Maria first qualified with the Iyengar family, before she found her true path in the Ashtanga yoga of the late Pattabhi Jois who personally authorised her teaching. After establishing, owning and running, one of Sweden’s best yoga schools for ten years, Maria recently opted for the open road and the opportunity to teach retreats in beautiful locations while nurturing her practice and encouraging others.  Her ability to make yoga philosophy accessible and relevant is truly inspiring. Maria is a joy to be around and her succulent words will motivate you to engage with yoga and have your practice blooming.

Maria will be teaching the mysore classes together with Susanna both mornings and afternoons with focus on the traditional Mysore practice with attention to breathing. Maria’s knowledge and skill as a teacher means individual attention for everyone, creating a comfortable and safe practice.

Elena De Martin mødte Astanga yoga nærmest ved et tilfælde sidst i 90'erne og hendes ønske om at vide mere om denne disciplin bragte hende til en retræte med Lino Miele, en lærer som er uddannet af Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. I 2000 og 2001 rejste hun til Indien, først til Kovalam, og derefter til Mysore for at studere hos Sri K. Pattabhi Jois.

Hun tilbragte sommerne i 2005 og 06 i Mysore og fik undervisning af Sri K. Pattabhi Jois og hans barnebarn Sharath Rangaswamy - en oplevelse, som hun gentog med stor entusiasme i 2007, hvor hun besluttede sig for at tilbringe et helt år i Mysore med sin søn og fordybe sig i yogaen og forfølge denne sti af viden.

Ved siden af sit studie af Astanga, har Elena siden 2001 Elena deltaget i Vipassana meditation efter S.N. Goenkas lære, hvilket har været en stor hjælp til at styrke opmærksomheden i hendes praksis.
