Meet Mary Baker – ERYT-500 Yoga Teacher

Mary has been a teacher for most of her adult life – teaching summer camp in college and then becoming a credentialed elementary teacher for many years.  Teaching yoga, however, is truly the best teaching experience she can imagine!  Students come to yoga class wanting to learn, eager to explore, and are happy to be there!!  Mary loves to connect with her students on a personal level, to help them find greater comfort and ease in their bodies, and to guide them on their yogic journey as their practice deepens. 

Mary is an ERYT-500 with over 3,000 teaching hours.  Her teaching style is a blend of hatha & Vinyasa flow with an emphasis on linking breath with movement, proper alignment, and most of all – finding joy in each and every pose.  Mary currently teaches at Black Sheep Yoga, Yoga Six Carlsbad, and multiple 24 Hour Fitness locations.  She is also co-founder of Be Well Yoga Therapy – a local non-profit specializing in Yoga for Cancer Recovery.  Be Well offers weekly classes & private sessions for those living with cancer & their caregivers.

When she’s not teaching or taking yoga, you’ll most likely find Mary in the kitchen baking something tasty to share with friends and family.  She also loves curling up on the couch with her two dogs to read a book and sip a cup of tea, planning ocean kayaking adventures, participating in Crossfit workouts with her son who is a trainer at Carlsbad & Vista Crossfit, and exploring new restaurants, breweries, and wine bars.  It’s all about being balanced!
