With Mary Claire Delony

A Louisiana native, Mary Claire discovered yoga almost two decades ago and has been teaching the practice for the last 14 years in yoga studios, fire stations, residential addiction centers, prisons, and adolescent psychiatric facilities. Her early years of practice were richly steeped in Ashtanga Vinyasa and Jivamukti, but age and motherhood eventually led her down the path towards slower + steadier movement and the integration of QiGong. Movement practices have taken her though every life transition and have evolved parallel to her creative endeavors and the many rabbit holes of self inquiry. She began regularly visiting an EES center in Louisiana a few years ago and was thrilled to find a TLS here in her new home! The Light System is a synchronistic pairing to QiGong and energy work.
She and her family are now embarked on a journey of unwinding stress in their new life out in the mountains and consciously connecting to the natural world. When she is not teaching or taking care of her two girls, you can find her barefoot in the woods or in a river soaking it all in. Movement and breath practices are no longer sectioned off times of the day - they are vital elements of life and she hopes to bring that passion to fellow practitioners.
What She Offers
Mary Claire Delony offers small group movement | breath | meditation experiences that work with the principles of spiraling Qi, your bioelectricity, throughout the whole body through movement and awareness to help release stuck energy and to cultivate + store Universal Qi - the energy around us that is available to gather inward. The movement is gentle and smooth, sometimes looking like yoga but mostly flowing forms of QiGong, building resiliency + mobility + balance while also assisting in the balance of our stress hormones.
You are the one driving your own Qi bus in these experiences and will feel the results of first, becoming aware of the energy, and then using your curiosity and sense of play to direct that life force where you need it to go. We will turn down the "noise" of life and build up our internal stores of available energy so that we simply feel better.
