Mary Anne gives clear directions with constant encouragement! I began both Yoga and Jazz Dance classes with her about 6 months ago. A friend of mine mentioned her classes and once I began I was hooked. I’ve tried different yoga classes for years but never liked them. Mary Anne’s Yoga Class works every part of your body. If you mention a move or area of your body that needs work or modification, she’s on it! Every class is structured a bit differently, even though she is teaching all the traditional yoga movements. The hour goes by so fast, I’m always surprised it’s over. It couldn’t be easier to sign up for her Yoga Class on Zoom! Never have to leave the house. Mary Anne is passionate about both YOGA and DANCE!
I love dancing! Mary Anne’s Jazz Dance Class is more than jazz. Beginning with perfect stretching and movement to music, gets you warmed up. She breaks down dance steps, then connects them together to create a dance routine, always to fun music! Next, we work at a ballet bar. Perfect! We finish with a bit of stretching on a mat, then stand for our final bow. Again, Mary Anne’s clear directions and constant encouragement makes you feel healthy and happy! I highly recommend both her Yoga and Dance Classes! Glenna Kimball

I have had the ongoing pleasure of attending Mary Anne’s yoga classes in a zoom environment. I have known Mary Anne for several years. We reconnected when she offered Yoga through zoom. She lives in Maine and I live in New York. So this was a wonderful opportunity to do yoga at home. I have been doing yoga for years in both studio settings and at home. Mary Anne motivates her class to use yoga on their journey to take care of their health, both mentally and physically. Mary Anne is consistent with her willingness to target those areas that the participants want to work on. Often she offers a few options with poses that will continue to be a benefit. She does not rush, explains and always provides an option to modify. Throughout the classes she praises and will gently correct you if you are not doing the pose correctly. Her class is challenging and yet certainly allows you to improvise when needed. Mary Anne creates a friendly, close community in her classes. Also she welcomes suggestions, comments and has a good sense of what her class can accomplish. It has been motivating for me to attend her class. Also her years of dance has enhanced the poses and flow of the movements. You are indeed aware of her creative and physical experience in a studio environment. I find her to be trustworthy to her classes. Also she respects and upholds the philosophy of yoga. She is an asset to the yoga community. The structured of her classes flow and addresses what I am looking for in a yoga session. She absolutely loves and enjoys what she does and it is reflected throughout her classes.
