yoga STUDIO
Practice yoga and find your inner peace
My home studio is surrounded by palm trees, birdsong, butterflies and the kind of stillness that only Mother Nature can create. It’s intimate, personal, and imperfect in the most perfect way.
This garden space has been my sanctuary, and now I get to share it with others. There’s an energy here — like nature herself is holding space for women to heal, grow, rest, and rise.
Yoga here feels different. There’s no harsh lighting, no echo, no rush. Just you, the breath,
the earth beneath you, and the sky above.
Why My Yoga Classes Are Different
This isn’t just yoga. It’s a return to yourself.
If you’ve ever walked into a yoga class and felt out of place, not flexible enough, too stiff, too anxious, or just “not yoga enough” — I see you.
My classes are about real people, real bodies, real emotions, and the kind of connection that goes far beyond the poses. Whether you’re brand new to yoga or you’ve been practicing for years, you’ll find something here that speaks to you — movement, breath, laughter, presence, and deep grounding.

I've only been doing yoga for a month with Mary-Anne, but the difference I feel in my back is incredible. My whole body feels more balanced. My breathing and my mind are centered. Mary-Anne has created a safe, calm and uplifting space where there is no judgement, only love and acceptance
Vicki Nilsen
Joining Thrive Naturally Yoga has been a beautiful journey of grounding and awakening.
It's more than just Yoga, not only does Mary-Anne guide your body into the correct postures, she also guides you deeper into yourself and into your own truth in such a beautiful way. Thrive Naturally Yoga holds a beautiful space to awaken the mind, body and soul and our teacher connects with you on every part with each class. I would definitely recommend joining if you want to make a positive change in your life and become part of a supportive community.

Yoga with Mary-Anne is a joy. She is a relaxed yet focused yoga teacher adapting according to her students. Her passion for the discipline shines through in class.
Yolanda Whitfield
When I feel anxious or down, Mary-Anne Brink’s Thrive Naturally Yoga is exactly what I need. Her calming voice and gentle technique bring me closer to my soul, reminding me of the power of breath and the importance of meeting myself exactly where I am. From sun salutations to downward dog, every movement is guided in a way that makes it accessible to everyone in the room. Mary-Anne creates a beautiful environment filled with light, love, and acceptance. Be brave, take the step—her classes are truly transformative
Charlotte Moore
Mary-Anne arrives at yoga like sunlight spilling across the floor. Smiling and happy she rolls out her mat with the same joy one might reserve for greeting an old friend. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Students who come in weary and distracted somehow leave lighter and calmer.
In class, Mary-Anne’s voice has a lilting warmth, guiding each breath and stretch as if she were speaking only to you. She never rushes. She never scolds. Instead, she encourages mindfulness with a calm voice. Somehow your shoulders melt, your jaw unclenches and your body remembers how to listen. She celebrates wobbles and crooked poses with laughter, reminding everyone that yoga isn’t about perfection but presence. Her patience runs deep and she has a gift for seeing people, not just their alignment, but their effort and their quiet triumphs.
With Mary-Anne, yoga feels less like exercise and more like coming home, to your body, your breath, yourself.
Donree Wilkinson
Gently stretching and connecting with your body in beautiful surroundings! There is no better way to start your day!
Vanessa Oelmann
Mary-Anne is so warm and welcoming when you arrive at her class. There is no clock watching in her sessions and you leave feeling rejuvanated and can’t wait for the next session.
Bev Croock
Mary-Anne greets you with a big smile as you settle onto your mat. Calm collected & grounded. I love her setting of the scene - insence, music, theme,
frankincense, blocks, and a good deep breath to start relaxing.
She moves you through lovely flowing yoga. Good stretches, cool moves to loosen the muscles & joints.
You leave with a calm mind, a happy body & a lifted spirit.
She oozes experience & knowingness. Everyone enjoys her class.

Mary-Anne creates a safe and sacred space for women to come and join. She creates a sense of community for people to come together and to freely express themselves....this done through different mediums. Her yoga practice is focused on a spiritual journey of the self through movement and breath. Fully engaging with each person to unleash the very best versions of themselves. She gives people the space and freedom to be who they are and nurture them to thrive in life
Shanthini Kesaru-Anthony
Enthusiasm! That is the word I would use to describe Mary-Anne. She does everything with great enthusiasm and it is that frequency that is contagious. She inspires her students and has an authentic humanness. She is not pretentious and she does not come across as this enlightened spiritual holier than thou being. She is just who she is in all her glory
Elize Rothmann
I started yoga at Thrive Naturally Yoga the moment my beautiful friend (Mary-Anne) graduated and became a yoga teacher. She is absolutely fitting for her role, if anyone was born to be a Yoga teacher it is Mary-Anne. Her energy is amazing, and you feel welcomed the moment you meet her. I have personally done yoga on and off for the last 18 years, connecting with yoga teachers along the way. Mary-Anne brings a whole new light to yoga. This is the first time I feel like I am perfecting my poses and using my breath work the right way. I absolutely LOVE Thrive Naturally Yoga! Beginner or expert, you will all feel welcomed. Mary-Anne will help you find your missing “Peace” of your Puzzle….. With Love and Light and many more peak poses…
Nadine O’Brien
I absolutely adore Mary-Anne’s yoga sessions—they are the perfect antidote to my fast-paced life. As a fitness coach constantly on the move, carving out an hour to be gently led by Mary-Anne is nothing short of blissful. Her calm, intuitive guidance helps me reconnect with my breath, ground myself, and move with intention.
In a world that rarely pauses, these moments of stillness are essential. Taking time to simply be —to breathe, release, and reset—is one of the most powerful ways to lower cortisol and invite calm back into the body. And truly, there’s no one I’d rather have holding that space than Mary-Anne. She brings such presence and grace to every session.
What I treasure most? I get to just be the student. No leading, no instructing—just pure, uninterrupted restoration for my mind, body, and soul
Michelle Coates
My yoga class with Maty-Anne was a truly wonderful experience. Her gentle guidance and calming presence created a space where I could fully relax, reconnect and restore. I left feeling lighter, centered, and deeply refreshed. Can't wait for many more sessions.
