“Increased My Game”
"Yoga has increased my game physically and mentally. It also benefits the body as well as the mind giving one a relaxed state of mind. I believed that weight lifting was all I needed to be a complete athlete, but I was wrong." "Sid McNairy has changed my entire perception of yoga. I have suggested yoga to my past; previous and current teammates in order to get stronger, faster, and more flexible. Taking class with Sid has no age limit, any and everyone regardless of age, skill level, and flexibility can join." -Gerrard Sheppard Baltimore Raven
Liz McNairy
Woman’s Empowerment Coach / Counselor / Yoga Instructor
“There is love”
Liz creates an environment of love everywhere she goes. Through the balance of power and grace, she will leave you a feeling of Peace with your oneness. "I attended a workshop Liz put on for Mothers and Daughters. I asked her if I could bring my 9-year-old daughter, who had just started gymnastics, and had asked me about yoga possibly helping with her core strength. It couldn't have been more perfectly timed. But what I found out after the workshop was that we bonded on a level that I didn't know we would...." -T.P. Baltimore Parent

When you are in Sid's presence, you feel Peace. Sid's journey with the practice started with meditation coaches at eight years of age. He first began doing the physical part of the practice of to find a way to heal both physically and emotionally. As Sid developed the practice, he realized many health benefits, such as his asthma's disappearance, which had plagued him for 30 years, and a full range of motion in his right ankle that fused in 1995.
As a previous football coach at Northern Illinois University, Sid also received a major in Movement and Sports Science from Purdue University and a master's degree in Sports Administration from Eastern Illinois University. Sid's path aids others to find their walk to healing and inspire others is destined.
Sid credits his parents with inspiring him to move forward and touch so many lives. Growing up with two successful parents, yogis in their own right, his mother and father's lifestyle practices instilled a foundation from which Sid could freely grow and become a masterful yogi. "I can… I will… I must…" was the mantra used in the McNairy household. Later this became, and has remained, the basis of the lifestyle many live today.
Sid is an author of multiple books, including his second book, Yoga and Life Empowerment, in which he became a best-selling author in 2016. His other books include Empowerment and Beyond, The Warrior Within, a Quest for Peace, and Those Who Know God. Sid is also working on a fifth book, The Art of Peaceful Living, due to release 11:11:2021.
