Martine Fox teaches Hatha, Vinyasa,
Kids' Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, as well as Mom and Baby Yoga.
She began this amazing practice five years ago and it has
made such an impact on her life that she simply had to bring
this experience to others! Incorporating her love of nature
into the practice with guided meditations and symbolically
through the poses, Martine challenges students to explore
themselves with an open heart, open mind and most
importantly, with compassion. What she enjoys most about
teaching is how much there is to learn through the students.
For that, she is very grateful.
