Mary

Mary has a deep passion for yoga, with extensive training in various styles, meditation, and Reiki. She blends these practices seamlessly into her teaching, creating a truly unique experience. She loves helping her students discover that yoga is more than just a practice on the mat — it’s a way of living. Through cultivating the mind-body connection, she guides her students to make yoga a lasting tool for life.

Mary Licciardi founded Soul Purpose Yoga to help individuals navigate the grieving process. With 30 years of yoga practice and certification as an instructor in 2018, Mary deeply connected with the healing power of yoga during her own profound losses.

Her grief yoga program teaches you to understand the body's physiological response to grief, using breathwork and mindful movement to release emotions stored in the body. This approach allows the brain to process feelings, giving you space to cope with grief peacefully.

Mary understands that grief takes many forms—loss of loved ones, pets, illness, or divorce—and believes that healing can happen, one breath and one pose at a time.
