Paula is a 200-hour yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance having been a student of yoga since 2008. She was born and raised in Canada and moved to Boston in 1988 to work in clinical and research pathology labs. She moved to Texas in 1997; earned her master’s degree; and then married and started a family. Paula has taught biomedical sciences at both the high school and college level. Now with an empty nest (although her golden retrievers, Violet and Poppy would disagree), she is excited to explore this new chapter of her life teaching yoga in the community. Class - Thursday at 9:00am

Yoga found Paula when a dear friend invited her to attend a community class in April of 2021 and she fell in love with changes she saw in herself, both inside and out. When given the opportunity to be a part of the first ever 200-hour yoga teacher training available in Harlingen through Yoga Alliance and at Aum Yoga Studio, she jumped at the chance. She is a firm believer in the power that positivity can bring in a group fitness setting, and she wants to share this with anyone who attends her classes. Paula was born and raised in Northern Maine and moved to South Texas in 1991. She has three children and has had the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom to them with the support of her beloved husband.

Mary began her yoga journey back in the 70’s when she discovered “Lilas, Yoga & You” on public broadcasting television. The postures were her main focus back then and for most of her years. With wisdom that comes to you as you age, she found that yoga is much deeper. It is a philosophy which she tapped into and wants to share with others.

Stacey was born in Waco, Texas and spent her childhood in Brownsville, Texas. She returned to Waco to attend high school and college. She made Harlingen her home when she joined her family business, Scoggins Construction Company as their office manager. She became incredibly involved in the Junior League of Harlingen (serving as President) and the Associated General Contractors. Stacey is married to Dr. Jim Rowe, and together they are actively involved with the Harlingen Country Club. She started attending yoga in 2009 at Ahimsa Yoga, which later became Aum Yoga Studio. The teachers that have been at this studio through the years have been instrumental in her pursuit of becoming a yoga instructor. Stacey is most appreciative of being able to attend yoga teacher training in the same studio where her yoga journey began. Stacey is a 500 hour yoga instructor.
