Mercy B
Mercy found yoga in 2000, and soon thereafter met her teacher Sarah Powers, who introduced her to Yin Yoga and Buddhist meditation. She completed her first teacher training with Powers and Paul Grilley in 2004, and soon after began teaching Yin Yoga at Eight Limbs Yoga on Capitol Hill. Since then, she has birthed and homeschooled two daughters, moved back and forth across the country, worked in non-profit Community Outreach, all the while maintaining her commitment to Awakening through breath, mind, and body practices, including Ecstatic Dance which she fell in love with along the way. Mercy continues to immerse herself in yoga and meditation, completing two more teacher trainings with Sarah Powers and becoming a certified mindfulness meditation teacher through the International Mindfulness and Meditation Alliance. In addition to yoga and meditation, Mercy is an IFS Informed Coach, integrating Yin Yoga, mindfulness meditation, and psychological self-inquiry into her teachings and practice. www.practiceofmercy.com
