Mary Elko Comfort

In a word, Mary is incredible. In her classes, Mary often says that we want to "just see what our bodies can do today"; that with patience, awareness, acceptance, and joy, we want to bring ourselves "to the edge"... and stay there a while. :) It is with her effective cueing; energizing, inspiring, and hands-on instructing style; commitment to safety; and emphasis on individual ability that I have been able to (safely) visit that edge often... and have been able to develop the focus, discipline, and spirit to spend more time there than I would have otherwise thought possible (or desirable!).

Mary creates an atmosphere with music, soft lighting and challenging postures; a class time in which mind, body and spirit work together.
Mary's 7:30 class was one of the most powerful yoga classes I can remember; the energy in the room, the music (very Kundalini), the way she explained the poses. It was like being in another plane.

As a women, you are strong and beautiful…as an example to follow, you are precise and accurate…as a teacher, you are forever learning while inspiring us all to evolve further on our own paths to lightness within. Thank you for your gifts to me, and I look forward to the many more to come.

You combine precision cueing with a sense of play that just won't quit. I can't tell you now many poses I did not "get" until you broke them down for me and helped me coax my body into them. And when I just can't "get" them, you can make me laugh at myself, you, and the universe in general. You make me sweat, and you make me laugh; I look forward to Wednesday nights all week long, and I get really grouchy if for some reason I can't go to class.
Thank you!
