Meet Mari
Mari is the President & CEO of Mari Fox Wellness, a heart-centered, women-owned company that promotes positive mental health & well-being through in-person and virtual classes, instructional videos and self-care products. She is a published author, professionally-trained Yoga instructor & Urban Zen Integrative Therapist™(UZIT).
It was at a weekend retreat years ago at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Massachusetts that replenished her energy & spirit. There in the breathtaking natural surroundings of the Berkshires, she felt the true healing power of the practice of Yoga, and the importance to breathe and take time out for quiet introspection.
Her supportive approach to her work is rooted in compassion & aims to teach students of all ages how to manage stress in healthy ways though powerful tools such as Yoga, mindfulness & guided meditation. She enjoys encouraging her students to slow down, breathe and unplug from life’s everyday distractions, and to remind them that Yoga and mindful practices can be fun and are easily accessible.
She holds a Master of Education and K-12 Teaching Certification and now teaches Yoga and Mindfulness online and in schools, at conferences, in boardrooms, at retreats & in summer camps.

Dream it.
“With this new venture, I wanted to help my young and adult students manage stress in healthy ways using Yoga, breath work, and meditation along with creativity and compassion. This heart-centered project seemed the best way to combine my love of people with my background in teaching and in the arts.”
Build it.
“Mari Irwin, a professionally trained Yoga teacher, vividly remembers attending her first Yoga class as a teenager. Even at that young age, she felt the powerful benefits of this ancient discipline with its physical and mental practices that relaxed and centered her. It was only later as an adult during a weekend retreat that she became inspired to make powerful changes in her life which lead to the start of her business…”
