Mary Elko Comfort, RYT
Yoga Instructor

Yogafit Trainer

Mary discovered yoga in 1994 originally as a way to spend time with her mother (in their overly busy lives)…little did she know she would so embrace the practice but it would also be a source of support and calm for her during her mother's terminal illness. From that experience, Mary strives to emphasize to her students that by allowing the unison of breath and body to happen, we give ourselves a place to center, balance and "just be" both on and off the mat.

Mary's style is an eclectic blend of her yoga background which includes Sivananda, YogaFit, Viniyoga, Anusara, Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga. She regularly attends workshops and trainings around the country and has YogaFit level I, II, III as well as Senior YogaFit certifications. Mary also holds both AFAA group instructor and Spinning (cycling) and ACE certifications.  Mary is currently a Yogafit Trainer (all levels and specialties). She graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Communications and is very active with the Winchester Thurston School alum board. When time allows, her other passions include being a novice wine connoisseur/collector and reading. Of all her accomplishments so far, Mary and her husband are most proud of their two children, one beautiful young dancer and one karate kid who melts into the most awesome triangle pose.
