Maya_Alapin_pictureMy classes offer yoga as a portal for connecting with our higher selves and our deeper spirit.  The intentional connection to inner light combined with opening of the physical body leads students towards the unlocking and lightening of the heart.  I work with details of alignment and meditation while always staying alive and true to the inherent fun and joy and brightness of yoga. I encourage students to be open and honest on the mat, physically and psychically, in an effort to deepen their self-knowledge in a concrete and literal way.

I know aches and pains as I embarked on my yoga path to address a frozen shoulder in 1993. I was certified by Prajna Yoga in Santa Fe in 2009, and have studied Tantric yoga with Tara Yoga in Britain, Hatha yoga with Robert Webber in Canada, and alignment-based-yoga with Tias Little and Sean Tebor in NM.  I currently apprentice with Surya Little in Santa Fe and study in both the Anusara and Iyengar traditions. I received my BA from St. John's College (Annapolis) and my MA at Oxford in the UK.
