I’m Maria, a yoga teacher with roots in Upstate New York and a love of movement, music, and self-discovery. My journey into yoga began in my early 20s as I built a dedicated home practice, finally finding the embodiment and self-connection I’d been missing.

After completing my 200-hour teacher training in Intuitive Vinyasa while living in Santa Barbara, California, I spent five years teaching and building community through sharing my love of self-exploration on the mat before returning to New York in 2024. My teaching style blends the rhythmic flow of vinyasa with elements from my favorite music genres to an experience as soulful as it is grounding.

Astrology also plays a meaningful role in my classes, offering a cosmic perspective that helps my students connect with their own inner rhythms. My classes are designed to foster a space where you can explore movement, listen deeply to your body, and embrace whatever comes up on the mat.
