Mary has been a devoted yoga student for over two decades. She began her studies of Hatha yoga at Integral Institute in New York City, initially to find relief from a sports injury. She soon discovered the benefits of yoga to be above and beyond the physical. Mary has since studied with renowned teachers, including Seane Corn, Shiva Rea, Colleen Saidman Yee, and Rodney Yee at numerous studios throughout the U.S., in the many different styles of yoga. It was while practicing prenatal yoga, 19 years ago, that Mary became inspired to teach. She finally took the plunge when Daniele Jarman began offering Vinyasa teacher training at Exhale Yoga in 2009. She is eternally grateful to her mentors and fellow students for providing such a supportive environment in which to fulfill her training.
As a graphic design professional and visual artist, Mary brings a sense of creativity to her practice and encourages her students to do the same. Mary is continually inspired by her fellow teachers, the local - and global - yoga community, and perhaps her greatest teacher of all, her daughter. Mary finds daily inspiration for her practice in motherhood, making art, and sharing the healing aspects of yoga with her students. She has spent over 1000 hours in the field teaching at schools and studios throughout New Jersey and specializes in Children's, Family, Gentle, Baby and Me, and Prenatal Yoga, as well as Art and Yoga for all ages and levels.
With nearly 20 years of experience in graphic arts, Mary’s work has appeared in Better Homes and Gardens, Index Magazine, Time Out New York, Vogue, YOGA + life, and Yoga Journal, and she is the recipient of the Davey Award for Graphic Design.
Mary currently resides in New Jersey, where she spends time making art and practicing yoga with her husband, daughter, and two cats.
Corporate, group, and private yoga classes, as well as special events and yoga retreats available. Please contact Mary for more information.
