Yoga is a solid thread in my life. My work in the entertainment world is busy and demanding. To stay physically healthy, I started practicing yoga around age 25. The inner balance I began to experience kept me coming back to the practice. I practiced yoga in different parts of the world; from India to the United States, Russia and Europe. In this way I gathered little bits of knowledge from different traditions, each time coming back to the realization that yoga is more than just the physical practice of asanas (postures).
I obtained my certification at Svaha Yoga in Amsterdam and with Kamini Desai in the I AM Yoga Nidra™ method in 2020. In this way I have found depth not only in technique and alignment, but also in yoga philosophy, which is very much alive and present in our daily lives. To read more about Maria: www.lekaelab.com.
