Discovering Yoga while dancing at American Dance Festival in 1998, Mary became a dedicated practitioner completing her 200RYT through Yoga Source in Richmond, Virginia in 2006. The training was based on Ashtanga and Iyengar  principles. 

Teaching Ashtanga and bridging into Vinyasa since that time, ongoing training with several Ashtanga masters has included: Tim Miller, Tias Little, Richard Freeman, Eddie Stern, and Kino MacGregor.  Mary has studied with Petri Raisanen in Goa, India and completed David Swenson’s Intensive Teacher Training.   Vinyasa began in 2007/8 with Shiva Rhea, Sean Corn, Ana Forrest, San Francisco; Sri Dharma Mittra, David Life and Shannon Gannon, Jivamukti, NYC, and continues today.  Mary completed her 500RYT in June 2019 in Flow Yoga with Simon Parks and Noelle Connolly, Chamonix, France.  Passionate about learning and sharing the practice of yoga, Mary is happy to be with NOW Yoga.
