Mary discovered yoga, while searching for a ‘good stretch’ to improve running times. She is grateful to have stretched the mind and soul along with the body. An avid hiker, runner and backpacker, she feels alive in the outdoors. Enjoys camping, kayaking and admits her all time favorite place is inside a tent. She is active in an Outdoors Ministry which is designed to encourage and make available opportunities for people to spend time outdoors together, with the intention of allowing nature to affect them in positive ways and create healthy living habits. Mary truly believes in the concept to keep moving and it’s benefits. Movement is essential to obtain and maintain health.

She completed her 500 hour certification at Johns Creek Yoga under the guidance of Sheila McVay Ewers. She holds a Georgia Master Naturalist certification as well as the Southern Appalachian Naturalist Certification (SANCP).

Mary hopes to inspire joy and healthy living through movement.
