where we all felt heard and safe to explore within whilst gently moving our bodies. I left the retreat feeling revived and overjoyed with the experience. I didn't actually want to leave!
