Marjorie Ames

Marjorie Ames began practicing yoga in 1989 and has taught at Sun and Moon since 2018. A career diplomat who retired recently, she brought her yoga practice with her and benefitted from the experience of many extraordinary teachers during her assignments abroad. At Sun & Moon she has found a supportive and welcoming community of inspiring teachers and students. Marjorie participated in Sun and Moon’s 2016-17 Foundations In-Depth Teacher Training Program and received her 200-hour certification in 2019. She is currently completing Sun and Moon's 300-hour Dharma program. In August 2023, she received a Yin / Insight Yoga Primary Level Training certification from the Sarah and Ty Powers Insight Yoga Institute. She is also an accredited teacher of Yoga For Healthy Aging, having completed the training in that specialization offered by Baxter Bell, MD, 500-ERYT and Melina Meza, B.S.N., 500-ERYT in August 2020.

Marjorie is also an experienced practitioner of Reiki, and received her Second Degree certification in the Usui System of Natural Healing (Usui Shiki Ryoho) in November 2017. She offers individual Reiki sessions as part of Sun and Moon's Wellness Collective at the Studio in Arlington.

Her yoga teaching approach is informed by the interplay between movement, breath, and the energetic level of experience. She regularly offers workshops on mindfulness and meditation that integrate gentle or restorative movement with contemplative practices. She believes passionately that yoga is for every body and encourages students to listen to their own wisdom and be curious about what is happening moment by moment. Her classes integrate meditative moments and longer holds in yoga shapes with mindful movement.
