Mary Beth Harding

My asana (movement) teaching is rooted in safety, curiosity, and exploration. It incorporates a variety of shapes and movements that are widely accessible to many bodies. We also practice mediation, pranayama (breathwork), and other limbs of yoga throughout class. Many of my physical practices focus on improved mobility and creating comfort in the body. I believe without this foundation of physical ease it is difficult to practice other aspects of yoga such as being a kinder person to yourself and the world around you. Yoga is all about connection - connecting your mind, body, and spirit, connecting to your community, connecting to the universe. I weave yogic and Daoist philosophy throughout class to encourage us to not only care for ourselves, but to take action and care for others. Honoring the traditions and lineages of these practices is a priority in my teaching. The styles of yoga I teach are especially important for professional athletes who need supportive recovery. Work with me to discover how strengthening the mind-body connection can improve your life and your performance.
