Marin McCallen is a life-long student and natural teacher. Her deep enthusiasm for sharing the knowledge and benefits of yoga shines through in all of her offerings.

Marin's own dedicated practice began in 2007 and was a transforming force in her life, leading to deeper self-insight, increasingly healthy habits, and strength in body and purpose.  Her evolution into teacher enforced her belief in yoga as a practice with the power to heal, as she witnessed similar shifts in her students again and again.

Marin approaches her teachings with reverence for the wisdom and tradition of yoga, and with light-hearted humor and enjoyment of life. She embodies the natural curiosity of a traveler, and exudes a willingness of heart. Her teaching style is articulate, enthusiastic, present, grounding, and empowering. 

She remains a student, perennially studying, and trained in many different modalities including vinyasa flow, yin & restorative yoga. Since 2014 Marin’s primary passion has been the study and teaching of Yoga Nidra. Her grounded presence and resonant voice hold space for practitioners to easily relax into the deeper levels of experience this practice allows.

After traveling, teaching and training around the world, Marin is happy to be home in her native Colorado. She is currently studying neuroscience at University of Colorado Boulder.

“I grew up on a ranch in (extremely) rural southwestern Colorado.  We didn’t have a TV, or neighbors my age, and as a result I spent a lot of time reading books or outdoors, entertaining myself with my imagination and the world around me.  At my core I’m a lifelong learner and seeker of knowledge, and a bone-deep nature lover.  I’ve never felt separate from nature, and thus find it easy to tap into the calming quality of the earth.  That grounded presence is one of the defining characteristics of my personality and my teaching.“
