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.

“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
