Yoga Shapeshifting: A Transformation Journey with Mary Jarvis

---

FROM MARY:

"Hello, yoga friends! Yoga Shapeshifting, a practice I developed, is truly for EVERYONE! It represents a Universal Constant that benefits ALL. My journey into Yoga ShapeShifting began as a way to heal from spine damage and relentless pain due to a serious car accident in the 90's. In my quest for relief, I turned to Hatha Yoga and my own Yoga ShapeShifting practice, which I often describe as the 'Dark before the Dawn.' I believed that if I could once again master the Locust posture and stand on my neck, I could prove my spine doctor wrong about my future.

The years following the car accident were tough, filled with varying degrees of pain and fear. I kept much of my suffering to myself, holding on to a High Vision. I needed to find a way to escape the pain and save my life, my spine, my yoga practice, and my heart. I dedicated hours each day to work on my body, focusing on 'Body Part by Body Part'—EVERY DAY!

Eventually, I succeeded. This journey took time and daily practice, fueled by high hopes for my life. What I achieved has since evolved into Mary Jarvis Yoga Shapeshifting. Nowadays, everything seems to need a title! Many master teachers, yoga champions, and competition coaches have found value in my work and my story of learning to stand on my neck again.

I often reflect on what I had to do to reach that point, and I will always express my gratitude to God for the Guidance and Inspiration I received along the way. I am just so grateful."
