Lakewood Artist Series
A place to present artists of all kinds and mediums.
Well known to yoga enthusiasts around Lakewood, Mary Duryea, has taught yoga classes for residents since 2011. Retiring from a medical career in 2005, Mary decided to make teaching yoga a second career. She holds credentials to teach with the Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 and also is certified as a yoga therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT). Mary has taught classes in many local venues, but since COVID, her classes have been exclusive to Lakewood.
Over the years of practicing and studying yoga, Mary personally embraced it into her lifestyle for its physical health benefits. Creating her own healthy, active life and enabling others to find ways for yoga to improve their own self health care, inspired Mary to write the book Yoga as Integrated Medicine, Yoga Sutras Meet Grays Anatomy. Mary wanted to pass on her knowledge of yoga from the viewpoint of a family practice physician and to educate healthcare providers and yoga practitioners about how and why yoga works.
Through this book, Mary hopes to leave something of herself in writing for her children and grandchildren. Mary’s book is available through https://booklocker. com/12117 and other online bookstores.
Mary moved to Lakewood in 1992. She has three adult children, Karl, Kelsey, and Tessa and one grandson Leo. Mary and her husband, Ed Kraemer, enjoy many different activities around the water in Lakewood, and embrace the friendliness of the people who live here. Mary spends time with nature whenever possible, including gardening at Unity Vegetable Garden as a volunteer.
Mary’s yoga classes are listed in the Ripples, and anyone is welcome to join at any level. Come on up and join Mary’s yoga students on their way to a healthier way of being in the world.
