In Person Offerings
Slow Flow, Mantra & Sonic Blessings w/ Mary Bue at Yess Yoga
Saturday, September 16th | 7-9 pm | $35 or $50/two people
Spend your evening in sweet community, surrounded in sound.
Connect body & breath in a slow flow sequence, exploring what it feels like to add sacred syllables, humming, and sounding breaths in a low-intensity asanapractice. With asana, we gently prepare and warm the body to become a vessel & recipient of sound. From here we will explore a few mantras ~ tools & techniques to focus and protect the mind ~ to the best of our abilities, with reverence to the ancient teachings from whence they came. To follow, enjoy guided relaxation and sonic blessings – a serenade of original songs, bhakti devotional mantras, hymns, and more – while in a restorative or resting pose. Movement, mantra, and music to connect with your heart.

YOGA BIO:
Mary Bue is a registered yoga teacher (e-RYT 500), an indie musician, and a teacher in the Viniyoga tradition, a breath-centered, flowing practice that believes in adapting postures to fit the whole person (not forcing a person to fit into a posture!). Mary received her certification at Whole Life Yoga in Seattle, WA by 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 certificate in Nada Yoga (the Yoga of Sound) from Nada Yoga School in Rishikesh India.
Mary has pursued continuing yoga education in prenatal yoga, yoga for anxiety & depression, pranayama, and 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 has also 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. Mpls for nearly 3 years (closing Jan. 2019).
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.
In her life as a musician Mary has toured in 40+ states, released 7 albums, been awarded four artist grants, enjoyed three Artist in Residence awards, and has served on the board and steering committee of the Duluth Homegrown Music Festival.
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, and Italy.
Mary is an avid runner (10 half marathons and two full marathons), nature lover and vegan. In her spare time, she enjoys playing music, cooking, writing blogs, poetry and in journals, painting cow portraits, reading non-fiction and traveling.
