Mary has been teaching yoga in Cheltenham since 2013. Mary began practicing yoga in 2001. After moving to England from the US, Mary completed a 500 hour yoga teaching diploma with the British Wheel of Yoga. She continues to enhance her knowledge by regularly attending trainings and intensives. In addition to her main training, Mary holds certificates to teach restorative yoga, yin yoga, pregnancy yoga and well woman yoga.
Mary’s classes are welcoming and lighthearted. They are built around creating classes that are well rounded, mixing challenge with gentle aspects. Pranayama (breath control practices) and continued awareness of breath are a key components. Mary weaves aspects of subtle body and yoga philosophy into her classes.
Mary has created a serene boutique yoga studio to provide the benefits of yoga to the Charlton Kings community.
Description
This class is an invitation to slow down, ease your body, use your breath in a therapeutic way and calm your nervous system. Starting slowly with mindful breathing. Moving through your body to warm, release, stretch and free your joints. The practice progresses to a slow flow visiting key postures and sequences that are more gentle. We spend most of the time reclined, seated, prone and on hands and knees. This class is designed to ease the tight and tense spots in your body. We move slowly and softly. This practice is a good partner to more dynamic exercise. Suitable for beginners and anyone looking to deeply connect to their body through a softer practice. We end in a luxurious relaxation.
