I teach online courses with Judith Hanson Lasater and Lizzie Lasater.

Lizzie and I kicked off a new class, Somatic Self-Care, in March 2025. Join us for a monthly infusion of mat nerdery!

Love Your Lower Back

​functional yoga therapy for a resilient lumbopelvic-hip complex.

Here are the top 5 key points of the course:

• The pelvis as the origin of movement: You will learn that the pelvis, not the vertebral column, is the engine of movement. This understanding helps you align your body better and avoid lower back strain.

• The importance of preserving natural curves: You will discover how maintaining the natural curves of your spine prevents unnecessary stress and pain, especially in the lumbar region.

• Balancing stability and mobility: You will understand how to balance stability and mobility in the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, allowing you to move with less pain and more control.

• Functional relationships in the lower back: You will gain insight into the interconnected relationships between your lumbar spine, sacrum, pelvis, and hip joints, learning how movement in one area affects the others.

• The role of emotional and psychological factors in pain: You will explore how emotional stress and psychological factors can contribute to lower back pain, adopting a holistic approach to healing.

Somatic Woman

​embrace and transform your menopause with yoga.

This course is about reclaiming and reinventing your practice for menopause and beyond.

• Let’s be honest, the history of yoga is mostly a practice by men for men. But what happens when we transplant this practice into the maturing female body? In other words, what wisdom can we learn from the female anatomy?

• How can yoga best support a maturing female body? A body that may have been through pregnancy, childbirth, or hysterectomy?

• This course is about sharing yoga practices that support you through the hormonal, physical, and spiritual transition of menopause and beyond.

• Each month, we share active asana practices for energy, mental clarity, body aches, stress incontinence, and bloating.

• We also include Somatic Strength and Restorative Yoga practices. 

Deep Rest

A course dedicated to tried-and-true yoga practices to cultivate sensory awareness and reflection.

The pandemic and its enduring impacts have proved very intense for us all. Join us to learn a somatic approach to addressing the effects and root causes of exhaustion:

• Dive into the neurobiology and physiology of stress to deepen your own understanding and teaching.

• The physical body becomes our guide as we learn to access an inner reservoir of vitality. 

• Restorative yoga is uniquely empowered to create an expansive container for our awareness.

• Pranayama and yoga nidra help us move deeper into our perception to connect to our spiritual, physical and emotional energy.

Somatic Strength

Learn training exercises and the science behind them to serve your movement on and off the mat.

Built around a 5-week plan, the course is entirely self-paced. So you can work at your own pace. Each week includes:

• A complete Somatic Strength training sequence video.

• The training sequence as a printable PDF. You’ll fall in love with Mary’s stick figure drawings;)

• Key concepts, self-assessment and modification videos that you can watch on your own schedule.

• Plus, you’ll have access to our private student forum to ask Mary questions, share your victories, and connect with other students.
