About

I’m a New York City-based yoga teacher, 500-hour YogaWorks certified since 2008, with further training in anatomy, biomechanics, restorative yoga, yin, and sound meditation. I teach private, group, and corporate sessions. My style combines thoughtful alignment with strength, mobility, deep stretching, and breath awareness. I believe yoga should help you feel stronger and at ease with your body, with room for curiosity, humor, and a good challenge. In private sessions, I tailor everything to you, whether you want to build strength, improve balance and mobility, refine your alignment, ease everyday tension, or simply have an hour that leaves you feeling better than when you arrived. I use modifications and props to make the practice work for your body and experience level. Group and corporate classes bring the same practical, welcoming approach. My goal is for you to step off the mat relaxed, energized, and ready for the rest of your day. Estimated rates: • Private yoga: $170 per 60-minute session. • Corporate yoga: Starting at $275 per class. • Corporate meditation and sound meditation: Pricing depends on the format and duration.

I found it easy to establish a very comfortable rapport with Maria. I appreciate her professional approach to helping me improve my yoga practice. One of my goals in having private instruction is to have someone like Maria guiding,correcting and helping me improve my poses. She has been aware and understanding of my personal needs in my practice.She is a pleasure to work with her.

Maria is a very kind and thoughtful yoga instructor and a lovely human being! She is happy to customize our sessions based on my particular needs/wants that day or guide me through her own plan. She also meets me where I’m at, while gently pushing me forward. A nice balance.

Maria is a truly exceptional private yoga instructor, and I have already booked my next lesson with her. From our first phone consultation, I felt seen and heard. I am currently working through some hip mobility issues following an injury, and she immediately recommended some workarounds and modifications to improve my experience.

She didn’t waste a single moment of my time, and each and every minute of our 1 hr lesson was packed with expert yoga guidance and practical flows, perfectly attuned to the wellness goals we discussed. Maria is worth every penny! ❤️
