About Mary Beth:
Mary Beth has been practicing, learning, and teaching Yin Yoga-Meditation for 15 years. One of her favorite mottos “arrive curious, leave Yin-spired.” She experiences her yin and vinyasa yoga-meditation practices, energy work, dancing, and sound meditation practices as Labyrinth - like, devotional pathways that invite us to walk inward together to our shared center still point - the Love-Mystery - in service to one another. For her, Yoga-Meditation is a real love story that we write and rewrite every moment, every practice as we choose to befriend ourselves and each other, and free our mind-body-spirit from conditioning and patterns that keep Rumi’s “field of limitless possibilities” hidden from us.
With gentle encouragement, she invites you to “smile, laugh, cry, stumble and walk along the path with me as we excavate our lives with awe, humor, resilience, gratitude, compassion, and commitment through various mind-body practices. Mary Beth’s students often comment that she genuinely “sees” each person, offers rejuvenating classes, and aspires to create a Yin Yoga Meditation Sangha - a community of Yin - curious and Yin - regulars to Yin-spire each other.
Mary Beth is an E-RYT 200++ Yin, Vinyasa and Restorative yoga, certified Yin Yoga Meditation Teacher through Sagel Urlacher, Reiki II practitioner thru Jean Davis, Sound Healing Artist training with Adrian DiMatteo, and conscious breathing meditation student/mentor for practicing the Art of Zen Breathing with the San Francisco Zen Center. She completed inter-spiritual ministry and Mantra studies with spiritual teacher-author Dr. Stephanie Rutt. Mary Beth is also an inter-spiritual minister and counselor, M.A., Education and Crisis Management; she has worked with individuals and families facing addiction and learning challenges.
True to her Irish roots, she enjoys a great story (The Moth was a favorite radio show) offering hospitality, sharing a deep laugh, dancing, poetry, easeful hikes, a simmering stew and a well brewed cup of tea!
About Jill
Jill began practicing yoga in 2011 when she walked into a Baptiste studio. Being an exercise physiologist and an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, she was drawn to the physical aspect of yoga. Soon, however, she discovered so much more. Jill fell in love with the introspective process that yoga ignites through the mind, body and breath connection. She has relied on yoga through many changes and challenges in her life since that first class. In 2016, she moved abroad with her husband. It was then that she decided to complete a yoga teacher training. In February 2017, Jill traveled to India to develop a greater knowledge of the heritage and philosophy of yoga. She completed her 200-hour training at Himalaya Yoga Valley Centre in Goa, under the direction of Lalit Kumar. She taught yoga in Ireland for one year before moving back to New England in 2018.
Jill has also studied the Yin yoga tradition with Josh Summers in Boston and most recently became Pre/Post Natal certified with PROnatal Fitness. Jill has relied heavily on yoga principles in the transitions of pregnancy, labor and motherhood. She is very passionate about helping other new moms.
All of this experience has inspired her goal of honoring the roots of the practice while bringing in modern alignment principles that consider everyone’s unique anatomy. No one cue fits all!
