Guest Profile

Marni Pogachefsky

I am an international personal and spiritual development guide, speaker, yoga teacher, retreat leader, and mindfulness coach, who has dedicated my life to traveling the world helping people to get more in touch with themselves through mindfulness, self empowerment, and cultural immersion and exchange.

I have studied mindfulness and ancient wisdom traditions with masters and teachers around the world (from South America, Israel, South East Asia, Africa, and Europe, to the US), and have had the privilege of teaching mindfulness and self discovery to students and adults around the world.

I studied human and organizational development and corporate strategy at Vanderbilt University, and from there went into the consulting world, as a Management Consultant with Accenture Interactive, where my client-facing roles focused on end-to-end marketing/ marketing operations lifecycle across eight industries.

Working with, getting to know, and supporting people has always been my passion, along with experiencing new cultures and developing diverse communities around the globe. To this end, I have lived in 6 countries and traveled to over 60 others. In 2013, I followed my passion to volunteer and travel around the world for year. Then in 2016, I left Accenture on a leave of Absence to travel the world again studying with different teachers of ancient wisdom traditions, such as yoga and shamanism. I have been in personal practice ever since.
