Wellness with Marianna

Join Rosy Rose Herbalist in this month long nervous system support group. You will get a months supply of herbs , 2 workshops and a breathwork class with me. 🙂❤️

Vervain 'Verbena officinalis' is another one of the herbs that we will be working with during the 1 month 'rest re-set' nervous system herb support group.
This is another one of my favourite nervous system herbs, especially for when we hold tension in our neck and shoulders and like to make lots of lists of all the things we need to!

There's still a few spaces left, so please get in touch and I'll send some more info through; it's online and open to folks resident in Scotland. Herbs will be posted out, or can be collected from Falkland.

The group includes 2 herbalism classes with me and 1 breathwork relaxation session with Wellness with Marianna
a months supply of herbal medicine and support, inspiration and resources throughout the month.
It's £58 altogether and I will be blending and sending out the herbs next week ahead of it running 20th June - 20th July

Hey there! I’m Marianna — a yoga teacher, breathwork & cacao facilitator, and nutritionist based in Scotland 🌿
I help women reconnect to their bodies, move with less tension, and feel stronger + calmer in everyday life.

After my own journey through stress, burnout, and healing from injuries, I now teach sustainable, anatomy-informed movement that supports both body and nervous system. I want to teach yoga your body loves with mindfulness and awareness. I don’t focus on achievement or perfection but functional movement that fosters a balance of mobility and strength 💛

I’m a 500-hour certified teacher, trained in Hatha Yoga, Restorative Yoga(yoga somatics), Mat Pilates, and Relaxation practices, with over 10 years of practice and 6 years of teaching experience. I also hold a Master’s in Nutrition and love blending science-backed tools with soul-based practices. I love learning about anatomy and tools for nervous system support and stress relief.

Let’s move and breathe together 🌸

I read this poem from the book "Meditation: calming the Mind" by Bob Sharples and it really resonated with me so I thought to share it with you.

Most of us are often caught up in a goal-oriented approach to everything in life but this is a good reminder that meditation is achieved by letting go and being present.

It is simply coming back to our inherent nature, without the need to change or fix ourselves. A way to come back to who you truly are, and allow all else to drop away. This realization can bring lightness and easefulness to your practice.

Join us for a women’s cacao ceremony held in a yurt nestled in the beautiful Falkland woods. Together we will encounter the magic of cacao by the sacred fire and reflect on our intentions.

We will create a space of deep rest and nourishment, a dedicated time for self-care, self-reflection, intention setting, and calling forth balance. We will be using beautiful Guatemalan ceremonial cacao I recently brought back from an indigenous Mayan women’s collective.

What to expect:
*Ceremonial cacao & Intention setting
*Restorative yoga, somatic and intuitive movement
*Journalling & oracle cards
*Energy clearing with essential oils & herbs
*Guided sound journey and meditation

Today I wanted to touch on something that really runs true for me.

In my practice I like to really tune into my body, it’s needs , as well as its limitations . I don’t do anything that hurts or feels bad in my body. I don’t mean I chase only pleasure and avoid anything that challenges me but that I avoid anything that damages , anything my body says a clear no to.

I am yoga teacher , I have injuries from a past of not listening to the voice of my body , I am not super flexible and I can’t contort my body. And I am totally fine with that! My body is more balanced , stronger and I’m more in tune with my own needs .

So yes I am proud to say I bend my knees when I feel I need to , I avoid anything that doesn’t feel right , I use props, and I take rest when I need it. I keep practising and finding new dimensions of expression. Also, my practice goes way beyond the physical, into the mental , energetic and spiritual.

This is also something I encourage in my teaching and also when I hold space. No one knows you better than you , no one can know what you need and you are always your own best guide.

Listen to your self, and to your wisdom.

My daily routine & tips to start your own!

I wanted to share a little bit about what I do in my daily routine. I feel that this really helps me to start the day in a positive and grounded way. I do not always do the exact same plan I have included here and I certainly have days off. I feel like it's important to stay open and receptive to what you need each day and honor that.

Daily routine:

-Dental hygiene, tongue scraping & face care
-Water & herbal tea
-Yoga practice
-Breathwork & Meditation
-Breakfast

Tips to start your own routine:
-Start with small, achievable goals (5 minutes a day)
- Make a plan
-Ask yourself why it's important to you
-Do something you enjoy
- Explore different practices and be open to change
-Be patient it takes time to build new habits

What is your routine? Any practices you have been wanting to integrate into your daily living?

Morning practice

I woke up today feeling a bit emotional and disconnected. My urge was to scroll on my phone and go into the cycle of endless distraction.

Instead of letting that carry me away , I stopped made a cup of ceremonial cacao, lit some sage and a candle.

I sat in silence for a while and then I did some yoga. Now I feel back into my body, with a regulated nervous system , ready for the day ahead.

I am not saying do this , but give your self time, do whatever helps you get back into your body, the present and what’s real now. Come away from the endless cycle of stimulation.
