Mara’s guidance into the full moon in Pisces was empowering and skill-building. As always, Mara generously gave so much of her energy towards ensuring we found tools that help us know and love ourselves in our daily life. I received so much wisdom from the session and look forward to the next!
Thank you so much for your offerings and making them so accessible. Your teachings resonate so deeply, and the wisdom you share always ignites sparks of epiphanies and deep understanding of the human experience.

Mara has been teaching all-levels yoga classes for us for several years. At the onset of the pandemic, a time when we all needed to be mindful of our wellness, we were grateful she was able to switch to virtual classes and add guided meditation sessions. Mara’s professionalism and knowledge of mindfulness techniques are remarkable. Her classes are engaging, inspirational, and heartfelt. I don’t know how she does it, but she always knows exactly what each of her participants needs, and she can align her teachings accordingly on short notice and with grace. I always walk away from her classes feeling lighter, happier, and grounded. Thank you, Mara! You have made a positive impact on our lives.
I am ever so grateful for all of these beautiful spirit sessions, they have opened my heart and mind in so many ways but especially to new poets…thank you for continuing to offer online practices, especially for those of us who still do not have access to a studio.
Thanks Mara! One of the silver linings of the pandemic has been the ability to take classes with you. We enjoy your teaching and spirit, which has buoyed us in these challenging times.
Thank you so much! You have made a lasting, guiding mark in my life, particularly during these times.

I had truly a live changing spirit wash over me at the Radiant Soul Retreat. I am so very thank full for you and the incredible space that was held in paradise!!
Before the vivid luster of Haramara fades away, please accept my thanks for creating yet another beautiful and memorable week in my life and helping me to draw into myself and remember the joys of being in nature and making new friends. The retreat always seems to attract a cadre of people whom I would like to carry with me in my “bag of friends” for the rest of my days. I came to the experience seeking love and peace, and I got that, and so much more.
Making my way back home and thinking about this past week with profound gratitude for you and this retreat experience! From the grace, compassion and depth of knowledge you share at every session to the raw beauty of the space and the coastal setting, it was simply magical. I definitely feel like it was a much needed reset for me. Thank you again for leading us all.

Today marks my last mentor session with Mara Branscombe. What a beautiful journey we did together. We both witnessed transformational work that happens when one is ready to shed down layers of the old/past and eagerly stepping into a new life chapter, shape shifting into a new version of reality. I am forever grateful for the container in which I felt safe, supported, listened to, and loved. I highly recommend her yoga classes, one of the best, her workshops, her retreats, her mentorship. Her everything.
Mara is an extraordinary teacher and healer. During our mentorship, she lovingly and gently held space for me and the process. Drawing on her diverse and deep wisdom she provided me with tools to take into my own experience and practice. Since working with Mara my creativity and productivity is flourishing and I feel blessed to have more knowledge upon which to draw as I continue on my own path. Simply put, Mara’s ability to elevate and move from a place of intuition in supporting those she works with is magic.
