Mariana opened San Francisco Yoga Club in Fano, Italy, in 2010. Her goal was to create an ideal place for the practicing and teaching Ashtanga Yoga. Upon Mariana's return to the USA, Giulia Ariotti took over the studio and its mission. At San Francisco Yoga Club, a healthy environment is the top priority. The studio was created using eco-friendly and sustainable products. The yoga mats are SGS Institute tested against toxic elements and are free of heavy metals, AZO dyes, and DOP acid plasticizers. Each mat is sanitized after it is used. San Francisco Yoga Club remains committed to protecting and preserving our environment and promoting awareness of these issues.
