Offerings
I'm here to help you develop your capacity to experience and harness your life force with less resistance and more harmony.
Group Classes
I guide wellness practitioners and wholehearted seekers from diverse populations and environments, locally in Portland Oregon as well as online. I also offer to corporate, college and private groups, both movement-based classes and yoga philosophy group gatherings. Movement based class styles include Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Restore, and Adaptive Yoga. I integrate mindfulness, breath, movement, and meditation within the framework of yogic wisdom teachings, ayurveda, modern neuroscience, and adjacent healing modalities. My inspiration is often drawn from nature as well as past and present inspirational thought leaders and artists.

Testimony
“I have been having yoga therapy with Maya for about 12 weeks now and I have found the sessions really helpful in a number of ways. I have learned exercises, stretches, breathing techniques and positions (like Waterfall) that I find calming, stress releasing and that lift my energy levels (and that I use outside the sessions also). I am developing an awareness of where I feel things in my body and how things show up for me, learning how I can manage some symptoms with breath and movement. My attitude to my body is also changing to be kinder and more grateful for all the things my body does for me. Even my husband has commented that I always seem to be in a better mood after this hour! Maya herself is always very calm, approaching each session with openness and gentle kindness.” - Jane L
