Mary’s class is a luxurious journey into self-care, deep body awareness, and surrender.
Doreen L.
I have enjoyed Mary’s calming voice in many sensitive yoga classes ...and also ... the many yoga massages I have had in her home were wonderful for body and soul.
Theresa M.
Mary is a caring, compassionate and highly skilled yoga teacher. She introduced me to restorative yoga over seven years ago and the benefits have improved my physical and emotional health. I highly recommend her classes as they are transformative.
Ellen S.
Mary is by far the BEST restorative yoga teacher I have ever experienced. The one DIS advantage for me is that Mary has moved away from Toronto. I have not been able to find anyone who comes close to the way Mary teaches her classes. She is by far the most knowledgeable, caring, kind and patient yoga teacher. I highly recommend Mary's classes, as she will take you a place of peace and tranquility like no other.

Mary’s transmission of the Wisdom embedded in Restorative Yoga traditions was like soft rain on parched soil. Her passion for and love of exploring the truths of the body’s naturalness is a jewel being offered to this community. I am grateful for her mastery in creating an environment of deep surrender."

Restorative yoga with massage and aroma therapy, the ultimate in relaxation! Mary guides your breathing to relax your mind, to shut out the stressors & focus on an affirmation of guidance and strength. When posed in positions to either relax or strength the muscles Mary comes around with aromas & massage letting you drift deeper into the position. After the session you share conversation and a relaxing tea sending you home relaxed, restored, and ready for a good night’s sleep!
Monique E.
For me, starting something new is really difficult, but with Mary’s expertise and mindful guidance, the process was easy. Mary creates a safe space through her practice that welcomes curiosity and deeply nourishes self-discovery. Mary is a beautiful soul who brings passion, sincerity and presence into each session and for this, I am truly grateful. Melina P

Mary's restorative sessions are awesome! The stretching poses increased my mobility where the pain is eliiminated and the breathing exercises increased my focus and concentration. The Reiki massages are relaxing and the aromatherapy is refreshing. After each session, I feel rested, grounded, and ready to face life again!
