ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Mary Amante Butcher

Barefoot Barre + Yoga grew out of a missed yoga class. The founder, Mary Butcher, was racing to get to a yoga class at a local gym but ended up walking into a barre class. One year later her dear friend Lola Gulomova convinced her to do barre teacher training with her, which Lola ended up not attending! Fast-forward two years later, Mary has been teaching barre around the DC Metro area non-stop and recently started teaching yoga, becoming a 200-hr registered yoga instructor in 2020.
