MARISSA NIELSEN-PINCUS is dedicated to movement, believing in its power to balance, heal, and energize. Her classes are focused and exploratory, incorporating alignment and breath to bring the whole self into balance and openness. Marissa did her teacher training at the Yoga Center of Brooklyn. She has continued to study with Anusara and Iyengar teachers and is currently inspired by the work of Irene Dowd and Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen. Born in Portland, Oregon, Marissa began dancing at the age of 4. She studied contemporary dance at the London Studio Center and lived for 4 years in London, studying and performing around England. Here in New York she performs with Third Rail Dance and does low flying trapeze with Fly By Night Dance Theater. She would like to thank all her teachers and students for their constant inspiration.
