Mary Deroo

Instructor

I am grateful to say I have been a Registered Yoga Teacher for over 22 years. Combining my medical background, RN work experience, certifications and experience in group exercise and personal training, I set my foundations to teach Yoga. I am committed to help people live their best lives physically, and mentally. Yoga cultivates a strong sense of strength, flexibility, and serenity for all ages. I enjoy teaching many styles of Yoga, that include Ashtanga/Vinyasa, Yoga for a Healthy Spine, Yin, Yin Yang, and Progressive Relaxation. Adjustments and variations are given in class tailored to find the best shape/posture for the new student, or experienced athlete. Drawing from my personal experiences with back issues, I focused on Yoga for a Healthy Spine to help people of all shapes and sizes create a stronger, more flexible core. Continuing my education in Yoga and health is a top priority. I enjoy sharing what I have learned at Yoga conferences and seminars to help my students live their best lives. I currently study with a neuro muscular therapist, and spine specialist. Let me guide you to live your strongest, healthiest life. You deserve it!
