Marty Budinger

Marty trained in Martial Arts for over 10 years before finding his way to yoga. He initially saw yoga as a short-term strategy to increase his flexibility and further his martial arts training but quickly became hooked on the mental benefits as well as the physical. Marty's initial 200-hour certification was Baptiste Yoga-inspired and he completed his 500-hour certification in Universal Yoga. He teaches power vinyasa classes with an eye towards safe alignment and fun transitions. Marty has a passion for strong classes as well as arm balances and inversions. He’s excited to share his creative sequencing and advanced postures with our teacher training students this Fall!
