Some years ago, together with a group of international yoga teachers, Marion started thinking about and working out the concept of bringing yoga to Tanzania, specifically Arusha, by training young Tanzanian adults to become qualified yoga teachers, who could offer adult, children and teenager yoga sessions. Being inspired by one of the main branches of yoga, Karma Yoga, Marion aimed at offering ‘selfless service’ to the wider community, guiding  young Tanzanian adults to become yoga teachers and by doing so bringing yoga to children and teenagers at schools and communities but also to adults, and people with physical disabilities. The motive behind this mission was to bring people, especially children, in contact with yoga at a young age, so they would benefit for the rest of their lives from the yoga techniques.  Another motive was to facilitate Tanzanian adults with the possibility to become independent, knowledgeable yoga teachers and to gain an income from teaching.
