Mary Strong
Co-Chair MBWIB Mentoring Program
Member Profile
I am a native Californian and recently opened The Green Yogi, an eco-chic power yoga studio in North Manhattan Beach. I played volleyball for Loyola Marymount University, as well as AVP Pro Beach Volleyball, and lived in Manhattan Beach for a short while before starting my career in broadcast journalism. After traveling the U.S. for 14 years as a journalist, I am finally back in California sharing my time between two studios...as a broadcaster for NFL Network and as a yoga instructor teaching students at The Green Yogi. I am excited to be back in Manhattan Beach and sharing my passion for sports and yoga in the South Bay community. I am also very excited to start the new MBWIB Mentorship Program to help connect powerful women in our community. Together we can help support each others dreams and aspirations and become even more successful than we are today.
