How it all began…

I was not always a yogi

I did not come from an athletic background and I was so uncomfortable in any group fitness setting, just the thought of participating intimidated and terrified me.

Desperately insecure in my own skin, I shied away from movement

For years, I struggled with off and on bouts of depression, insecure in my own skin, disconnected from myself, others and life in general.

Then, yoga found me

My first was class 90 minutes and heated and was torture! I thought I’d never go back. Nearly two decades later, yoga has held, supported and nurtured me through countless life experiences and left me feeling active, healthy and strong. The exact opposite of how I had once felt.

yoga has been

my best friend,

my biggest teacher

&

my saving grace

-I can’t get enough information on it

-I consider it an honor & a priviledge to share this abundance of earned knowledge with YOU

 

“After countless hours practicing and teaching yoga — I am and will always be a student first.”

Lovely feedback,

from lovely people

 

“Mariam gives her students the freedom to really learn, grow and challenge themselves but also to accept where their body is and celebrate it for what it can do-rather than what it can’t do. Her encouragement helps me to get in touch with my body and listen to it. I always leave one of her classes feeling refreshed, relaxed and challenged-mentally, physically and spiritually. ”

— Sue R.

“I have taken several of Mariam’s classes and truly enjoyed each one. after sitting all day in front of a computer, Mariam’s gentle guidance helped me achieve deep stretching in the areas i needed most. i walked in stressed from the hectic days and walked out completely renewed. If you are looking for that personal attention and expert knowledge, even if you have never taken a yoga class, I highly recommend Mariam to guide you through a calm, and rejuvenating session. You will not be disappointed. ”

— Char J.

“I love how Mariam emphasizes having your own personal experience during a class and not focusing on what others are doing or comparing yourself to others. Being able to ask her questions has been really helpful and knowing that she is watching closely and will correct my body if i am doing something that may hurt me is very reassuring. “
