Marta Berry Yoga Biography

Marta Berry is originally from Barcelona, Spain. Marta began her adult life with a sense of wonder and adventure. By the age of 25, Marta had spent extended periods in Mexico City, London, New York City, and on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza. She had stood atop ancient pyramids, experienced the glamour of Manhattan and the depravity of the poor Hispanic boroughs of New York. She had led the free-spirited life of private jet stewardess in Europe and resort beach exercise instructor in Ibiza. Yet by 25, Marta began to feel spiritual inquietudes and a seeking for a deeper enlightenment. Marta becomes a member of the world-peace and healing organization Sukyo Mahikari. Marta studied the teachings of the Buddhist mystics and the practice of the divine art of purification through Mahikari. Mahikari, a Japanese practice involving energy shared and exchanged through one-on-one healing meditation, is based on long standing eastern philosophic and physical principles (for example, chi and the chakras). Marta studied Mahikari in Paris, Luxemburg, the US, and in Japan. Finding release and a discovery of new ways of understanding the existence of humanity and the individual, Marta grew on an intimate spiritual journey.

On the last day of 1996, Marta moved to Miami, Florida. She meet Paul Berry and they married in 1999. It was during this time in Miami that she began an active and concentrated study of yoga. Taking classes in various studios, with the knowledge that yoga is another space to grow on the spiritual path, Marta met Rossella Rossi. Yogi Rossella Rosi inspired and motivated Marta to enter yoga instruction and in 2005, Marta completed foundation teacher training with Rossela at the Namaste Healing center in Asheville, NC.

Since she became a yoga instructor, Marta Berry has studied with several contemporaneous Masters including: Richard Freeman, Natasha Rizopolous, Baxter Bell, Shiva Rea, John Friend, Desiree Rumbaugh, and Sienna Sherman, among others - being mostly inspired by the unique & talented spiritual activist Ms. Sean Corn.

In 2008 Marta developed a unique program to enrich and help yoga students to rediscover their own inner teacher. Since she has been approved as a “Yoga School RYS” by the Yoga Alliance (YA), Marta has been traveling between Spain and the USA teaching her unique, affordable, and easy program, serving communities, helping others to learn about the connection between body, mind, and spirit, and inspiring students to become Leaders of Yoga.
