Maia S.

Maia is a Yoga Alliance 550hr E-RYT and has been practicing yoga from the age of 14. As many of us experience, Yoga presented to Maia at a time of complete crossroad and acted as a gentle yet thorough guidance, moving her in a more conscious, aligned direction.

Yoga illuminated a pathway to get out of her mind and into her life. Maia interweaves the elemental forces (earth, water, fire, air) in her classes, honouring the cyclical being that we are. Through out the years Maia has completed multiple trainings in Vinyasa, Elemental Vinyasa and Mandala Vinyasa from the roots and lineage of Prana Vinyasa with her root teacher Shiva Rae. Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Myofascial Release, Somatic & Trauma Informed and embodied alignment with specific refinements in Pranayama and Meditation.

In 2017, Maia made the conscious decision to listen to her heart, leave her home in Colorado and move to abroad to deepen her studies and teachings of the ancient tools of Yoga philosophy, Asana practice, the power of Mantra and the importance of meditation finding herself completely immersed in self care & the subtle realms. Maia is passionate about teaching the essence of what yoga really is - beyond the physical postures.

Her teaching is rooted in personal inquiry, deep presence, and a love for movement as medicine with the intention of pointing your in the direction what you require. Guiding asanas as dynamic containers to explore the healing effect of breath as a rememberance of our essentail intelligence.

Her offerings are tools and techniques to show you, everything you need is within you. From a young age the potent truth of Yoga spoke more profoundly to her then any other path - so as she grows in her practice and in her teachings, she chooses to constantly remind you that were all in this together, there is no hierarchy, there is no separation. You are just as much her teacher, as she may be yours.
