An Arizona native, Mary has been in the health and wellness field for the past decade. She started her career as a massage therapist with a specialty in deep tissue and sports massage and has worked with numerous professional athletes. She received her Bachelor's degree from ASU in Public Health and Community Development from the Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies Program. Her yoga journey began strictly for the physical benefits but the mental and emotional transformation was undeniable and yoga's message of self-acceptance and loving your body was exactly what she wanted to spread to her community. She enjoys teaching upbeat, positive classes that spread the message of love and caring for your body in a healthy, nurturing way.
