This October, join Marisa Smith at Cloudbreak Yoga for a special workshop exploring the connection between yoga, meditation, and tarot!
Unlock the Synergy of Yoga & Tarot!
Step onto the mat and into the cards. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, join us for an inspiring session of mindful connection, guided meditation, and hands-on partner tarot readings.
Tarot can be used as a tool for reflection, intuition, and self-inquiry. Rather than focusing on prediction, the cards can offer another way to pause, notice what is present, and explore questions or themes in your life with curiosity. No previous experience with tarot is needed.
What You’ll Experience:
Connect: Explore the deep connection between yoga philosophy and tarot.
Ground: Relax into a peaceful, centered guided meditation.
Practice: Pair up for short, intuitive tarot readings in a supportive setting.
With over 30 years of experience with tarot, and a longtime yoga practice, Marisa brings intuitive exploration in a way that feels accessible and grounded. She is also a familiar part of the Metta community for several years! Scroll down to read more about Marisa and her background.
All experience levels welcome. Bring your curiosity and an open heart! Also feel free to bring your cards to share with the group.
Cost: $44 (10% off for Metta Yoga members applies automatically at checkout)

About Marisa
Marisa Laurel Smith’s 30-year journey with intuitive divination began as a teenager, when she inherited her mother’s historical Tarot de Marseille deck and Waite’s Pictorial Key to the Tarot. This profound connection to the oldest known tarot system sparked a lifelong devotion to the cards, which coincided with a Bachelor’s degree in Art History from UC Santa Barbara in 2001. This academic foundation allowed Marisa to decode the cards through the lens of ancient art, religious iconography, and sacred symbols, transforming her readings into rich, multidimensional portals for soul inquiry.
Marisa expanded her spiritual path onto the mat in 2008, committing to a traditional, deeply spiritual Ashtanga practice at the Yoga Shala in Santa Barbara under teachers directly trained by founder K. Pattabhi Jois. To further refine her teaching artistry and somatic understanding, she completed an intensive 200-hour Cloudbreak Yoga Immersion teacher training in 2022, studying under masterful educators John Berlinsky, Erika van Gemeren, Hy Long, Mirabai and others.
By seamlessly bridging academic art history, decades of intuitive tarot study, and a lineage-based yoga practice, Marisa designs spaces for all of the senses, where the physical body acts as a grounded vessel to receive ancient wisdom. In this workshop, you will use mindful movement and meditation to open the channels of intuition, allowing the rich symbolism of the Tarot deck to speak clearly to your inner self.
You may recognize Marisa from her decade-long commitment to the Marin yoga community, where she provides administrative support both at the desk and behind the scenes for Metta Yoga’s marketing and sales team.
