XAbout Embodied Astrology®
XEmbodied Astrology® is a body-based practice which I created to combine the tools of Yoga with the theories of Astrology. Designed to help you align your body and your life with the energies around you, it is:
1. Ephemeral
Every practice is different, because every day the solar system is in a different configuration. Like our lives, our bodies and our personalities, the sky is deeply nuanced and changing every moment.
2. Body-focussed
We are bombarded with information through our eyes and through words. This is a place to study Astrology through movement, breath and meditation.
3. Self-inquisitive
The Astrology I practise is not about prediction, and neither is this. I encourage self-reflection, self-understanding and self-agency.

Marianne's classes are very intuitive. The movement physically is challenging but mentally comforting. I come out invigorated and would highly recommend.
Private Sessions
Tailored to you, this is a 1-1 session which can include any combination of Astrology, Reiki and Yoga practices. In person at 193 Park View, Whitley Bay.
The tools of Yoga are physically, mentally, and energetically transformative. Individualised sessions with a professional will usually give you a safer and more effective selection and application of these tools. This is what I call a therapeutic approach.
In private meetings, I will offer you a set of practical exercises designed to bring a specific area of your life, or your body into greater balance. I choose these activities from the range of traditional and contemporary practices which I’ve trained in, including Yoga asana sequences (physical exercises), pranayama (energetic exercises), Chakra and Vayu work (Yogic anatomy), and Yoga Nidra (guided visualisation). If desired, we can also incorporate Astrology and/or Reiki.
Building on my Hatha and Vinyasa trainings, I developed this therapeutic approach through my studies with a school called Ajna Yoga Therapy in Victoria, British Columbia. I undertook a number of training modules with their amazing faculty between 2017-18.

About Marianne
Teaching Yoga since 2014, my practice draws from a range of schools and techniques including Vinyasa, Hatha/Raja, Yin and Nidra. I’m also a Reiki practitioner and an Astrologer, and these modalities feed into my Yoga teaching.
I’ve been deep in the practice of Yoga in all its forms since 2009, and I have studied extensively and with a variety of teachers in the UK and North America. I focus on guiding my clients into internal awareness. The goal is to balance and harmonise the body (and life) so that transformation and healing can take place.
I have ~800 hours of Yoga Alliance certified training in Hatha, Vinyasa, and Therapeutic Yoga, as well as ~18 years of personal practice and study with a variety of teachers. I began seriously practicing western Astrology around 2018, and have been reading charts for other people since 2020.
