About Mara

Mara Harris Yoga Explorer / Yoga CoachMara's offering of yoga is inspired by an eclectic background in the movement arts (Tai Chi, Contact Improv Dance, African Dance, Rhythmic Gymnastics). Mara believes in harmonizing mind, body and will through a unique blend of yogic styles and allowing the spirit to play. Her intention is to “transpire” yoga as a sacred and advantageous means to delve into subtle aspects of mind, body and energy, teaching that when conditions of compassion and acknowledgement are present, transformation happens exponentially.Mara holds a B.A. from the University of Oregon and became a certified yoga teacher through the Nataraja Yoga and Meditation Center in San Diego. There she received training in Hatha Yoga Sivananda Style and also completed their two year Expert in Life Program. Mara was one of 25 yoga teachers selected to be in the first lineage of AcroYoga teachers certified in the United States. Having completed the AcroYoga Teacher Training in August 2006 she now teaches AcroYoga workshops through out San Diego/Los Angeles County.“I have found that the transformative nature of yoga is exponential effecting our mind, body and spirit on and off the mat; the adventuring spirit is called out to join with others to play, to explore, and reflect our gifts and worth in each others presence.” - Mara Harris
