Your Instructor

Maire’s yoga journey began years ago, as she sought to connect with and discover her true self. Once she sat on a cushion and stood on a mat, she knew this was where she was meant to be. Her asana practice evolved over the years, shifting from high-energy flows to mindful awareness.

Sharing her knowledge and love for yoga led Maire to complete several teacher trainings. She is an E-RYT 500, a certified Barre teacher for over 10 years, and the author of a 200-hour Hatha YTT and Yoga for Athletes course. Barre has greatly enhanced her teaching experience by refining her understanding of alignment, strength, and precision. This fusion of yoga and barre allows her to create unique, accessible, and dynamic practices for her students. She is excited to share her expertise and inspire others to discover the benefits of integrating these modalities.

Her students and fellow teachers appreciate the creativity and accessibility she brings to her teaching.

Maire’s passion for adaptability and accessibility shines through in her role as Trainer Coordinator for My Vinyasa Practice and as the author of three training courses. Her dedication to empowering students and teachers alike is at the heart of her work, and she’s eager to continue sharing her journey and knowledge with others.
