Maria began teaching with SWY in April of 2018. She loves teaching with Small World Yoga because she enjoys being able to spread yoga to people who may have never had the opportunity to practice yoga otherwise. She loves teaching a class and seeing the same people come back to it because yoga has now become something they really enjoy. It has become part of their routine. It has been awesome to teach adults and children yoga and mindfulness strategies they can use not only during the yoga class but throughout their days.

Maria teaches a free outreach class at the SafeHaven Family Shelter.
