About Maysan Marouf
Maysan is a student and teacher of yoga. After several years of practicing yoga, she completed the first ever 200-Hour Four Week Intensive YogaWorks Teacher Training course held in Beirut in August 2014, which was led by Sarah Ezrin (an experienced Yoga teacher based in Los Angeles) and organized by Lulia Turk of Breathe the Yoga Studio. She combines breath awareness, flow, alignment and intelligent sequencing in her classes whilst drawing from other yoga lineages and emphasizing yoga as a path rather than just a physical practice. Her interest in well-being in all its dimensions is supported by her academic background, as she holds a BS in Environmental Health and Masters in Environmental Sciences (with a focus on Ecosystem Management) from the American University of Beirut. She is a certified aromatherapy practitioner since 2009 and enjoys finding ways to incorporate essential oils in our daily lives and in other holistic healing practices. Maysan has studied many other different holistic techniques which have contributed to her spiritual growth and skills as a healer, such as crystal healing, Reiki ( Master since 2009), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Quantum Touch, Thetahealing, Flower Essence Therapy, and most recently in 2014 she has been certified as an Access Bars practitioner. She is also an environmental education specialist and a published writer.
