I attended Maria’s Somatic 70 hour teacher training in September 2023 and it was an absolutely beautiful experience. Maria has a deep gift for both teaching and being able to hold a container for the training to unfold in a way that meets every participant where they are at. We were 13 students all coming from different backgrounds and in different phases in life and in our yoga journeys, and Maria held the space for each of us to bring to and take from the training exactly what felt authentic for each of us. The material itself is so inclusive and informed me of ways I can interact with others in a way that allows room for everyone’s unique experience. I deeply value the time I spent and the lessons I gathered in learning from Maria and my peers.

A truly transformative experience I had the absolute privilege of joining Maria’s somatic yoga teacher training last week — and I can honestly say it was one of the most meaningful learning experiences I’ve had in a long time. Maria holds space with so much clarity, depth, and heart. Her way of guiding is both grounded and intuitive — blending knowledge, presence, and deep listening in a way that feels rare. I learned more than just techniques or theory… I learned how to meet the body with compassion, how to listen below the surface, and how to trust the intelligence of sensation. This training didn’t just teach me how to guide others — it brought me closer to myself. Maria, thank you for your generosity, your wisdom, and for sharing your truth in such a powerful way. If you’re considering working with her — say yes. You’ll leave changed in all the best ways.

Maria is an amazing trainer who has abundance of unconditional love within her. Over a year ago, I joined her ‘yoga as healing modality teacher training’ which nowadays is called ‘somatic yoga teacher training’ both a 70 hours program. My experience was something I can’t describe, it was a big inner journey for me. Learning the somatics, coming back to our body really tapped the place within me that I haven’t met. Maria invited various wonderful guests teachers; we had blue lotus ceremony, breathwork class, elemental yin yang that was based on womb related dynamic and movement class that’s based on TCM principles. The food on the villa was nourishing. I craved for more of this experience so last November I joined her 70 hours ‘yin yoga teacher training’ as a part of 200 hours program. What really drawns me to Maria is the contsiner she created, it’s a space for learning with freedom and un-wounding, not to mention aesthetic. She makes learning something new so accessible and easy for all my body, mind and soul. She sees me through while we still respect each other boundaries. And last month I completed the 60 hours ‘ying yang yoga teacher training’ online program where in total….200 hours of training. I’m so so thankful also for her feedback on my Praktikum, she reminds me to stay true and authentic to my own offering in class, which really motivates me to offer liberated and braver spaces for people where every depth is welcome. I can not emphasize how I recommend truly all of Maria’s offering. Thank you Maria, so grateful for your being ✨️❤️
