Hi, I’m Mary — your Aerial Stretch & Flow instructor.
I came to yoga in 2016, not looking for anything spiritual — just trying to deal with constant headaches. A doctor told me I needed more movement in my life, so I decided to try yoga and committed to practicing every day for 30 days. What happened during that month changed everything. My headaches became rare, my body felt stronger and more open, and I noticed a calmness I hadn’t felt in years. I kept going — and a year later, I enrolled in my first yoga teacher training.
Then I discovered aerial yoga — and it was love at first flight. I still remember the feeling of lightness in my spine after that first class. The hammock gave me a new perspective, literally and emotionally. I love that aerial yoga can gently support beginners in learning new poses or challenge advanced students to go deeper. For me, it also had an unexpected benefit — it helped me overcome motion sickness in the car.
In my classes, I focus on helping you feel good in your body — open, free, and supported. I blend gentle stretch, mindful movement, and playful inversions so you leave class feeling lighter in every way. No matter your experience level, I’ll meet you where you are and help you reconnect with your body with kindness and joy.
I can’t wait to share the magic of the hammock with you!
