“Working with Marion has enabled me to connect with an inner truth, something that felt urgent and elusive at the same time. Her teaching is exquisite. She creates an atmosphere of trust and engagement, in which life flows uninterrupted and unjudged. I think this is due to her honoring, respecting and making space for everybody's own path and ability to discover. Each class I receive an opportunity to witness wholeness in each of the participants and reencounter that wholeness within myself. For me, these practices have finally given somatic work the meaning it upholds: a learning that is life-giving.”

“Deep connections no matter how far away we are, that's how I experience Marion's beautiful somatic awareness Casacuerpa classes. My sister and brother-in-law invited me to attend since Marion offers them weekly on zoom. I wake up Sunday mornings with the anticipation of gentle invitations to awareness, the opportunity to sense into myself, curling and stretching in different ways, while sharing the experience with other sweet people including my close relations on the other side of the continent. The combination of experiential movement with drawing and sharing our thoughts and impressions helps me stay in touch with myself, centered, and growing. Marion is a gifted teacher whose authenticity is a treasure.”

“Marion is a teacher who brings an incredible sense of warmth to each of her classes. Whatever your body and mind are experiencing in this difficult time, she offers you a place to lay your head, focus on your breath, and tune into your somatic experience—allowing you to uncover, through movement, your body's wisdom. I especially appreciated how her bilingually taught classes gave me, someone who speaks English but not Spanish, an invitation to slow down and move with each prompt longer than I normally might, appreciating the sound of a another language as an added texture in my experience”

—  Maddie Hopfield, New York

“CasaCuerpa was an oasis in the midst of a busy and stressful time. It was beautiful to be in community with others while connecting with the life of our bodies and voices”

— Robert Bingham, Phialadelphia

“Marion is magical with kids! With her playfulness and sensitivity, she facilitates a nourishing presence and connection. She always seems to invite kids and adults into movements that we’ve been longing for!”

— Merryl Gladstone, Philadelphia
