Yoga fell into Mary’s (she/her) sphere when she was living in Northern California. The practice found her during a time that she needed it most (thanks to a friend inviting her to a class), and after continuing to show up over and over again, it reminded her of her own strength and capability to change her life. She felt the potent healing that this sacred practice offers first hand, and she knew that one day she’d share it with others.

In 2021, she received her 200-hour certification and began teaching publicly, but soon realized there was SO MUCH MORE to learn! She completed a restorative yoga training in 2022, and finished her 300-hour certification in 2024. In 2025, Mary was fortunate enough to be asked by Anna to help co-lead The Moving Galaxy’s 200-hour teacher training (it was a resounding “yes”)! Teaching has been Mary’s full-time “work” since around 2023, and she couldn’t imagine her life any other way. 

Mary creates classes that are accessible to all levels by breaking down complex shapes in simple ways, teaching to yoga props, and offering options. She pours her heart into deepening her understanding of not just asana (postures), but also, yogic philosophy and mantra. Mary aims to create a grounded, open, and mindful state, so that students can enter into the deeper layers of the Self, exploring, uncovering, learning, unlearning, and integrating. 

May this practice lead us toward peace, acceptance and awakening. 

Hari OM.
