Mark 

Teacher

His endless childlike curiosity and attraction to where he finds Spirit eventually brought him to his first yoga session in 2015. At first he simply appreciated the physicality and mental relaxation of the practice, but after a couple months of consistency, he began to notice something magical. Mark experienced powerful shifts in his behavior towards himself and others; he noticed an increase in productivity and boosted confidence; he felt heightened sense of well-being and purpose. From this rapid and humbling period of growth, he quickly identified yoga as a deeply spiritual path. From that point, Mark sought out (and continues to seek) as much yogic history and philosophy as possible.The thing he enjoys most about the practice is: there’s infinite ways to practice! From meditation, chanting, and breathwork to acts of service, ethical behavior, and self-care, Mark see’s nearly all aspects of life as an opportunity to practice yoga. He strives to share this empowerment wherever he goes, both on and off the mat. He believes the most transformative experiences of yoga can happen at anytime–all you have to do is practice!

Maggie 

Teacher

Maggie graduated from Session School of Yoga in March of 2019. Her passion for teaching and the practice shows in every class! She started practicing yoga  in 2015 truly just out of curiosity and never imagined how much of an impact it would be after all this years. She fell in love with yoga for its constant movement while calming the mind.  For her is is like pausing time  and connecting  to recharge and fall in deeply into a spiral of movements and moments of stillness with the help of mindfully breathing. She believes that yoga finds you on the most difficult times and challenging moments and that’s where you most need to ground yourself and listen to body and mind. This studio has become part of her personal growth, by letting her be herself in my most vulnerable and happiest moments and nothing can be compared to that feeling of being safe in space.

Malie was first drawn to yoga, as most people are, for the physical asana practice. Within a few months of developing a regular practice, she quickly fell in love with the way that yoga calms and connects the mind to body, through breath and movement, and how the lessons we learn in our asana practice are so easily transferable to the time spent off our mats. Connecting breath and intentional movement through yoga, hiking or dancing are part of everyday life for Malie. Some of her favorite things include spending time with nature, with friends and family, with animals of all kinds, and studying different limbs of yoga. She lives  life with a heart full of love and believes in the power of surrendering to the ebb and flow of lifeand breath to lead you wherever you are meant to be.
