About your retreat host

Marybeth has had an interest in yoga since a young age. Her first 200HR training was completed in 2018 and her devotion only grew when she realized there was much more to yoga than just poses. She took another 300HR Training online with MVP during the pandemic increased her desire to learn more about Ayurveda and philosophy. This led her to Shakti Yoga in Woodstock, NY where she studied under Linda Winnick for another 200HR training. She constantly reads, attends seminars and new classes to strengthen her own practice and more importantly enable her to pass that knowledge on to her students. She opened MarybethYogaLLC in 2019 and has been leading classes and retreats ever since.

 Her style can be described hatha yoga with a strong focus on alignment based yoga helped in part by her 30+years in the medical imaging field. This medical knowledge helps strengthen her classes with precise anatomical cues and physiological benefits. Her no nonsense approach to yoga aims to get every person practicing as they are able. All abilities, backgrounds, sizes, genders, and religions are not only welcomed but encouraged to practice with Marybeth. Her philosophy: Yoga is not only for the young and flexible, it is for all people to help bring us closer to peace, harmony and happiness.

When she's not on the mat she enjoys hiking, gardening, kayaking, fitness, a good comedy show, reading, cleaning and spending time with her family and pets. Her passions align with animal rights, keeping the earth clean and healthy for generations to come, promoting inclusiveness and equal rights for all people, and creating a safer environment for our children.
