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 certified Professional Health and Wellness Coach and founder of Guiding Path Health Coaching. You can learn more about Mary's practice at www.guidingpathhealthcoaching.com.
