Hello!

THANK YOU for visiting the Daily Downward Dog.

I am not offering any live yoga classes at this time, but you can still practice with me online. Just click on the Videos page to find a library of over 50 pre-recorded yoga classes you can take with me anytime. There are Slow Flow & Meditation classes and Relax and Recharge classes, and a whole class series focused on the chakras.

Looking for some inspirational reading? Head on over to my blog and enjoy some stories about my yoga journey!

FOLLOW ME on Facebook or Instagram for updates on new workshop and retreat offerings.

Maria incorporates uplifting messages, playful class themes, the spiritual teachings of yoga, laughter, smiles, and at least one very enthusiastic “Woo hoooo!” into her classes.

About Maria

Maria has turned to the restorative power of yoga several times in her life. Initially, the practice of yoga helped Maria find physical relief from the chronic pain of scoliosis, diagnosed in her teens. Later in her life, Maria turned to yoga again after extreme stress from a consuming career that took a toll on her body and mind. Maria discovered that through the physical and spiritual healing of yoga and meditation she was finally able to leave her aching back and stress behind. Yoga has brought Maria better health, a peaceful soul, and a satisfying, balanced way of living that eventually led her to her life’s true calling. Maria became a yoga teacher in 2009.  Read the rest of my story….

“My experience with Maria and all her retreats I’ve attended have been amazing. Mind, body, soul, gratitude, love, peace, mindfulness… Her presence is filled with laughter, love, awareness and much more. I return home with a reinforced appreciation for humanity, the environment and my heart is abundant with love and appreciation. Maria is Goddess Supreme in my world. Love her to the moon and back.” – J. Hite
