MaryAlice began practicing hot yoga in 2017 as a physical balance for Crossfit and as a mental balance for workplace stress. Although she left Crossfit behind in 2022, yoga has been a constant for MaryAlice for many years, and you can often catch her in the studio in the early mornings and even the occasional double class on the weekends. Because she loved the hot yoga practice so much, MaryAlice decided to take a huge leap and participated in the Roots Hot Yoga 200 Hour YTT with Nikki Pochily and graduated in April 2024.

      MaryAlice loves to challenge herself to all the different hot classes at Roots, but deeply loves the Hot 80 most of all. It may be from her Crossfit years, but MaryAlice loves longer classes with as much heat and intensity as possible!

      Outside of yoga, MaryAlice has accomplished educational goals, earning both a Bachelor and Master of Public Health, and also works in the criminal justice field. She enjoys traveling whenever possible and loves attending concerts and cooking. In the quiet moments, MaryAlice loves to relax at home with her partner, Matthew, and their doodles Greta and Toby!
