Mary MacKinnon Boyd
While living in Somerville, MA I attended my first Baptiste Power Yoga class at the Cambridge studio about 8 years ago and I’ve been practicing on and off ever since. I’ve tried other forms of exercise but nothing works my body as well as my mind in quite the same way. My practice began to deepen about 3 years ago and in October 2009, I attended to a Personal Revolution week with Baron Baptiste in Tulum, Mexico. I attended a Yoga Life Coaching Certification with Master Baptiste teacher Deborah Williamson in June 2010 in Costa Rica and then was invited to attend her 200 Hour Yoga Alliance Teacher Training intensive in July 2010. In addition to my passion about yoga, I’ve spent the last 20 years researching and learning all I can get my hands on in health and nutrition. I have diabetes and heart disease in my family and I am passionate about trying to avoid this fate and age better than my parents and grandparents. In addition to my yoga certifications I am a graduate of the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and I am a Certified Health Coach. I am working towards my 500 Hour Yoga Alliance Certification and will attend Live Love Teach Advanced Teacher Training with Master Baptiste teachers Deborah Willaimson, Stacy Dockins and Philip Urso in November 2011. I’m so happy to be part of the NH Power Yoga team!
