about marie & dawn

Marie and Dawn met in the early 1990’s during the step-aerobics era in Telluride, Colorado at the Telluride Athletic Club.

During their years of friendships with, yoga, hiking, girls dinners and birthday celebrations the idea grew to take Marie’s yoga classes out of the studios and to tropical destinations for growth, connection and self study. Both believe in the physics of infinite possibilities and the beauty of human potential and so the opportunity to bring people together in beautiful places to celebrate one another and practice yoga seemed like something they couldn’t pass up. Marie would do the teaching and Dawn would apply her science & business background into the logistics, organizing, coordinating, finances and communications.

It took some brainstorming and planning but in 2017, with their first Chakra Yoga Retreat in Costa Rica, the MarieGreenYoga Retreats were born. Now with two retreats happening each year, the memories, traditions, laughter and friendships continue to grow.
