Perfect! Mari was patient and supportive on top of being obviously very qualified. She took the time to get to know my starting skill level and broke down the moves into understandable components and drills.

Perfect! Mari was a great teacher and very pleasant and professional to work with. I had no previous experience at all and in general I'm nervous when it comes to things like this. She was able to get me moving around the rink in only two lessons and was very understanding of taking things at my pace, while also pushing me out of my comfort zone. She was always on time and very easy to work with in terms of scheduling. I recommend coach Mari to anyone who is interested in picking up roller skating!

Perfect! Mari is an amazing teacher! She is patient and kind. Her expertise and knowledge of skating is unmatched. I went from being terrified of moving from the spot I was standing in to actually roller skating around the entire ring within my first lesson :). I am happy I was able to connect with her through this site. I highly recommend!

Great connection - even if the class was virtual over zoom - we covered so much! I am glad the drills I suggest helped you nailing down backward crossover and pivoting.

Great teaching you how to go downhill on inline skates and different breaking techniques. I am glad I had the opportunity to add a little rolling dance move at the end of the lesson. That was fun!

Perfect! Mari is a phenomenal teacher! I haven’t gone roller skating since I was a kid and I was never very good at it but I’m absolutely amazed by how quickly I’m learning. She studies your movements and coaches you on how to improve your technique. I was able to learn the crossover turn and other tricks because Mari is very patient and encouraging.

Mari is really easy to relax and get along with and explains everything right from scratch if that’s what you need. She will assess your ability really fast and tailor the session to suit you perfectly. She put me at ease immediately and gave me the confidence to skate with pleasure as I used to, guiding me gently and encouraging me lots. A really fantastic teacher.

What age did you start playing sport? Tell us about this time or moment in your life.
I skate since I was 8 years old. This sport brings back many wonderful memories, especially the one about my figure skate team in Italy.
What are your favourite sports; those that you practice at a high level, a simple hobby, and a sport that you'd still like to discover?
Other than skate, I teach yoga. I'm a passionate hoop dancer and skier too.
What gives you the motivation and passion to pursue your sport?
My focus is on the "feel-good-factor": When I connect deeply to my flow body, whether that be for a moment or through devotional practice, I allow myself the space to recharge, to heal.
Do you have a sporting achievement that you're particularly proud of?
After many years of figure skating I decided to learn roller dancing - which is a totally different animal!
How have your achievements and challenges made you a better sportsperson?
Achievements and challenges in sport help to develop focus and awareness. Being present in sport develops a more focused mind.
If you had to go for a jog with a famous athlete, who would you choose? And what questions would you ask them?
I like to have conversations with people practicing different disciplines than mine so I can learn their approach and story.
How do you help people stay motivated?
All my students have fun when skating. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable experimenting with transitions, new techniques, and tricks.
What makes you a Superprof in sports?
Understanding students motivation and goal is a must to deliver value during the time they spend with me.
