Mary Grace, Community Coordinator

Mary Grace is from middle Tennessee and graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. During her undergraduate studies, she focused on mushroom taxonomy and later worked as a field technician in the Smoky Mountains, deepening her connection to the natural world.

Her yoga journey began early, inspired by watching her grandmother practice Sivananda yoga. During college, her grandmother passed along her well-loved yoga books, encouraging Mary Grace to begin her own personal practice.

Mary Grace loves anything that gets her outside — hiking, camping, and foraging are some of her favorite ways to spend time in nature. When she’s indoors, she enjoys reading, cooking, and settling in for a good movie.

She’s excited to share her love of mindful movement, curiosity, and nature with the Blue Ridge Yoga community.
