Marina Fabel is a Mississippi native with a degree in Marketing and a minor in Russian from Mississippi State University. After moving to Boston and quickly finding a full-time serving position, Marina built a successful career in the service industry, taking on various roles, including management positions at multiple restaurants. The skills she developed—anticipating needs, multitasking, and fostering a welcoming atmosphere—are directly applicable to her role as the Back Bay Studio Manager at Down Under Yoga.

Marina's yoga journey began with her mother, a yoga teacher of 15 years, and evolved further during the pandemic when she found connection and growth through Yoga With Adriene. After initially joining Down Under Yoga as a student, she worked her way up from Community Connector to Assistant Studio Manager and ultimately Studio Manager, where she channels her passion for yoga and community into creating a space where others can thrive.

In her current role, Marina is able to truly be herself while engaging in meaningful conversations with students, teachers, and staff. She finds joy in being part of a community that strives to improve the lives of others—whether by healing an injury, expanding a spiritual journey, bringing people together, or simply brightening someone’s day. In her free time, Marina enjoys practicing yoga, spending time with family and friends, playing guitar, and reading.
