Hey! I’m Cassie Marantz, a yoga teacher formerly in Boston and now based in Asheville, North Carolina. I’ve been practicing yoga since 2003 and teaching since 2012. A reluctant yogi at the start, I’ve experienced firsthand how intentional yoga practice can change a person, from body to heart to nervous system.

Over the past decade, I’ve taught everywhere from gyms to rehabs to fancy yoga studios. My current teaching is centered on private and small group yoga in Asheville and online with a few select studio classes; I also facilitate trainings, workshops, and events.

I’m influenced by multiple movement modalities and yoga lineages. My practice and teaching includes components from vinyasa, Iyengar, Astanga, restorative, and yin. I also draw from “not exactly yoga” disciplines like physical therapy and mobility work, and non-asana limbs like meditation and pranayama.

I’m a 500-RYT through both South Boston Yoga and Boston Yoga School, where I am on the faculty. I’ve participated in numerous advanced trainings and workshops and will always be a student first. I am extraordinarily grateful to my teachers - thank you to Ame Wren and Daniel Max, among many others - and my amazing students, many of whom I’m lucky to now call friends.

I have a BA from Dartmouth College in Psychology and Brain Sciences. I’m eternally interested in the connections among body, brain, mind, spirit. I hit the jackpot when I met my husband, Kyle. We see a lot of music, read, travel, and laugh a lot.
