Steady and firm. Comfortable and light.
GOODSPACE
HI, WE'RE
MARY & BRIDGET.
Both of us have worked in corporate positions throughout our professional career, but have sought balance through teaching yoga since 2017. We met in 2019 at our 300HR Yoga Teacher Training through Shakti Shack Yoga in Milwaukee, WI and formed a friendship on the very first night. True connection and vulnerability is the foundation to this relationship and the qualities that inspired us to build this community.
​
While rooted in our passion for yoga, both of us love to experience the world through travel and adventure. Mary is currently taking the year to explore the US and Bridget is always planning her next trip to a national park or abroad. Now we are combining our backgrounds in business, yoga and travel to offer you truly unique mindfulness based adventure!

THE MEANING BEHIND "GOODSPACE"
Our Goodspace name is derived from Yoga Sutra 2.46: Sthira Sukham Asanam, which is a concept in yoga that explores steadiness and ease. Sthira can mean resolute, strong and courageous. It arises from the root stha, which means “to stand, to be firm.” Sukha can mean happy, easy and virtuous. The literal meaning of sukha is “good space,” from the root words su (good) and kha (space). The last word, asana, suggests the act of sitting down, inhabiting and being present.
A common translation for this sutra is “to resolutely abide in a good space.” On our retreats we will encourage you to be grounded in and committed to whatever you are doing, when you are doing it.
