Greetings!

 

My name is Maria, and I’m excited to share my journey with you. I have been practicing yoga since 2000 and started teaching in 2005. That same year, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts. In 2009, I became a certified yoga therapist under the guidance of Dr. Madan Bali, a well-known yoga guru in North America. I had the privilege of working closely with Dr. Bali for seven years, attending and organizing conferences, workshops, and teacher training programs. Learning from him was a privilege—he taught me lessons beyond books. Through his wisdom, I embraced the gift of being of service.

​

Before I discovered yoga, my life was overwhelming. My schedule was packed, my thoughts were scattered, and my mind was constantly racing. I felt trapped, unable to escape the chaos. I was going through life without awareness of my inner being—the guiding force that keeps us on the right path. Out of alignment, I struggled with stress, anxiety, burnout, and insomnia. I needed mental clarity, structure, and balance to find peace.

​

Yoga changed everything. It led me inward, revealing an entirely new part of myself. That place exists within all of us because it is our true essence. We are beings of love, light, and energy. Yoga opened the door to a fresh path, a new way of living. It helped me break free from limiting beliefs, let go of obligations that no longer served me, and heal emotional wounds from the inside out. I stopped resisting and started trusting. Instead of forcing things to happen, I allowed them to unfold naturally. The more I aligned with my truth, the more my relationships and surroundings transformed. Toxicity dissolved, and the right opportunities and people showed up effortlessly. There was no turning back.

​

Now, I feel called to serve and inspire others. The yoga I offer helps reduce stress, anxiety, insomnia, and burnout—challenges that are on the rise in Canada and around the world. Our thoughts about the past and future create stress, clouding our minds. I have a natural ability to create order out of chaos, helping people untangle their thoughts, find clarity, and realign with their core values. When you connect with your true self, you uncover your purpose. Clarity allows you to channel energy, tap into your power, and unleash creativity—this is where the magic happens.

​

There is no greater fulfillment than discovering your passion and sharing it with others. Giving and serving make me feel alive. My story is relatable because I have lived it. I have done the inner work—practicing yoga, meditation, introspection, solitude, and silence—and it has transformed my life. I want to help you experience the same transformation. Allow me to guide you on a healing journey of self-discovery through my yoga classes. They are a pathway to wellness, balance, and liberation. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be. Have faith in the universe’s process.

​

I am currently the host of the Yoga Passion TV show in Quebec. Join me on the mat for a soft and soothing yoga practice. And remember—when you make time for yoga, you make time for yourself.

​Many blessings.
