Mary studied Shambhava Yoga and Meditation at Colorado’s Shoshoni Yoga Ashram, and is certified in Hatha Yoga as well as pre- and postnatal yoga. She has been teaching Hatha, Vinyasa Flow and Therapeutic Yoga classes since 2005. Mary was inspired to become a yoga teacher because of the positive impact yoga had on her own life. This nourishing practice has become essential to Mary as a way to heal her own body from years of competitive gymnastics, and to encourage self-compassion and acceptance.

Mary’s background in Exercise Physiology informs her practice with a deep understanding of anatomy and therapeutic lifestyle medicine. She believes in the power of mindfulness-based meditation as a practice to build our mental and emotional awareness, cultivate compassion for ourselves and others and calm the overwhelmed mind in our world of constant stimulation and stress.

 Mary is also a NBC-HWC Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. She helps people manage chronic pain at Hinge Health and is the founder of Guiding Path Health Coaching. For more information, go to www.guidingpathhealthcoaching.com.
