We are SO HAPPY to let you know that our beloved teacher and mentor Mary Jarvis is coming to Be Yoga Andersonville June 27-30! It's going to be HIGH VIBRATIONS, and we are planning for green juices if you want them. Mary will be teaching a bikram yoga class followed by an afternoon of Yoga Shapeshifting each day. EVERYBODY is wanted and welcome. The last time was just the BEST TIME. I hope you can join us.

Who is Mary Jarvis?

Mary has been practicing hot yoga for 35 years. She has a wealth of knowledge and is not to be missed! She has served as a mentor to countless teachers over the years and has coached many yoga champions. She is twice named “Who’s Who in Bikram Yoga” by Yoga Journal Magazine as one of the top three Bikram teachers in the world! She is the leading expert on the use of yoga therapy for injury and healing. You will gain a refreshing perspective on this yoga practice – and you will shape shift!

Mary's bikram yoga class usually lasts two hours or a bit more because she spends extra time sharing valuable insights or connecting personally with students. Her class is truly special and her knowledge comes from 35 years of teaching and practicing this yoga. If you have to leave early for any of her classes, that's ok! Just do so quietly and keep time for yourself if possible.

One of the reasons Mary is such a special human being and teacher is because she is living proof that a consistent hatha yoga practice with intention carries remarkable healing powers. Mary suffered serious neck and other spinal injuries in a car accident. She brought herself out of pain by practicing bikram yoga twice daily for 2 years and adding what we now call her "Shapeshifting" homework.

What is Shapeshifting?

These are energy-shifting and healing exercises that Mary created to bring herself out of pain. By accident, they happened to be wonderful for yoga conditioning and can be done anywhere by anyone!

Mary often says, "All you need to do yoga is a spine!"

We always have the BEST TIME. We just laugh all day and do yoga all day and life is just so good in the hot room together. Mary often tells stories and we also begin our great work of being more kind, more compassionate, more loving, while our spines are changing.

We hope you will join us June 27-30.

We are so humbled and delighted that Mary Jarvis will be coming to our school for a shapeshifting week next week from May 3 - May 7.

There are some teachers I have had who have truly shifted the way I see and understand yoga, and for me, Mary is one of those teachers.

She is warm and compassionate and has lived through the yoga. There are a number of things that make her a special teacher from her humor, to her decades of experience teaching yoga, but what stands out to me is that yoga has changed her life over and over again. Those are her stories to tell.

I hope you can join us. She teaches ALL bodies. Knowing how to do fancy yoga postures is not a necessity. Here are some pictures from the last Shapeshifting week I attended with her. They are FUN, FUN, FUN!! There is a lot of laughter to go around.

Come for part or all of the days, and feel free to email me if you have any questions:

Tuesday, May 3 - Friday, May 6: 8am shapeshift/9:30am class/11:30am shapeshift/4:30 class

Saturday May 7: 10am-12pm extended class 12-3:30pm yoga play

Full week pass $440 ($88/day)

Day pass $97

Class only $25
