★★★★★ 5 Stars
"Marissa Nolan is a dynamo! She is lively, energetic, strong and forthright. She has a way of giving you confidence when you need it. The recent yoga trek and retreat that I attended in Nepal facilitated by Marissa was an amazingly enriching experience. As a newcomer to yoga, Marissa was able to share lots of yoga routines and meditations that I have been able to weave into my daily routine, in a busy lifestyle. The immersion into Nepali village Himalayan life, outdoor yoga and meditation in the mountains was divine! Marissa’s very personal way of facilitating her ethical retreats adds a special meaningful resonance to the experience. The retreat also raised funds for a local social project that we visited, as part of Marissa’s ‘ethical tours’ sponsorship.” This was very humbling".
