I’m Marine — a French professional dancer, choreographer, and yoga teacher.
Movement has shaped my entire life.

As a child, dance gave me my first sense of confidence — a place to express myself and feel strong in my own body. But as my career took me across Europe, I realized that confidence on stage didn’t always reflect confidence in life. Stress, pressure, self-doubt, and fear of the future followed me behind the scenes.

Yoga changed everything.
It taught me to breathe, to listen, and to choose from trust instead of fear. It helped me heal emotionally, reconnect with my needs, quit smoking, and feel grounded again. Yoga gave me a deeper kind of confidence — the one that comes from within.

After graduating from the National Ballet School of Marseille, I danced for ballet companies in Germany and spent nearly ten years as a contemporary dancer with Aura Dance Theatre in Lithuania, performing and creating worldwide. Along the way, I also faced injuries, anxiety, and the silent mental load dancers often carry.

My personal practice — yoga, breathwork, mobility, and dance improvisation — became my anchor. These tools helped me calm my nervous system, prevent injuries, expand my range of motion, and rediscover joy in movement.

They eventually gave me the courage to leave my full-time company position and step into life as a freelance performer, choreographer, and yoga teacher.
Studio Yog’art was born during that transition — long before I knew it would lead me to more freedom, purpose, and connection.
