About Peaceful Yoga
Who We Are
At Peaceful Yoga, we believe yoga is more than movement—it’s a return to yourself
Rooted in the timeless teachings of yoga, our approach supports balance across body, mind, and spirit. Each class is guided with care and intention, offering space to slow down, reconnect, and move in a way that feels supportive and sustainable.
Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or deepening an established practice, our instructors meet you where you are. With thoughtful guidance and a compassionate presence, they create an environment where growth feels natural and accessible.
Peaceful Yoga is more than a studio—it’s a community. A place where you are welcomed as you are, supported in your journey, and invited to explore what it means to feel grounded, connected, and at ease.
Our story
Peaceful Yoga was founded in Malverne, New York in 2021 by Marianne Bochilo who leads a welcoming, community-centered space for yoga, meditation, and mindful living. A dedicated practitioner for over two decades, Marianne’s journey began as a student in the very studio she now owns (formerly known as Yoga & Polarity Center)—later returning as a teacher before purchasing and reimagining the space in 2021.
Our Mission
Peaceful Yoga creates a welcoming sanctuary in the heart of Malverne where individuals of all backgrounds can experience tranquility and holistic well-being through the practices of yoga and mindfulness.
Our Vision
We envision a world where inner peace and holistic well-being are accessible to all. Through mindfulness, inclusivity, and personal growth, we strive to inspire a balanced, connected, and compassionate living within our community and beyond.

Our Name
Inner Peace, Mindfulness, and Well-Being

It’s a space designed to feel grounded and welcoming, where the practices of movement, breath, and mindfulness come together. Here, students are supported in cultivating inner peace, deepening awareness, and creating a greater sense of well-being—both on and off the mat.
