ABOUT

TYLER MARRU

Artist. Writer. Yoga obsessed creature.

I believe in honoring all facets of the self; mind, body, emotions, energy, and spirit. My work is rooted in the understanding that true wellness comes from integrating these dimensions, and I strive to create spaces where people can connect with themselves fully, without judgment.

​

As a facilitator of movement, posture, and mindfulness, I guide students to cultivate strength, awareness, and presence. My classes are thoughtfully sequenced, dynamic, and challenging, both mentally and physically, offering a journey of self-discovery, and resilience.

​

Yoga first became a consistent companion during my university years in New Orleans, providing a way to process anxiety and depression. Through mindful, intentional movement, I discovered liberation in my own body and the power of fully feeling and inhabiting each moment.

​

After graduation and a period in the non-profit world, I returned to the Bay Area and dove deeper into yoga, completing multiple teacher trainings. I fell in love with its history, expansiveness, and the freedom it offers to explore the human experience. Yoga continually inspires me to observe, pivot, and evolve- cultivating curiosity and a deeper understanding of ourselves along the way.

​

Beyond the mat, I am an artist- writer, painter, and ceremonialist. Yoga has not only strengthened my body and mind but has nurtured these creative impulses, allowing me to integrate movement, expression, and self-discovery into every aspect of my life.

Our stories shape how we move through the world, offering insight into who we are, but they don’t define us entirely.

​

A truer reflection of me comes through the things I love most, and the moments that make me feel fully alive, in no particular order:

​

  • The vast, uncontainable ocean

  • Deep connection to nature + honoring our reflection in it

  • The sacred, divine feminine

  • Spiritual rituals and mindful practices

  • The dark, mysterious, and unexpected (taxidermy +skulls)

  • Yoga, as both practice and inspiration

  • Music — its vibrations, sounds, and power to move the body and mind

  • Reading, learning, books, reading, books

  • Neuroscience, psychology, and understanding how we think and feel

  • Holistic healing and herbal remedies

  • The color black: simple, comforting, elusive

  • An enormous coffee mug that resembles more of a bowl

  • My beloved dog, Sirius

​

These are the things that illuminate life for me, grounding me, inspiring me, and reminding me of the beauty in curiosity, connection, and presence.
