Maggie began her love of movement as a child watching her older sister dance ballet. Maggie grew up as a competitive Irish dancer and has always found stability in connecting with her body. During her studies as an art therapist, she became increasingly interested with the connection of mind-body and how this connection is influenced by breath.
She received her 200 level yoga teacher certification from Prema Yoga Brooklyn in 2017. She actively integrates somatic awareness into her therapeutic work with individuals and groups. Additionally, with her extensive history teaching Irish dance, Maggie loves to utilize teaching yoga as a method to share her love of movement, assisting others to build confidence in their abilities.
She sees time on the mat as a metaphor for life and encourages people to find meaning in discomfort that arises in both the flow and stillness of poses. She is fascinated by the dualities yoga embodies, including strength and flexibility, and rising from rootedness.
