🎨Our "Meet the Collective" series continues today as we celebrate the incredibly multifaceted and creative energy of Marla Dobbs Hawkins (Cultivate Creative Cafe)!🎨
Marla is a deeply experienced guide, bringing over 13 years of personal practice and 5 years of teaching experience to our community. But her magic doesn't stop on the mat—as both an arts educator and a mental health counselor in training, Marla expertly bridges the gap between physical yoga, deep mindfulness, and the healing power of expressive arts. 🤎
She is also the visionary owner of Cultivate Creative Cafe, an inspiring arts and wellness business. Marla’s classes are a unique, soulful sanctuary where movement becomes a canvas for self-expression, emotional processing, and holistic healing. 🧘🏾♀️
Whether you are looking to ground your nervous system, explore your creativity, or find a deeper connection to your mental well-being, Marla provides the perfect, nurturing environment to help you flourish.
Meet Marla on the mat! ☀️ This summer, Marla will be at Community Family Life & Recreation Center at Lyon Park on Thursdays from 5- 6 p.m. Follow her on social media for more info! ☀️
Please show Marla some love and welcome her in the comments below! 👇🏽
