Mary Taylor began studying yoga in 1971 while earning a degree in psychology at University, but it was not until 1988 when she traveled to Mysore, India for the first time to study Ashtanga yoga with K. Pattabhi Jois, and began a daily asana practice that yoga became a central thread informing all aspects of her life.

Mary is the co-founder, with her husband, Richard Freeman, and the director of the Yoga Workshop, in Boulder, Colorado. When not traveling and teaching elsewhere Mary teaches regularly at the Yoga Workshop. She is also on the faculty of the Upaya Zen Centers Being With Dying Program and has taught as part of the core teaching staff for the Urban Zen Integrative Therapy training program.

She brings to her teaching a deep respect for the healing and calming effects of yoga. Her classes are engaging and fun, focusing the flow of the breath, steady movement and the feeling of completeness and insight that can be cultivated through a consistent practice. Mary has authored three cookbooks and is the co-author of What Are You Hungry For? Women, Food and Spirituality (St. Martins).

Level 1

Ashtanga with 2 teachers

With a reputation for being rigorous, Ashtanga can seem intimidating to newcomers. While it can certainly be physically demanding, Ashtanga is meant to be built upon gradually and can be adapted to feel good for anyone. In this beginner-minded program, you'll systematically learn the basics of posture, breath, and movement with two of Ashtanga’s master teachers, Mary Taylor and Richard Freeman. Featuring modifications that not only help mold the poses to your current level but also to how you’re feeling day by day, this program will help you lay the groundwork for a lifelong practice.

Building Your Ashtanga Primary Series

Ashtanga with 2 teachers

Taught by legendary teachers, this program will introduce a segment of the Ashtanga Primary Series each week, combining detailed tutorials with a vigorous practice. You'll repeat each segment for six days, then expand on what you've learned in the following week. The primary series is challenging, so you are encouraged to continue repeating a segment until you feel ready to progress. No matter your pace, by the end of the program you'll have learned the full, 90-minute sequence, giving you a solid foundation for a lifelong practice.

Conscious Eating

Mary Taylor • Breathwork

This meditation is for bringing balance and nourishment to the everyday activity of eating. You'll need a bite or two of three different foods you typically like in front of you. It's best to include some variety in character, taste, and texture so you can fully engage your senses and learn to listen to your body.

The Vast Heart

Mary Taylor • Mindfulness

Deeply connect with your inner sense of wonder, joy, and curiosity as you drop into the natural capacity of your heart. Begin with a body scan then release tension with your breath as you cultivate an embodied sense of open-heartedness.

Breath to Relax and Relieve Stress

Mary Taylor • Breathwork

Use your breath to connect with the earth and expand into creativity. Notice the sensations you feel at the peak and valley of each breath as you drop deeply into an experience of mindful awareness.
