Mary is a highly qualified and experienced yoga teacher in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.
She specialises in teaching yoga to ‘over 50s’, ‘not so supple’ and seniors in small classes, or in retirement village.
Mary completed her initial teacher training in 2010 and has been practicing yoga for over thirty years. She started to practice yoga to treat a sport injury. Her time spent in therapy classes, as a student makes her a better teacher as she understands preexisting health conditions.
Mary modifies the poses to suit the individual on the day and offers yoga on the mat, using a chair or a combination.
She believes regular yoga practice gives us the optimum health and makes her classes accessible to students with all levels of experience.
Mary’s teaching style:
- Combining stretching with strengthening she aims to stimulate her students in a safe environment. There is a strong focus on standing poses to improve balance and strengthening the legs.
- Using props to make the poses accessible to all (bricks, strap, blanket, chair or wall space for better balance if needed).
- There is variety of poses in each session and there is variety from class to class to keep everybody stimulated.
- Compared to younger cohort, the warmup takes a bit longer.
