Moon~Day Vibes - Yoga, Etcetera at Modus Locus ~ In person + Online Series w/ Mary Bue e-RYT
Mondays 6:30-7:45pm June 29th - Aug 24th
Join musician + yoga teacher Mary Bue for 9 summer Monday evenings from 6:30-7:45pm CT for Moon~Day Yoga. Evening offerings may include an intuitive mix of mindful movement, breath-work, meditations, mantra, yoga nidra & sonic blessings reflecting the energy of the the moon of the day: its phases, astrological sign transits, archetypes, poetry, music, and more.
Monday is the day of the moon! "Monday" derives from the Old English Mōnandæg, "Moon's day." Many names for this day derive from Luna, the Roman name for the Moon.
dies Lunae - Latin
Lundi - French
Lunes - Spanish
Lunedì - Italian
In Japanese, 月曜日 (Getsuyōbi) translates to "Moon day" and in Hindi, Somvar derives from Soma, an ancient name for the Moon … and also the nectar of immortality!
Let’s celebrate the moon + community (com-moon-ity??!) with Yoga, etcetera!
No previous yoga experience necessary - postures and practices will be explained with multiple options for the body of the day, and rest is always encouraged.
If practicing online, a link will be email to registered guests.

Mary’s Yoga Bio
A registered yoga teacher (e-RYT 500) in the Viniyoga tradition, Mary received her certification at Whole Life Yoga in Seattle, WA from Tracy Weber, (student of Gary Kraftsow, student of T.K.V. Desikachar) and her 300 hour from Yoga Center Retreat (formerly Yoga Center of Minneapolis). In 2020, Mary received an additional 200-hour Nada Yoga (the Yoga of Sound) certificate from Nada Yoga School in Rishikesh India, and in 2024 co-founded a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with her master teacher Tara Cindy Sherman, launching Yojita Yoga Teacher Training.
Mary has pursued continuing education in prenatal yoga, yoga for anxiety & depression, pranayama, and a 30-hour certification in Trauma-informed Yoga with Firefly Yoga International. Mary was a teaching assistant for Whole Life Yoga’s ten-month-long, 200-hour teacher training in 2010 and assisted in WLY’s “Yoga for Healthy Backs” Series. She has her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Transpersonal Psychology from the University of Minnesota–Duluth. Mary has also received volunteer training in sexual assault victim advocacy from PAVSA and domestic violence victim support from DAIP. She founded and ran Imbue Yoga Studio in S.

As a wanderer-luster and experience junkie, she has worked in many types of jobs: as a clinical research assistant in a prison & hospital, an AIDS prevention outreach worker on the streets, and harm reduction work in needle exchanges, as well as many hundreds of hours as a server, bartender, and barista.
All of these experiences culminate in the guiding of Creativity and Yoga Retreats. Mary has led and co-led retreats in Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Bali, Malta, Ireland, India, Mexico, and Italy.
Mary is an avid runner (10 half marathons and two full marathons), a nature lover, and a vegan. In her spare time, she enjoys playing music, cooking, writing blogs, poetry, and in journals, painting cow portraits, reading non-fiction, and traveling.
