Introduction: I am a physical therapist and yoga instructor and currently taking new clients. Together, we work to create your ideal rehabilitation, yoga or fitness training program. I have experience in designing programs with professional athletes as well as hospice patients and everything in between. I enjoy working with all levels of fitness and can help to deepen understanding of individual needs with my background in biomechanics and anatomy. I am extremely passionate about health in the form of preventative medicine, especially through diet, exercise and mindset. In my practice, I combine principles from both Eastern and Western medicine to progress my clients towards their goals and personalize their experience. I have been teaching yoga for about 9 years and my background is mostly in Iyengar, Vinyasa, Hatha and power yoga. Please reach out if you have any questions.

I recently booked a private yoga session with Malia and was extremely pleased with the session. Malia was available around my schedule, was very organized, professional and traveled to my home for my own comfort and ease. Her knowledge of the body, biomechanics and postural alignment is excellent to increase body awareness during the session. Her flow is calming, relaxing and progressive, in which she really caters her session to your preferences and needs, in addition, she found areas to challenge my practice. She was great at explaining new positions and poses I was unfamiliar with, which made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire session. I highly recommend Malia for private or group sessions!

I can't say enough good things about Malia! She is a bright young woman with knowledge far beyond her years. Her background in Iyengar yoga and her studies in physical therapy, coupled with her creative, enthusiastic nature, makes for a unique and enjoyable experience that will push you to your limit. Since I have been working with Malia I have become stronger and more flexible. Her emphasis on pelvic floor and core work has nearly eliminated my low back pain. I highly recommend Malia for all levels of yoga, and can't wait for my next private with her!

I hired Malia to run a yoga class for a women’s organization in San Diego. We had about 25 people attend the class and Malia was professional and well prepared. She has years of experience teaching yoga, and it shows! We found her class an excellent work out and she used a variety of yoga poses (some familiar, some not) that provided just the right amount of challenge. I would recommend Malia's instruction to classes large and small and will definitely hire her again for future events!

Malia is an incredible yoga instructor. She did a mommy and me class for a group of ten moms and babies. She was well prepared and the class flowed beautifully. She even offered a turn to hold each moms baby at the end of the class so we could enjoy a little savasana. The class was challenging, but not too hard. She modified for people accordingly. She is a caring and qualified instructor!
