About the teacher

Maria has been practicing and teaching yoga since 2011. For her, yoga is the ability to live comfortably in her own body, to enjoy its movements and how it looks in the mirror. It is also a way to cope with stress, irritation, anxiety, and fatigue.

Over time, her interest in the practice deepened, and she developed a passion for exploring yoga “from the other side.” Maria began teaching after receiving positive feedback on the clarity of her instruction and practice.

For her, the most important aspects of her classes are safety and clarity for her students. Her style is based on simple, accessible explanations accompanied by demonstrations. Maria believes that the keys to complex asanas always lie in simple movements.

She builds a relationship with her students that is both ethical and humorous. She finds a conversational style without excessive seriousness to be more lively and natural.
