Yoga with Mariam
An Introduction
Mariam Gilmer had practiced yoga for many years before she decided to obtain certificates to teach yoga. Since 2005, Mariam has offered yoga to a wide range of people from preschoolers to seniors. Mariam has practiced yoga with young children at Highlands Montessori School, a group of elementary students at Paideia School, Chair yoga with seniors at A.G. Rhode and Berman Commons, at public libraries as well as at her studio in the Northlake area.
Mariam offers Mat yoga, Chair/Mat yoga and Chair yoga.
Mariam obtained her yoga teaching certificate from YogaFit; an organization that trains yoga instructors with Hatha yoga for the mainstream. In November 2013, Mariam completed the Yoga Alliance’s requirements for her 200 HR yoga training certificate.
As part of her training, Mariam has learned to practice yoga with seniors, kids, expectant mothers and new mothers as well as the general population. As part of this work, Mariam has had training in therapeutic yoga for back pain and also in using props for various body challenges.
Hatha yoga is one of the several types of yoga and is the most commonly practiced form of yoga in the United States. Hatha yoga focuses on physical aspects of yoga practice.
The goal of Hatha yoga is to help us create balance and flexibility in our bodies and to complement activities of our daily lives through mindful presence at the time of practice. Mariam hopes that you not only benefit physically from practicing yoga, but also you find clarity in mind and joyfulness in spirit.
Mariam designs her classes for mixed levels so beginners and advanced yoga students benefit from these practices. We practice the poses to create strength, flexibility, endurance and balance while focusing on our breathing. The experience is of non-judgment and non-competition.
The Classes take place on Tuesdays at 10:30AM and 6:00PM, Wednesdays at 11:30AM, Saturdays at 9:30AM, and Sundays at 5PM.
The Chair/Mat Yoga is on Wednesdays from 11:30AM to 12:30PM. In this class, participants may choose to practice in a chair, on a mat or both.
Mariam also offers private lessons, corporate lessons, gift certificates, retreats, and birthdays or other special occasions’ parties.
