Meet Maria - Children's Yoga Teacher

 

Hello, I am Maria and I am excited to be teaching children yoga with Beam Academy.

 

I really discovered a depth to yoga in 1998, although I had practiced on and off for several before. In 2015 I travelled to Rishikesh, India to do my YTS 200 hour yoga teacher training.  Having a daily practice had a huge impact on my life. A few months later I found Satyanada Yoga, which has deepened my knowledge and experiences and influences my practice and teaching style.

 

I am extremely interested in natural health and therapies, particularly the gut microbiome and the impact it has on our mental, physical and emotional well being. Of course this aligns with Yoga and scientists are now discovering what Yoga has known for thousands of years! 

 

What activities feed your soul?

Satyanada Yoga, walking in nature and EFT.

 

What’s one thing that can instantly make your day better?

Connection - looking into someone’s eyes, really seeing them and then smiling.

 

Do you like going to the movies or prefer watching at home?

I love the watching movies on the big screen and I am a Cineworld unlimited member, soI try to go to the cinema cineworld. I never seem to finish a film at home, I always find myself sidetracked!
