your crew
Nearly 50 area women have participated in Nature Force since 2014. And we've had the times. The good ones. The setbacks. The recoveries. The full range of experiences.
​
It is a beautiful thing to find your fellow badasses. And to be clear - we are talking about kind badasses. People who live strong and out there and want to help others do the same. It might seem like a paradox but it's simply women living their truth, unapologetically. Being kind on a deep level rather than nice on a superficial level. Being there and showing up for each other in deeply authentic ways. If this sounds like home to you, join us.
​
I'm Mary McInnis, here to guide you.
I am a biomechanics and psychology geek, and I apply that to teaching yoga and coaching mountain bike handling. I have 10 years in teaching yoga and 3 years racing adventure triathlons and mountain bikes competitively. Below the gallery are some of my racing credentials, but note I had many less successful races early on, and still do. I like the competition. You might not. But you can still learn how to prepare for a competitive event, so you can come out of it more empowered, no matter the place. That's what we do.
​
But it's not just about the race at the end. No way. It's about how we all change along the way, in our own ways, together. It's about growth that brings happiness. Let's do that.
Check back to meet more of our crew leaders!
