Our Instructors
Hi Friend, I’m Mary- owner & instructor
I have lived in Paw Paw since 2011 and I had been longing for a yoga space near home. When Eleven Eleven opened in 2023, I felt so fortunate to be a part of bringing yoga to Paw Paw as an instructor. I enthusiastically took over ownership of Eleven Eleven Yoga in 2024.
I strive to continue to grow our yoga community, helping those who, like I had felt in the past, feel uncomfortable in groups of people they don’t know, who are scared to step into a place they don’t know, who are overwhelmed, stressed, or in physical pain; find solace, compassion and their own personal yoga journey.
Each of our instructors have their own wonderfully unique teaching style and talents they bring to the studio. I encourage you to explore our various classes and instructors to find what you need. You can find our class descriptions here.
I earned my yoga teaching certification in 2020 from Yoga Farm Ithaca. Students find my classes mindful, restful, and refreshing. You can catch me leading Rise & Shine, Restorative Candlelight with Essential Oils, private group sessions and various creative special events in studio and around the community.
