Bob Mareiniss

Co-Owner & Lead Teacher

Bob's been practicing yoga since 2005 after being introduced to Hatha Yoga, then to the heat of Bikram’s Hot 26 Series in 2010, and never turned back. He is one of Nirvana's very own Yoga Alliance 200 RYT teacher training graduates from 2016, following on over the next three years to receive RYT training in Hot 26 and Fusion, Hatha Yoga including the Bandhas, Yin Yoga and Insight Meditation. Over the years of repetitive motion sports such as running and cycling he became motivated by its reminder about the body’s need to recover, heal, and seek varied movements and modalities for achieving ultimate health. With a more holistic lifestyle and striving for a more compassionate non-egoic mind, the yoga fostered by its mind-body connection can accomplish so much. He believes we all can take the experience and conditioning built on our mats into daily living, even the business and corporate world! He's fond of the adage "subtle changes add up to big gains", the transformation starts now.
Bob teaches Hot 26, Power Fusion, and Yin Yoga.
