Marcy Murphy 

Marcy has a life long passion for dance, fitness and staying in good shape.  She loves not only the physical benefits of exercise, but the psychological benefits as well.  She was first introduced to yoga during a business trip to California and she loved it immediately.

After retiring from the medical sales industry to be a full time mom, Marcy found the time to pursue her love of yoga.  Marcy obtained her Yoga Fit certification in 2005 in an effort to learn more about yoga and to explore teaching to beginners on a volunteer basis.

Marcy was naturally drawn to the idea of teaching, but she really hoped to gain an even greater understanding of the more technical aspects of yoga, proper alignment, and yoga philosophy.  “I realized there was so much more to yoga than the fitness aspect”.  As a result, in 2010 she completed a 250 Yoga Alliance approved certification, Subtle Yoga and Personal Transformation.  Marcy sees yoga practice as a life long learning process, and will continue to gain knowledge through various educational programs.

“I love all aspects of yoga and what it does for me mentally and physically.  I am excited to share my knowledge with others through teaching, and hope my students too will benefit from it as much as I have”.

Marcy has recently started a yoga club at an area high school, and hopes to expand the programs to other schools.  Outside of teaching, Marcy loves to spend time with her terrific husband, Greg, her kids; Sean and Alex, her four legged friends; George and Dexter, as well as her wonderful friends.  She also enjoys volunteering and pursuing her love of photography.
