Mary E Abney

Hello, my name is Mary. I grew up in Beaumont, Texas, where I graduated from high school before joining the United States Army. I was first stationed at Ft. Sam Houston in Texas and later served in Bad Kreuznach, Germany with HQ 8th Infantry Division Public Affairs. After returning stateside, we moved to the Ft. Campbell/Clarksville area in 1988, and in August 2020 we made Glasgow our home.nnI am married to David, who has supported me faithfully in every chapter of my life. Together we have four children—William, Kevin, Samantha, and Chelsea—and eight wonderful grandchildren: Greyson, Tyler, Abby, Brooklynn, Quincey, Willow, Azariah, and Isla Mae. My oldest son retired from the Air Force, and my younger son is currently serving on active duty in the Navy. Samantha is a graduate of Trevecca Nazarene University and lives here in Glasgow, while Chelsea graduated from O’More College of Design and now lives in Colorado. My family always comes first.nnFor 16 years, I served the Clarksville, TN community through both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and I also worked with youth groups in two local churches. Today, I teach yoga classes online via Zoom as well as in person at our local YMCA.nnMy yoga education includes a 200u2011hour registered yoga certification in Baptiste Power Flow through Hot Yoga Plus, a 200u2011hour CYT in Hot 26 with Radiant Yoga, and a 500u2011hour RYT with Sanctuary Yoga. I also hold certifications in Prenatal Yoga (Om Grown Mama), Yoga Trapeze© and Breath Coaching (YOGABODY), as well as Restorative and Yin Yoga. In addition, I have completed an intensive workshop on Meditation.nnMy yoga journey began in early 2012 while my husband was deployed to Kuwait. As a lifelong fitness enthusiast, I was ready to take my practice to the next level, and yoga became the perfect platform for growth—physically, mentally, and spiritually. I am grateful every day that this is the path I chose.nnMy favorite Bible verse is: “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” nMy mission is simple: to challenge others to step out in faith through yoga. nYou’re never too old.nnCome join me on the mat,nMary
