Mary has been a certified yoga instructor for six years. She has participated in a variety of workshops including Baptiste Level 1 and Jimmy Barkan Level 2/3. The readings and teachings of Pema Chodron have been an inspiration.
“We cannot be present and run our storyline at the same time.”
~Pema Chodron
The simplicity of yoga - be present, let go, and listen intently to your body’s messages. Yoga has opened doors that I had never dreamed imaginable. As a student, I arrive at my mat without expectation ready to experience and savor my practice. Please don’t misunderstand me, I arrive that way. The feelings that arise during each asana can flip my world upside–down. Pure joy of yoga- releasing control, trusting myself, and truly living in the moment. As a teacher, I have the honor of being an invited guest to each class encouraging movement and healing breath, growth and transformation. We all practice as a community. We learn from each other. “We laugh, smile, go in, fall out and accept our paths as they slowly unfold. It’s all good.”
Mary is currently working towards her Master’s degree in special education. She works as a literature teacher at Learning Prep School in Newton. Mary resides in Watertown with her wonderful family and brindled pal, Charley Brown.
