Mary Morrow holds the designation Anusara-Inspired teacher, which requires extensive study hours with John Friend, Anusara Yoga's founder, certified Anusara teachers and independent study in preparation for full certification.  The Anusara style of yoga incorporates a heart-opening and playful attitude along with Universal Principles of Alignment.  

Mary combines certification in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy with over seventeen years of study in yoga, body movement, and meditation.  She is registered with the Yoga Alliance as an Experienced teacher.  She founded Laughing Cobra Yoga in 1997, offering yoga classes, retreats and yoga therapy. 

Her yoga background also includes study with yoga pioneers Michael Lee, Judith Lasater, Rolf Sovik, and local professionals.  Ongoing study in Sanskrit chanting furthers her interest in practices which heal the body, quiet the mind and honor the sacred in life. 

A sensitive approach in adapting poses to each student's unique body characterizes her teaching philosophy.
