Mary Payton

You will find Mary’s class to be very nurturing yet challenging, with a combination of precise alignment instruction and a joyful flow of grace through breath and mindful movement, emphasizing your inner awareness of how the pose feels and connecting with that for guidance of how deep to take your body, also recognizing when you can go a bit further and guiding you safely to places you’ve never been before. She is very intuitive with her adjustments and has a healing touch to her hands. She also incorporates yoga philosophy and life lessons into her class. Mary’s class will open and strengthen your body, freeing blockages and leave you with a great sense of peace.
