I have been a student of Marykate’s for over 15 years. As a yoga teacher myself, I have attended many other yoga classes and I have never found another yoga teacher who combines her knowledge of yoga, her compassion, and her sense of humor. She has the ability to gently nudge a student into doing poses that you never imagined and learning more about yourself in the process.

Even though I moved away and cannot attend Marykate’s live classes regularly, I try to be at her class whenever possible and am grateful for the zoom classes she teaches. Attending her classes has made me more aware of my body and made me feel stronger and healthier both physically and emotionally. Marykate’s classes have been life-changing for me and I highly recommend them.

When I turned 70 earlier this year I promised myself that I would do what I could to stay healthy.  About that time Marykate began offering her 30 days of daily yoga and transformation.  I have participated in each session she has offered and plan to participate in the next.

These daily classes have been the anchor of maintaining my physical and emotional health.  Marykate is truly a transformative teacher.  Her classes are innovative, inspiring, fun, and spiritually transforming.  I have taken classes with many different teachers and am trained as a yoga teacher myself and have never found any other teacher that combines all the aspects of yoga like Marykate.

From my perspective, this is a perfect fit for those of us 55 plus who want to maintain our physical and spiritual health as we become older.  Some of the poses may be challenging but Marykate offers options and encourages all of us to do only what we can and to honor ourselves for that.

I know that I have grown spiritually through her inspiring classes.  Through this daily practice, I no longer feel many of the aches and pains I experienced before.  This daily practice has improved my life immeasurably.  I feel truly blessed to be able to participate.

I’m currently in my third 30 Day Transformation series (because I just cannot get enough.) I had been looking for something to break the stagnation I was experiencing, so naturally, I chose to transform with one of the funniest, wisest people I know… What I’ve always loved about MaryKate’s teaching (and especially in this series) is that she doesn’t focus solely on your body- there is an emphasis on the wellness of your mind, your spirit, unlocking the potential of what has been dormant inside you- starting there and working its way out. I love the marriage of the slower meditation and chanting coupled with movement. No fluff- straight to the good stuff.

During each of these series I have been reintroduced to a new ”me” over and over again, that is more confident and willing to live and thrive- all while being supported by others who are doing the same. A community of badasses! I feel so blessed to be a part of something that reminds me every day to reflect and ultimately be present. “To exist in this moment now, as this is the only moment we have, this is our someday.” I practice in order to be strong on the inside (but I can’t complain about the finetuning of the outside). These last three months have been some of the best, most vividly colored, and wild months of my life, and I can’t help but think there must be some correlation… Cheers to living again!!
