The Other Yogi

Marsha D. Banks-Harold is a certified yoga therapist, educator, author, and founder of PIES Fitness Yoga Studio.

With a professional background in electrical engineering and executive leadership, Marsha brings a unique perspective to the practice and teaching of yoga.

She is the creator of My Body Don’t Bend That Way Yoga, an approach that challenges conventional expectations about flexibility, physical ability, and who belongs in a yoga space.

Her work emphasizes accessibility, representation, trauma-sensitive practices, and the importance of creating environments where individuals can participate as their authentic selves.

Marsha believes that making yoga available to everyone is only the beginning. True transformation happens when people feel they genuinely belong.
