About Marsha

Marsha has been practicing yoga for over 40 years and took her first yoga class at the age of 14, in her hometown of Detroit, Michigan.  Since then, she has been an aerobics teacher / program director for fitness guru Richard Simmons, a personal trainer, shiatsu massage therapist, natural food advisor and yoga teacher. After her pursuit of many styles of yoga over the years, Marsha began a regular program of the original hot yoga known as Bikram yoga at a studio in Boca Raton, Florida.

Yoga Teacher

Marsha's passion for yoga continued to grow and in 1997, she moved to Los Angeles, Ca., where she attended her first yoga class with Ana Forrest. She then spent the next four years studying/training under Bikram, his wife Rajshree and senior teacher Emmy Cleaves. In 2000, she received her first yoga certification as a certified Bikram teacher and taught her first class at her home studio in Beverly Hills, Ca.  A year later, Marsha relocated to Israel as the first certified teacher to teach Bikram yoga in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. She traveled extensively teaching in over 50 studios throughout the U.S. and Israel with her mission to help bring peace to the world. In 2005, Marsha helped to open the first Bikram yoga studio in Israel.
