Maribel Rincón began her yoga journey in 1986 under Swami Vishnu Devananda — one of the true pioneers of yoga teacher training in the West — and has not stopped since. Over 35 years of unbroken practice and teaching have brought her into direct study with some of yoga's most significant lineage holders: Satyananda, Satchidananda, and Pattabhi Jois. She is a Yoga Acharya — a title that signals not just certification but a depth of transmission that takes decades to earn — and the director of the Yoga for Life Institute in Marbella, where she leads teacher trainings, retreats, Qigong, Tai Chi, and Sophrology.
“Yoga is a way of life, a way of health, happiness and peace. For everyone and any age.”
— Maribel Rincón

“Thank you so much Maribel for the Yoga Teacher Training Course, it changed me from the inside out. I had been in many all over the world, but honestly this was the best I ever taken, one of the best experiences of my life. From the very first day the atmosphere felt different — warm, open and deeply human. What made this training truly special was the way Maribel guided us. By the end of the training I didn't only become a better yoga teacher, I became a stronger, more grounded and more conscious person. The villa is just amazing, in the centre and a few minutes' walk to the beach.”

“This Yoga Center is a true gem located in the heart of Marbella. The real treasure here is the immense wisdom you gain from Maribel, the founder and director of the center. Her passion for yoga, its principles, and timeless wisdom shines through in every class. She shares her knowledge selflessly with open-hearted sincerity, creating a space where seekers can truly grow and find clarity. I'm deeply grateful for my time here and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a transformative retreat or training.”
