Muriel Quinn

Muriel Quinn came to yoga seeking healing from a physical injury and discovered a transformative path to wellness. With a dedicated practice, she traded weekly trips to healthcare providers for yoga classes and maintains an active personal practice. Muriel is an enthusiastic learner of the eight limbs of yoga, and her teaching focuses on breathing and physical alignment in a non-competitive atmosphere. She believes that everyone can benefit from a yoga practice and offers modifications and hands-on adjustments to her students.

​

Muriel's educational background includes an AM in Social Service Administration (MSW) from the University of Chicago and an MA in Divinity from the Catholic Theological Union. She studied Hatha Yoga at The Temple of Kriya Yoga in Chicago and also in the Anusara lineage. Additionally, Muriel received Green Tara transmission in the Tara Mandala tradition.

​

Her journey in yoga began under the guidance of her first teacher, Mary Samano, with whom she studied privately for many years. Muriel's teaching is influenced by Jim Bennitt's Tantric Hatha, the playful yoga of Sarah Starnes, and the depth of knowledge she gained from Gabriel Halpern. Her practice continues to evolve with the grace and wisdom of Sally Kempton.

​

Muriel resides in Oak Park, IL, with her husband, where they raised their four children, a dog, and backyard chickens. She offers several yoga retreats each year at Casa de la Diosa in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
