Marion (Mugs) McConnell was first introduced to yoga in 1971.  Her passion for this ancient practice led her to study
under the late Swami Vishnudevananda where she graduated from the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centre as a Yoga Acharya in 1978. 
Later she became a live-in disciple of the late Dr. Hari Dickman, who was also a devotee of Swami Sivananda and Paramahansa Yogananda. 

Marion is a founding member of the South Okanagan Yoga Association (SOYA) and a Teacher Trainer for SOYA’s Teacher Training Program (RYS500).
She is a Registered Teacher with Yoga Alliance (E-RYT500), and the Canadian Representative for the International Yoga Teachers’ Association since 1980. 
She has presented workshops in Canada, United States, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Australia, and has been teaching yoga for 28 years. 
She currently teaches classes in Naramata and Penticton, while training yoga teachers throughout BC and Alberta.
