Return to Center

You’ve done the work.

You’ve read the books.

Sat on the mat.

Taught the classes.

Said the prayers.

So why—when life presses you—do you still spiral, shrink, or forget?

You don’t need more practice.
You need a system to return to peace and stay there.

Your sacred space of guidance, mindful practice, and heart-centered growth, where miracles become part of your daily life.

A Return to Center is a self-paced spiritual integration bundle for the woman who knows the truth—but hasn’t yet stabilized it as her default.

Begin Your Return

The Unspoken Pattern

You’re centered—until…

Someone misunderstands you

  • A conversation doesn’t go your way

  • Your child says something that hits your core

  • Your boundaries get tested

  • You feel like you're not enough again

In those moments, your nervous system hijacks your peace.
Not because you don’t know better—
But because what you know hasn’t yet become how you live.

This Isn’t About Learning More

You don’t need another concept, journal prompt, or affirmation.

You need stabilization.

You need a way to return to peace
not just during your practice,
but in real life, when things feel hard

This bundle isn’t more information.
It’s a system of remembrance.

So peace becomes something you live from, not chase.

What’s Inside the Bundle

A Return to Center includes 5 core components that work together to help you return, remember, and rebuild inner trust.

    • Direction & Clarity

    • Healthy Relationship Tools

    • Healing Core Beliefs

    • Forgiveness as a Process with customized Soul Lessons

    • Inner Family Restructuring

    • Decision-Making from a Win-Win Vantage Point

    • Vision Tools for daily integration

  • Video activations based on the 10 Qualities of God’s Teachers (A Course in Miracles)
    Guides you to practice spiritual truth in real-time

    not just in theory.

  • Daily, devotional Course reflections to gently rewire your perception and stabilize your peace over time.

  • Short, potent embodiment practices based on the core ingredients of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga

    • Practice Manual

    • Support when the noise gets loud and you’re unsure how to apply what you know.

    • Optional ongoing integration support.

    • Come for inspiration, activation and troubleshooting real life opportunities.

This Is For You If…

  • You crave clarity without collapsing into control

  • You’ve outgrown surface spirituality and want to embody truth under pressure

  • You feel like you should know better—but still react, spiral, or freeze

  • You want to stabilize peace—not just experience it in fleeting moments

  • You’re ready to stop seeking and start trusting your original intelligence

What Makes This Different?

Most spiritual programs teach you how to reach for peace.
This one teaches you how to return to it.

I’m not here to give you something new.
I’m here to guide you back to what you’ve always known,

but haven’t trusted.

This is not mindset.
Not performance.
Not “doing spirituality right.”

This is about living from the lens that only love is real,

and stabilizing your life around that knowing.

Meet Your Instructor

Marie Russel

Spiritual Integration Mentor | It’s Yoga® On & Off the Mat Certified Coach | 20+ Years Embodied Practice

For over two decades, I’ve lived, taught, and translated the truth that you don’t need to earn peace—you just need to return to it.

Rooted in the teachings of the It’s Yoga System of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, A Course in Miracles, and real-life initiation, my work isn’t here to inspire. It’s here to reorient.

If you’ve been circling the truth,
let this be your return.

Stories of Transformation

  • Randee Schwartz, Santa Cruz California

    “It’s been such a privilege to study and work with Marie Russel. I so deeply respect her commitment exploring our lives off the yoga mat. Honestly, I cannot think of another person who so fearlessly explores our “off the mat existence”. She’s clever, clairvoyant and intimate. 

    You might just look at yourself differently – and like what you see.”

  • Gerli, Norway

    I have been struggling with unnecessary drama in my relationship. Mostly in my own mind. I have been looking for alert-signs from the places and situations where there are none, I fear loosing love and not being loved anymore and a times makes me feel crazy.

    In past 4 days I have been 2 times in a situation that I have fell from love to fear. Both times i did the “Tolerance” meditation. And the change was huge! Both times meditation woke me up from a nightmare before inviting others in. Take away from this meditation is that the love is already in me…

  • Mary Fox, San Francisco California

    “Marie was my first yoga teacher and certified me to instruct more than a decade ago. But we had had very little contact since Larry Schultz passed on in 2011. For some reason, though, I felt called to sign up for Yoga Off the Mat in January, 2020. Little did I know what a life-changer and life-saver it would be for me in the coming months of global madness. Now, 8 months later, I consider Marie to be my life coach. As a coach, Marie is a compassionate and grounding force who has been there for me without hesitation, offering the perfect balance between 3-D reality and a cosmic, divine perspective of Reality – Love. She really has taught me to be willing to see things differently – which has made a profound difference in my life. And for that, I’m forever grateful.”
