Ariel Marcoux is a certified yoga instructor, personal trainer, physical therapy aide, and licensed EMT. Ariel was born in Bronxville, New York but grew up on Nantucket Island. She graduated from Bard College in 2003 and has since lived in Spain and Chicago, Illinois. She completed her teacher training with Pure Yoga in Chicago and has studied extensively at Moksha Yoga, Chicago and Back Bay Yoga in Boston.

 

Ariel's class style is predominantly Vinyasa Flow with an emphasis on moving mindfully from one pose to the next, linking breath to movement. Ariel’s classes stress careful alignment of each Asana, carefully working with and around injuries or limitations.

 

She began her fitness career after obtaining her personal training certification with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) where she worked as a personal trainer at Equinox and David Barton Gym in Chicago. Ariel incorporates aspects of athletic training, creative core work, and corrective exercise into all of her classes.

 

Ariel’s own Yoga practice has been greatly influenced by the Asthtanga lineage, the teachings of Ana Forrest, and The Vesica Vinyasa Yoga Technique.

 

Ariel is passionate about horseback riding, dogs, boxing, Flamenco dance, and music.  She sets studio classes to eclectic play lists mixing Pop, Rock, Electronic, and World music.  Ariel is bilingual and offers Yoga and fitness instruction in Spanish and English.
