Born in Australia to an Egyptian mother and German father, Mary is a true global citizen.

Her passion for truth and connection has taken her across the world seeking externally to find what's always been available internally. She was first introduced to yoga at her gym in Sydney when her beloved Body Pump class was cancelled, and replaced with yoga. Having kept it in her peripherals for a long time, she left class immediately transformed.

Upon moving to London in 2006, while working in a frenetic corporate environment, she balanced a heavy work load with weekly yoga classes, as it was imperative in dealing with her increasing anxiety. In 2011 she stepped away from the corporate environment, taking her initial 200 hour teacher training through Barbara Gordon and Monica Farrell of Sunrayoga in Dahab, Egypt; her mother's homeland. The country had an intense pull on her so she relocated there shortly after, teaching her unique style of classes to ex-pats, holidaymakers, Egyptian and Bedouin women, which she describes as an enlightening experience.

Returning to live once more in London in 2014 she went on to complete an 80 hour Pregnancy teacher training with Yogamama Ltd, teaching mainly around South East London independantly as she wasn't interested in the dogma, white washing and elitism she found existed in many yoga studios. Through yoga and mindfulness she found a safe space to reconnect with her body, mind and breath which felt expansive and liberating. It's this balance that has had a huge impact on her general well-being and its ability to help her navigate life's twist and turns that she is keen to share with you, on and off the mat. Her current group classes are a heartfelt fusion of dynamic Vinyasa, pranayama and mindfulness techniques.

She continues to learn and grow on her healing journey. Her recent quest to understand the unconscious mind on a deeper level -after a disturbing start to 2020- has brought her to the exploration of her own subconscious through a deep Lucid dreaming course with Dr. Clare Johnson

As well as diving deep into more quiet, feminine practices and training in Yoga Nidra through Uma Dinsmore Tuli and Laurent Roure

As well as a 30 hour Yin Yoga training through Eva Hamilton

Leila Sadeghee ,a Mentor who started the much needed Yogis Of Color group, has had a huge influence on her practice, teachings and understanding of her own inherent worth. Through a 6 month Immersion in the Sacred Sisterhood Temple that was the Vessel of Worth, Mary has learnt the art of rituals, divination and unlearning to relearn that our Worth was never conditional or dependant on external forces..
