Mayre Alyce Achey

INSTRUCTOR, RYT 200

Hi, I’m Marye Alyce! Fresno has been my home for 34 years. I’m a wife, mother and Nana. I have practiced yoga on and off for at least 15 years. During the last 5 years I really began to understand that yoga is so much more than just moving one’s body. It’s also about the peace and ease it can bring to one’s mind. I taught math for 32 years and when I was having a bad day, I joked that I was going to quit and teach yoga. I didn’t quit, but I did retire and so my journey to teaching yoga began. Desiree and Linda made it nearly impossible for me not to pursue my YTT training and I thank them for that. When I’m not doing yoga, I love adventuring with my husband, Steve, and our two dogs, Cooper and Pearl. It is even more special when my children and their families join us on our adventures. I am excited to be joining the OTY team. It is a studio I have come to love- from the teachers to the camaraderie and the general good feelings I get when I walk through the door. I can’t wait to share my love of yoga with everyone.
