  • Testimonials

    "Maria's patience and commitment to individual help has been a source of healing and has enabled me to take on life's physical and mental challenges. In her yoga class, rather than using the body to get into the poses, we use the poses to get into the body - and ultimately into consciousness."

  • Testimonials

     “If you have the chance for a deep dive with Maria, do it. I would practice with Maria in her Port Moody yoga classes years ago. There was this energy and intention that you could feel as soon as you walked into the studio; you knew you were about to experience something special. I love how the universe brought us together recently as she embraced a calling to continue to evolve and expand her calling as a true healer."
