Maria’s passion for yoga began in the early nineties where she discovered Ashtanga yoga, at first, because of the amazing physical strength and focus required. With time though she realized what a difference it was making in all aspects of her life, both physical and mental. After years of practice and fed up with her stressful, fast paced job in the film industry, she opened Samadhi Yoga Centre in Port Coquitlam.
Maria’s yoga journey has taken a number of different paths. She is inspired and has trained with various local and world renowned instructors such as David Swenson, Maureen Fewer, Ana Forest, Elissa Grumusel, Dan Clement, & Jesse Enright. Her biggest passion is the development of the Tri-Cities first 200 hour yoga teacher training program which began 5 years ago.
