MEET MARA
Mother, traditional midwife, student of Yoga and the art of tea, teacher, and writer on themes of motherhood, womanhood and how things end.
She has spent the better part of two decades teaching yoga to athletes as well as to pregnant and postpartum women, alongside supporting mothers through homebirth care.
She travels internationally to offer women’s retreats and circles, including her beloved co-created pre and postnatal yoga teacher training, offered yearly in Guatemala, and online. She has completed a work of narrative non-fiction and is actively in the process of writing on the life story of her teacher and mentor, Sister MorningStar.
Mara’s current focus is hosting Death Café in her community, writing, and serving as the Founder and Executive Director of Sprinkles From Selah – a not for profit initiative dedicated to uplifting girls between the ages of 8-12 with a focus on art and sport in honour of her late daughter Selah, who died at 10 years old.
Currently, protecting the sacred feminine, mothering her three living children and tending to sacred last breaths is Mara’s main focus.
