Mae first discovered yoga at the age of sixteen during a mental health crisis. Though she only practiced briefly at the time, the experience planted a seed that would later take root. In 2022, during another difficult season, she returned to her mat and rediscovered how grounding and centering yoga could be. This time, she knew she needed to commit to consistency, recognizing that showing up regularly was her way of staying present in both her body and her life. She is a 200-hour RYT trained in Power Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga and apprenticed with the Teacher Leader Development Program in July 2025. Mae is a lifelong-learner and she is, as she often says, “all in.” for her studentship.

In her classes, whether Power or Yin, students can expect to feel grounded, supported, and deeply engaged. Mae loves being part of the Grace & Glory Yoga team because it continually places her in the role of student. The practice has taught her to live with curiosity, to notice the nuance of humanity and the world, and to embrace learning and relearning as a lifelong path.

Her hope is that students leave her classes with a deeper sense of trust in themselves, fully present in their own bodies, and courageous enough to meet reality exactly as it is. Outside the studio, Mae studies anthropology, archaeology, and philosophy at Stockton University. She has a deep love of learning in all its forms - reading, writing, scrapbooking, gardening, identifying plants and birds, exploring new music, running, and hiking.

She also works as a barista at Jessie’s of Linwood, one of our beloved Community Partnerships.

Yoga has given Mae the gift of stability and personal responsibility, teaching her to live not at the effect of her life but at the cause of it. From that place, she is present, connected, and joyfully alive.
