Meet our Yoga Teacher Training Instructors.
Maria Fabiano
Maria’s passion for yoga began in the early nineties when she discovered Ashtanga yoga. At first, she was drawn to the amazing physical strength and focus it required, but with time, she realized what a difference it was making in all aspects of her life, both physical and mental. 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 3 years ago. Maria looks forward to inspiring new yoga instructors and students, and is excited to be a part of Newport Yoga!
