Maryanne

Maryanne began her yoga teacher training in 2015 with a focus on Vinyasa Flow at Power Living and later expanded her expertise by completing a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training at The Yoga Institute in 2019. Along the way, she has deepened her practice through additional training in Yin Yoga, Meditation, Five Element Theory, Advanced Vinyasa, and more.

With a background in group fitness and martial arts, Maryanne brings a dynamic and well-rounded approach to her teaching. Heated Vinyasa Flow remains her personal favorite practice, allowing her to explore the intricate connection between mind and body and how it contributes to overall health and well-being. As a dedicated student of Yoga Philosophy, she integrates these timeless teachings into modern life, helping students cultivate balance, resilience, and self-awareness.

As part of the Bend It Like Buddha Yoga faculty, Maryanne will be teaching the History of Yoga in the Yoga Teacher Training and Diploma Program, offering students a deeper understanding of yoga’s roots, evolution, and philosophical foundations. Her passion for yoga history and philosophy brings richness and depth to the training, helping future teachers connect tradition with contemporary practice.

Maryanne’s classes offer a blend of strength, mindfulness, and fluid movement, creating a space for students to challenge themselves while fostering inner peace. She believes that yoga is not just a physical practice but a pathway to deeper self-discovery and holistic wellness.

Her favorite quote, “Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, and faithfulness the best relationship” – Buddha, reflects her belief in yoga as a tool for cultivating a fulfilling and meaningful life.
