Maria believes that a yoga practice has the power to reveal the way we see ourselves, leading us to more acceptance and compassion. These two practices begin to unlock our ability to experience more clearly our most authentic, radiant truth, that we are powerful beyond measure. In her class, students learn to navigate the body and mind, so they can begin to design a connected and intentional life once they’ve left the mat.

She traded in a decade long career in advertising for her real passion, to teach and pass down these sacred and ancient practices so that others can become alive and thrive under the pressures of our modern world.
