Mary has created a warm sense of community while keeping yoga fun

I started practicing yoga with Mary in 2009.  She is an exceptionally talented instructor and true guide on my yoga journey.  She has created a warm sense of community while keeping yoga fun.

Mary is a natural teacher and compassionate mentor.  She gives very clear verbal directions to make transitions and to get into the correct positions.  She also demonstrates poses that are very easy to follow.  Mary is able to teach students of varying abilities in the same class. She is respectful of students with limitations and aware of those who need to be pushed harder. She is excellent at providing modifications and reminders to rest if you need it.  On the flip side, Mary will almost always give instruction on ways to kick it up and occasionally inserts new challenging poses.

In addition to the physical aspects, I enjoy the meditations and interesting knowledge Mary shares regarding yoga.  I like that she says the Sanskrit and common names of poses so you learn them by both.  I have learned so much from Mary and because of her yoga has had a very positive impact on my life.  I highly recommend taking one of Mary’s yoga classes.

Namaste
