My name is Mallorie and my journey into yoga began in 2014 after struggling with an eating disorder and mental illness. Yoga was used as a healing practice in the treatment center I attended. My very first thought of yoga was “GET ME OUT OF HERE”! For the first time in my life, someone was telling me to notice my toes and the sensations in my body. I was not comfortable with the practice at all! Over time, my instructor continued to work with me to overcome my fears and I fell in love and have been practicing ever since. When I’m not practicing yoga, I enjoy spending time with my dog and family. I love traveling and spending time outside under the sun. In 2018, I completed my 200 hour certification in Prana Vinyasa and have been teaching at Pranayoga since the beginning of 2019! I am currently enrolled in Prana’s Yoga Therapy program and am hoping to use the teachings I have learned to help others who struggle with mental illness and other health related issues. My mission as a teacher and future therapist is to be an open vessel for God to work through me so I can meet students where they are in each moment!

Yoga offers many practices which individually and collectively activate relaxation and which may help to restore the physical body by providing more healthful and productive responses to stress. The effects of yoga therapy, which have been documented, include parasympathetic nervous system activation that lowers the heart rate and the blood pressure thereby reducing the body’s demand (need) for oxygen. Other effects of yoga practices, which have been documented, include improving digestion, elimination and immune function, increasing the vital lung capacity and reducing anxiety and depression.
