She has traveled extensively to teach at studios within the U.S. and Israel, and was the first certified Bikram yoga instructor to teach in Israel in 2001. Marsha continues her education in yoga by attending and participating in various yoga practices, classes and workshops. Most recently, she attended a week-long training with Ana Forrest in Venice, CA. Marsha uses the spiritual peaceand internal insight she has gained through her personal pursuit of yoga to guide her instruction.
