Teacher Details

Maz trained at the Sivananda Vedanta Centre in London. This included all aspects of the yogic tradition: philosophy; nutrition; meditation; pranayama (breathing) and asana (postures).
Maz believes that yoga is for everyone and ensures her yoga instruction brings a full range of benefits to people of all ages and of any level of fitness. And that it is fun too!
“I understand the stresses and strains that work and family life can have, often leaving people tired, unfocussed and out-of-sorts. Having experienced myself the power of yoga to re-balance the mind and body, I know this can have a positive effect on people’s lives. ”
Background:
Having sought professional help, with varying results, for hip misalignment and backache due to a bike accident a few years before, Maz decided to take the advice of a friend and go to yoga classes.
Maz studied dance when she was much younger so she appreciated the aspects of yoga that provided poise and balance, as well as stretching and strengthening the body. However, she was pleasantly surprised to experience the calming and soothing effect it had on the emotions too.
At this time Maz was working in the corporate world so did not always keep up her yoga practice due to pressure of work. But during her divorce she took to it again for its healing effects, remembering how effective it had been previously. After that, especially at times of stress it became her support system. She was hooked!
Maz continued with her own yoga practice and ultimately decided to train to become a yoga instructor. “Having realised the benefits of yoga for myself I was inspired to teach so that I could pass on that benefit to others.”
