Mary Ellen Zung
Mary Ellen believes every day is a fresh opportunity to grow into the person we aspire to be. As a dedicated health coach and practicing yogi for more than 20 years, she is passionate about inspiring individuals of all ages and abilities to explore the benefits of yoga—for health, happiness, mental and physical awareness, healthy aging, stress relief, and the joy of being part of a kind-hearted community.
She studied Aligned Flow with Christy Linson (E-RYT 500, YACEP) through Yoga Alliance, receiving comprehensive training in Beginners, Open Level, Chair Yoga, Yoga for Expectant Women, and Restorative Yoga. Fulfilling a long-held dream, Mary Ellen earned her 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) certification and is officially certified through Yoga Alliance.
Mary Ellen often reminds students that yoga isn’t about perfecting a headstand—though it was her grandmother’s party trick! Instead, it’s about showing up on and off the mat to learn and grow. She looks forward to sharing this journey with others.
