What Are Students Saying About This Program?

“I want to continue to learn and practice the breath work and my goal is to have it incorporated into my life just like working out. I definitely know I have more work to do to get there and there is no doubt that the past 2 months have given me a serious boost in the right direction. I absolutely love the peaceful, calm experience of the practice and know that it is helping me a lot with my anxiety and stress and overall health. It is somewhere for me to go when I feel overwhelmed or unwell in any way and grounds me and brings me back to myself, to feeling like me and who I really am”. Michelle

“I have worked with Maria for the past few months now and I am blown away by her genuine interest in teaching and her interest in my well-being as a whole. She is an outstanding professional and a very eager and positive mentor by taking her time to ensure that the right tools are being provided. She is very patient and understanding and always has your best interest at heart. I highly recommend her to anyone as she is truly a special and beautiful person inside and out !!!”. Maria P.

“Practicing breathing, movement, and meditation with Maria has impacted my life in such a positive way…I have learned to deal with acute stress and anxiety by using what I have learned and Maria’s words…it has helped get me through everything from dentist appointments, crowded theme parks, and restless sleep, and so much more words cannot express my heartfelt gratitude”. Kim

“Maria is an amazing instructor. She helped me to get through a very difficult time in my life. Her genuine nature makes you feel incredibly comfortable. I will be forever grateful to her for guidance” Giselle

“My main goal was to gain more clarity and focus during my days. As an entrepreneur I wear a lot of different hats and I would often find my energy levels lagging and being unable to focus at different times throughout the day or week, when what I really wanted was to feel energized and to know that I was supporting my body and overall wellbeing. How incredibly powerful our breath is! I now have this incredible tool inside me and there are so many different techniques I can use depending on what I need that day: feeling calm and grounded when I’m nervous or anxious, clarity for next steps, focus energy to get things done etc” Lisa

“María is amazing, I love her classes so much, she is very patient and puts so much love into teaching. The best part is, when you practice with her, you know for sure you are not going to get injured. She is all about alignment and building a practice for life. She’s one of The few who has not forgotten about the spiritual component of yoga, I’m so grateful to be her student! I’ve learned so so much from her”. Patricia
