About MarlaYoga
Why I love teaching yoga
One of my greatest joys is teaching and sharing the benefits of yoga with others. With a growth mindset and “yoga toolbox”, my students and clients feel calmer, stronger, flexible, balanced, and empowered in body and mind to make their dreams reality!
My heart is happy seeing students progress and grow into their best self with a consistent yoga and wellness practice.

“This was absolutely wonderful! I looked forward to it each day and will bring so much with me moving forward, both in practice and just in life. Thanks again for this wonderful opportunity!” —Emily L.
My journey
Yoga has given me tools to connect with my authentic self, feel strong, flexible, balanced, and focused in each season of my life.
But, it wasn’t always that way…
I began my yoga journey while working as a graphic designer at MAD Magazine in New York City in the 90’s.
As a graphic designer, I spent hours sitting scrunched and looking at a computer, which compounded aches and pain in my back due to scoliosis. It was a fun work environment at MAD Magazine, but I needed relief from sitting too much and the fast pace of stressful big city living.
After trying a few yoga classes after work I felt more at ease, balanced, and strong from the inside out.
It was wonderful to stretch and release tension after sitting at a desk for most of the day and literally “pounding the pavement” of NYC walking to most destinations. My consistent yoga practice alleviated lower back pain symptoms and I felt balanced, strong, and at ease in my body and mind.
Inspired by my physical and emotional health improving, I began my journey to become a certified yoga teacher.
I felt my true north calling to become a yoga instructor and teach others this powerful practice for better strength, flexibility, balance, and focus.
Fast forward to my life now in Montana after living in New York City for 23 years…
Everything can begin again with a deep breath. While transitions may pose challenges, there is always a fresh way forward with new opportunities. In 2016 I moved back to Montana with my husband and three children.
As a seasoned yoga teacher with 18 years of experience, I am thrilled to help you get back-to-basics and begin again with movement, mindset, and motivation.

What others are saying…
Marla is a wonderful yoga teacher! Her classes are uplifting and energizing, and are accessible for all levels. Highly recommend.
Marla’s online Zoom yoga classes have been a lifesaver during this Covid-19 lockdown. Her teaching is very detailed, with many subtle instructions on how to improve form and alignment. The class flows beautifully from one asana to the next, building up in heat and then gradually cooling down. I would recommend Marla’s class to all levels of Yogis, beginner to advanced, as all will benefit.
Marla Wyche’s yoga classes are amazing! She is very passionate about her practice and it shows in her classes. I usually attend her Saturday morning class (which is a vinyasa flow) and it is one of my favorite hours of the week!! All of her other classes are outstanding as well. Thank you Marla! I always feel so great and refreshed every time I take your classes.
I started taking Saturday morning flow with Marla at the Canyons Athletic Club but now that we are all practicing social distancing, I do the class through Zoom. Marla is a wonderful teacher and I look forward to the class all week.
