Directions: Located across from the Farmer's Market Pavilion on S. Liberty Street. Parking is available in the Farmer's Market lot, or in the nearby Water/Bruce St. parking garage.
Enter the factory renovation complex from Liberty Street, walk onto the covered walkway towards the middle of the building and look for the elevator and stairwell. Come to the second floor. Walk straight ahead (back towards the Farmer's Market side of the building), to Ice House Studios, Yoga and Pilates. Come inside, and wait for me on the couch.
*Phone Clients, 540-289-2419: Please call this number at your scheduled appointment time.
*Skype Camera Clients (Skype Address: Mary.E.Pargas): go to skype.com, create an account and add Mary to your contact list. This will send an auto-invite to Mary, and she will accept. At the scheduled appointment time, turn off all programs on the computer, bring up the Skype application and click on Mary's contact. Wait for Mary to call you then click on the "camera icon" to begin the session.
Best Option: for complete support of the mind/body/spirit holistic healing, it is suggested that the client completes the initial intake, meets with Mary and begins a 40 day practice of their personalized yoga set, and sets weekly appointments to adjust the practice and to answer questions about the healing process concerning emotional shifts, relationship changes, body changes, mental healing, and spiritual insights.
Other Option: every client and healing situation is different. Some clients have a good support team in place to help during the healing process and some are just beginners. A client has the option of calling Mary on an as-needed basis.
