The Yoga Room

Mary Grayson is the owner of The Yoga Room. Her yoga practice started when she moved to Auburn in 2018, and her very first yoga class was at The Yoga Room. "It only took one class for me to be intrigued by the practice and feel captivated by the sense of community and the challenge that yoga brought to me. The Yoga Room has been life changing for me, and I am so happy to be able to share this practice with others."As a former college athlete, she sustained many injuries through soccer which put an end to playing sports. She sought out yoga to help heal herself and strengthen her body after recent injuries and surgeries. She quickly learned that yoga is more than just exercise, but a way to heal the body, mind and spirit. In just one year of a regular yoga practice she noticed a tremendous increase in strength that athletics did not provide, and decrease in pain throughout her body, which inspired her to go through teacher training at Auburn University to share this practice with others.Mary Grayson received a Master's Degree in Physical Education and a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science from the School of Kinesiology at Auburn University. "When I am not at the studio, chances are I am teaching yoga to athletes at Auburn University. As a former athlete, one of my biggest passions is bringing this practice to athletes and watching them discover their love for yoga as well."Mary Grayson loves teaching functional style flows, that are great for any athlete or someone who wants to have more mobility and control over their body. She believes that yoga can be a great supplement to any other type of exercise as it can help prevent injuries. Mary Graysons classes incorporate mindfulness, breath work, movement linked togther in a special way, always with the intention to make you feel better in your body and calm in the mind. Her classes will leave you feeling strong and resilient, ready to take on whatever comes your way.
