MaryJane, began her yoga journey later in life. Being a mother of two, wife, and pediatric transplant nurse had kept her preoccupied for the better part of a decade, and well into her 30’s. It wasn’t until her late 30’s that she discovered her passion for yoga. After having noticed the natural changes that occur within a woman’s body with aging, she tried running as a form of physical activity, which proved to be taxing on her knees. It was through the suggestion of a friend that she was encouraged to try yoga as an alternate activity.

After trying her first class, she discovered her love for yoga and instantly became addicted to its practice. Originally rooted in Bikram, she learned to appreciate all styles, eventually favoring Vinyasa Flow and Hot Power Fusion Yoga for their physical and mental demands, in addition to their detoxifying properties. In doing so, she devoted and immersed herself into both self and studio practice for the next two years, learning as much about body, breath, and mind integration as possible. Through a consistent yoga practice, she was able to transform her body and mind.

Ultimately, her passion for yoga led her to complete a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program in June 2014, deepening her knowledge of yoga history, philosophy, and practice. She is now dedicated to sharing the benefits, joys, and gifts of yoga with others who may be searching for their own passion.
