ABOUT ME

I am Maya, a Yoga Teacher from Brazil with Portuguese background who is passionate about nature, arts, dance, music, travel, and yoga.

​

Yoga Om Maya was an idea developed along my trajectory in the yoga world. My first contact with yoga was over 10 years ago in Australia, where I found a way to evolve spiritually, get to know myself better, and work on my physical and mental body.

​

I spent many years living in Australia and then decided to move to Portugal, my grandfather's home country. As I got to know more about the country and its beautiful beaches, villages, architecture, and so on, I completely fell in love!

​

After living in Lisbon for many years, I moved to a seaside community on the western coast of Portugal called Ericeira. It is a beautiful place full of beaches and walking trails, and it is considered to be the surfing capital of Europe. Since the first day that I moved to Ericeira, I have felt completely at home.

​

From here, I started to feel a big need to increase my knowledge of yoga and take my practice to the next level. That is when I decided to take an International Yoga Teacher Training Course (YTT 200hrs) from an Indian school, where I learned much more than I could ever imagine.

Right now, my goal is to share all my knowledge with care, love, and respect, so people from everywhere in the world can learn more about yoga and enjoy all the benefits of it.
