Last teacher feature of 2025! Meet Mary. Fun facts 👇
1. When I was 20 I had never heard of yoga, but I agreed to join a daily 2-hour yoga practice because my dance teacher invited me, and I was infatuated with her. I had no idea what I was getting into…
2. I got my MFA in modern dance in 1985, and had a 25+ year career performing, teaching, and choreographing. Key takeaways: how energy moves through a body, how to use yoga to heal injuries, dance as a spiritual practice.
3. My friend Roz and I had a long-running storytelling partnership called RippleTales. We incorporated music, dance and audience participation into each story. In rehearsal we mopped the floor with our laughter.
4. When I first met my teacher Panditji, I was immediately smitten. I knew it was a good fit because he was bursting with joy. I want what he’s having!
5. Our goofy dog Asa (means healer) has long legs, long body, long tail, long tongue, is master of the chin chew, and is a spirited bounder on trail and bed alike. When you hear him running up the stairs for the bedroom in the morning, you’d better cover your face!
