Mary’s yoga class is one of the reasons I love living in Bishop. Her extensive training in the tradition of BKS Iyengar is complemented by her experience as a professional outdoor athlete and skilled body worker. She reads bodies extremely well and provides lots of individual instruction and adjustments suited for your needs. Can recommend her classes to people of any level!

This was my first time doing Pilates & I am so glad I had the night off because I thoroughly enjoyed it! Mary is an amazing teacher that really emphasizes proper technique and form - which I really appreciate! She is good at explaining the muscles that require activation and the breath work that accompanies each movement. There is so much to think about while doing each exercise but she helps with physical and verbal cues that make it easy to understand - again, which I really appreciate! She is very mindful of one’s injuries or limitations and works with you to strengthen those weaknesses or minimize discomfort to any sore or injured parts of your body. I can’t wait to take more of her classes as I could already tell after just the one class how this will benefit my everyday life and all the sports I like to do. Do yourself a favor and join her class! Thanks Mary!!!!

I've studied yoga with Mary for several years. Because of her precise teaching style, I have been able to maintain a home practice when I can't be in class. Would definitely recommend her!

I’ve taken yoga classes throughout my life here and there (mostly from hotshot yogis in San Francisco) since I’ve heard so many people espouse the amazing benefits of a regular yoga practice, but I never personally felt these benefits until I took Mary’s class. I really appreciate the focus on form and the individualized adjustments. Since taking her class, the nagging pain in my ankles and knees (due to a decade long injury) have FINALLY subsided and I feel more balanced overall.

I have been doing yoga with Mary for 9 years now, and I am convinced that my health is vastly better because of it. She is an observant, careful teacher who takes her practice incredibly seriously and pays individual attention to a student's progress. A study recently came out showing that proper yoga is better to relieve back pain than typical medications, and Mary provides an excellent environment to gain the most benefit from practicing yoga. I gained a lot from her pilates instruction last summer as well.

I am 67 years old and I've haven't felt this good in 30 years! I feel like I want to do more. After 40 years of mining and construction work my body has taken a toll. Pilates has helped me regain strength and flexibility. I'm on a path to recovery.

I absolutely love taking Iyengar classes with Mary. She is the best yoga teacher I've ever had and I won't take classes with any other instructor. Even when I was in Boulder, CO for graduate school, I could not find an instructor that matched her level of instruction and attention. She has deep understanding and awareness of both yoga and the body, truly a master of her craft.

I have practiced Iyengar yoga with Mary Devore at Bishop Yoga and Pilates Center for twenty years. Prior to that I practiced in the Bay Area. Mary is an accomplished and extraordinary teacher. Classes can have a wide age range, from athletes in their 20's to those,like me, in their 70's. Mary is able to teach classes that meet the needs of a diverse student base. She is exceptional in helping students modify for injuries, she works with each student individually to correct and improve form, and encourages each student to reach their goals and potential.

I love Mary’s classes. As a year-round athlete and longtime yoga student, I am so grateful to have Mary’s expertise in town. Weekly Iyengar classes realign my body; plus, Mary makes adjustments and teaches alignment throughout, which I find to be rare these days. I have also enjoyed workshops at this studio.
