Maria Frisch

Hi, I'm Maria

I'm a Danish founder, movement educator, and mom of three. I founded Rooted Movement, where I guide the vision, program direction, and student experience alongside lead Pilates instructor Candice.

I also co-founded The Peaceful Warriors Yoga School. More than ten years in movement education and teacher training have taught me that the strongest businesses grow from clear values, good people, and close attention to the experience you create.

My life still moves between Denmark and Bali, family and work, structure and adventure. I share the honest lessons from building along the way, and offer a thoughtful sounding board for people creating something of their own.
