I believe yoga should meet you where you are. My classes honor the ancient lineage of yoga while adapting to modern bodies and lifestyles. Every student brings unique gifts and challenges to the mat, and my role is to create a safe, supportive space for authentic exploration and growth.

Questions About Maya's Practice
What should I bring to class?
Just bring yourself! We provide mats, blocks, straps, and blankets. If you prefer to use your own mat, you're welcome to bring it.
I've never done yoga before. Which class should I take?
I recommend starting with Gentle Hatha or Restorative Yoga. These classes move at a slower pace and include detailed instruction on alignment and breath work.
Do you offer private sessions?
Yes! Private sessions are great for working on specific goals, recovering from injury, or deepening your practice. I offer 60 and 90-minute sessions at my studio or your location within 15 miles.
