Maureen Bakis

Maureen Bakis is the mother of four adults and one Golden Retriever, Finn. She taught high school English in Massachusetts for fourteen years before becoming a yoga teacher and mental health counselor. Her first book about teaching graphic novels taught her that we see the world not as it is but as we are. Her second book, Classic Wisdom for the Modern Human: A Self-Study Guide for Wellness (2019) is based on her experience as a long-time student of philosophy; teaching teachers and teaching the Humanities; her many years in helping relationships and coaching, as well as her everyday immersion in the process of self-realization (otherwise known as yoga practice!).
