ABOUT THE APPROACH
TAILORED.
PERSONAL.
THOUGHTFUL.
My work combines body-based approaches, movement, breath, mindfulness and contemporary knowledge of the nervous system and the relationship between the body, emotions and our inner experience.
Sessions may include relaxation techniques, guided imagery, meditation, rest and an exploration of bodily sensations. Rather than pushing the body or following a one-size-fits-all method, we work in a way that responds to how you feel, what you need and what feels manageable for you.
An important part of this work is developing simple, practical tools you can use in everyday life — helping you become more aware of your body, trust its signals and find a greater sense of stability and support within yourself.

ABOUT ME
Maša Marolt
My journey began over fifteen years ago with yoga, which gradually led me beyond movement towards a deeper exploration of the relationship between the body, nervous system and inner experience. Through my own experiences, I began to understand how profoundly life events, stress and emotional responses can also be reflected in the body.
This led me to pursue extensive training in yoga therapy, somatic practices and body-based approaches. I am a certified yoga therapist (Yoga Therapy Institute Amsterdam, IAYT), with additional training in somatic and body-based work. I continue to develop my practice through ongoing professional education.
Yet some of my most valuable learning comes from the people I work with. Each encounter reminds me how subtle and unique the human experience is, and how essential presence, openness and curiosity are to this work.

TESTIMONIALS
Real stories. Real change.
Personal experiences from people I’ve worked with.
“I have been dealing with problems in my cervical spine for several years. Through a combination of yoga therapy and functional exercise, Maša has found an approach that allows me to enjoy a better quality of life without pain. She is an exceptionally attentive therapist who always listens to how I am feeling and adapts the exercises to my needs on any given day. Her care and expertise make me feel safe and confident that I am in the best possible hands.”
Tina, 39“I have been living with symptoms of IBS and a hiatal hernia for many years, which have made everyday life quite challenging. Through Maša’s somatic practices and breathing techniques, I have found tools that bring me relief. The exercises, which I can also do at home, have genuinely helped me feel better and manage my symptoms more easily. I am learning to listen to my body and recognise what it really needs. Maša always listens and adapts the practice to how I am feeling. I am truly grateful for her support!”
Aleksandra, 49“A breast cancer diagnosis turns your world upside down, blurring the line between life and death. And one of Maša’s aims is to help you find your footing again. Her approach is what every patient hopes for: personal, empathetic, clear and effective. Swelling in my right upper arm, joint problems and neuropathy in my fingers are just some of the physical effects of the disease that Maša’s yoga therapy gently but effectively helps relieve. For cancer patients, the emotional aspect of therapy is especially important. Through her in-depth knowledge, compassion and playful love of life, Maša helps you find your way back to yourself. Maša sees you.”
Nataša, 51“After an accident in which I injured a vertebra, I struggled with uncertainty when walking for several months. Pain and fear of movement had taken away much of my independence. With patience, professional knowledge and carefully adapted exercises, Maša helped me gradually regain strength, balance and confidence in my body. The exercises were always adapted to my condition and progress, and I can practise them safely at home. Today, I walk more steadily, feel safer and have regained a greater sense of independence. What I appreciate most is her calm manner, clear instructions and the feeling that I am always in good hands.”
Božidar, 80BEFORE WE BEGIN
Getting started.
A free introductory phone or video call gives us an opportunity to explore what you currently need and whether my approach feels right for you.
If we decide to work together, our first session focuses on understanding your current situation, needs and the kind of approach that may support you best. Every session is tailored to the individual and can take place in person or online.
What happens during a session?
We begin with a conversation about how you are feeling and what you need. Each session takes shape as we go and may include movement, breathing practices, somatic techniques, relaxation, rest or mindful awareness. An important part of the process is developing simple, personalised tools and practices that you can use independently at home and between sessions. Over time, this can help you better understand your body and find more ways to support yourself in everyday life.
Do I need previous experience with yoga or movement?
No. You don't need any previous experience with yoga, exercise or other forms of movement. All practices are adapted to your current condition, abilities and needs.
Is this approach suitable if I have pain or a medical condition?
Body-based therapy may help relieve certain types of pain and provide support for some chronic conditions and health concerns. I always adapt my work to the individual and stay within the scope of my professional training. This approach is complementary and does not replace medical care, physiotherapy or psychological treatment.
What happens during the introductory call?
This short, free phone or video call is an opportunity for you to tell me what you're looking for and what you currently need. Together, we can explore whether my approach is suitable for you and whether working together feels like a good fit.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions take place in Trnovo, Ljubljana. Home visits are also available by arrangement, as are online sessions when appropriate. I primarily work one-to-one, but sessions for two or up to three people with similar needs, challenges or goals can also be arranged.
How often would we meet?
The frequency depends on your needs, goals and circumstances. We decide this together on an individual basis.
