Biography

Hi, my name is Mariela, I am a business administrator with a marketing / finance major and a minor in psychology. More than 12 years ago I decided to make a radical turn, shifting from the finance world to working with children as a yoga instructor. In 2009 I opened the first yoga studio for kids in Costa Rica and have worked with hundreds of kids since, sharing my passion for their overall well-being. Always looking for personal growth opportunities and after countless yoga certifications for adults and children of all ages, I learned about positive psychology and the practice of mindfulness and meditation. Having experienced a positive change in my life through these practices, I quickly decided to incorporate this knowledge with children and adolescents. Gradually, through my work with children in the yoga studio and in the school system, I saw the need to share the benefits of these practices to help the adults who interact and work with children on a daily basis, thus resulting in coaching for adults. My purpose and passion are to help people live a happier, fuller and more abundant life. I seek to guide people to become the best version of themselves, believing in their potential and creativity, and designing the life they have always wanted to live.
