Mary Birnbaum
Teacher - Gentle Yoga
Mary B began practicing yoga at age 45 to address the problem of aching hips. Yoga worked so well that she went from one class a week to several classes a week, and became certified as an instructor in 1999. Now in her 60s, Mary practices vigorously five days a week, and teaches our Gentle Yoga class. She is especially sensitive to the problems of aging bodies, the frustrations of injuries, and the limitations of non-dancer body types. Her emphasis is the balance of self-compassion and self-challenge, livened with gentle humor and fun.
