Heaven On Earth Yoga
by Marianne
Marianne is the owner and teacher of Heaven on Earth Yoga. She was born and raised in The Netherlands and moved to Switzerland when she was 20 years old. She ended up staying there for 17 years and became an Esthetician. This is also where she started practicing yoga. In 1983 she moved to the US. The love for yoga was always pushing her to find a good teacher and in 1998 she finally found the teacher and was accepted into the training program.
Practice Yoga
Anytime, Anywhere.
She started to teach right after graduation in December 1998 at the Palos Community Fitness center. When she moved to Oak Park in 2000 she opened her first Yoga Studio “Heaven On Earth Yoga” on Lake Street in River Forest. Then eventually stopped teaching at the fitness center and offered more classes at the studio.

After at some point having 2 yoga studios and several teachers teaching there, now it is back to simple and from a home studio teaching through Zoom. "It is amazing how technology can work. We can save gas, while we don’t have to drive anywhere, we don’t have to fight the elements for a parking spot. Everyone can join right from their home. How much better can it get? On top of that there are no restrictions where you live, the world is our class room. How wonderful is that?"
