Vision
I want to see a world where anyone and everyone is free to engage in practices that bring out the best in them. Where children and youth are nurtured and empowered to take good care of their physical, mental, and emotional health. Where young and old make the effort to listen and understand the perspectives and life experiences of others. Where division and the “us vs. them” mentality is disintegrated, so we can make the choices and changes that will liberate all of us. Where EVERYONE is welcome as long as they’re willing to learn and unlearn what’s necessary to create safe, healing spaces for their own wellness and the wellbeing of others. Where people prioritize the daily habits and rituals that nourish their minds, bodies, and spirits, so that they’re able to show up as the best version of themselves for the benefit of their families, communities, and the greater world around them.

I first found out about yoga when I was in middle school. I had a friend with hippie
parents who used to show us yoga poses and dance around with us. After that, I would see videos or tv shows with women and men doing yoga and started to practice a bit on my own. It came naturally to me as a beginner because I was in tune with my body via dance
lessons (jazz, tap, and ballet) and yoga helped improve my flexibility. It was just a form
of physical exercise for me.
I didn’t know there was so much more to it, so I focused on standing on my head and putting my body in cool shapes like all the yogis I saw. After years of the stop-and-go game with my practice, a series of difficult life events happened in 2019 that lead me back to the mat for good. I completed my 200-hr yoga teacher training, along with additional trainings in Yoga for Mental Health, kids yoga and mindfulness, chair yoga, yoga fit, meditation, and trauma informed.
My lifestyle, perspectives, and relationships improved greatly. As a forever student of the practice, I hope to guide and assist many individuals on their journeys to liberation or Samadhi (sanskrit), on and off the mat.

Peace!
I am Marissa Robinson but my students call me Miss Riss! I am all things but my purpose in this lifetime is to protect, inspire, & educate children. I fulfill this in many ways; as a student of Mother Earth, a reading & literacy tutor, a social-emotional learning instructor with horses, a conscious role model, and a future youth clinical mental health counselor & equine facilitated psychotherapist. I have also worn the hats of a behavioral technician at an early intervention autism center, a horseback riding instructor, a camp counselor, a nanny, a big cousin & sister, a church youth leader, & so much more.
Recently, I have been called to collaborate with like-minded others to help bridge the education gap, specifically, with literacy. In Detroit alone, 40% of students graduate with less than a 4th-grade reading level and in the United States, it is necessary to have at least a 4th-grade reading level to fill out a job application! This is an alarming statistic but with a consciously active community, pure intention, equity in access to resources, and appropriate role modeling we can work together to ensure our children are set up to thrive and succeed in their communities and the world!
May your crown be protected, your mind clear, your eyes be open, your tongue speak intentionally, your heart be pure, your gut healthy, and your seat rooted in the Earth’s infinite wisdom. Asè
Gratitude for our connection,
Miss Riss

My first teacher was Juilliard Creative Nathan Hirshaut. I was recommended by my tarot reader who said I should be “confronted about the limitations” I set for myself. And as the Gods intended, I learned more in 3 classes than I did in 9 years of acting on and off the stage. The precise movements and breathing, the chants and the history introduced values I still hold to this day. Faith and Discernment. A group of body enthusiasts, showed me how to take inventory of the human experience in order to wield my energy and anatomy intentionally. And I intend to do the same in any space I hold.
