Meet Mary (and Slew!)

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Mary has a strong appreciation for the natural beauty of Northern California and the opportunities that its climate and resources provide for residents seeking active and purpose-infused lifestyles. As a yoga teacher, education program director, and artist, she enjoys working with people of all ages and backgrounds, facilitating and encouraging each person’s capacity to identify and pursue his or her unique interests and sources of joy.

Mary was initially introduced to yoga by her first grade teacher, Ms Cassidy, who, to the tune of “Hey Jude”, used vinyasas and meditation chants to refocus jittery first grade students returning from rowdy recess games. From practicing with her grandmother in Hawaii to leading sequences for siblings and nieces in Monterey, yoga is an integral part of her life, marrying health, community, and personal reflection in an essential harmony.
