About Maya

EVERY BODY.
EVERY PRACTICE.

The most common thing I hear from people who have never tried yoga is that they are not flexible enough to start. Which is, respectfully, like saying you are too unfit to go to the gym. Flexibility is what you develop through practice — it is not what you need before you begin.

Yoga is one of the most inclusive and adaptable physical practices available to anyone. It builds genuine strength, develops real mobility, improves the quality of movement in everything else you do, and — for many people — offers something that purely physical training cannot: a way of being present in the body. That last part is not mystical. It is simply what happens when breath and movement are brought together with attention.

I have been practising and teaching yoga for over a decade. My approach is grounded in anatomy, progressive movement principles, and the understanding that every body is different — what is available to one person on the mat is not available to another, and that is perfectly fine. The practice meets you where you are.

Whether you are coming to yoga for the first time, returning after a break, or looking to deepen an existing practice — there is something here for you.

The Programme

MAYA'S PROGRAMME

Three tiers of progressive yoga and mobility work — from foundational poses and everyday mobility through to advanced flexibility, inversions, and a lifelong practice. Accessible to all starting points.

01
Never tried yoga, or tried it once and felt completely lost? The beginner tier starts from the very beginning — fundamental poses, alignment, breathing, and your first flows. No flexibility required to start. No prior experience assumed. Just a mat, a willingness to move, and an open mind.
01

YOGA FOUNDATIONS

The fundamental poses, alignment principles, and breathing techniques that form the basis of every yoga practice. Every more advanced posture is built on these foundations — understanding them from the start makes everything that follows more accessible, more effective, and significantly safer.

02

YOUR FIRST FLOW

Connecting individual poses into flowing sequences for the first time. Sun salutations, basic vinyasa flows, and the rhythm of breath-led movement — this playlist helps you find the continuity and meditative quality of practice, not just the physical shape of individual poses.

03

MOBILITY FOR EVERYDAY LIFE

Targeted mobility work for the areas most people struggle with — hips, thoracic spine, hamstrings, and shoulders. These sequences work as standalone routines or as a complement to any other training. You do not need to be a yoga practitioner to benefit significantly from this playlist.

02
You have a foundation in place and are practising with some regularity. The intermediate tier develops the strength elements of yoga that are often overlooked, progresses flexibility work beyond the basics, and introduces the slower restorative practices that complement active training as much as they complement yoga itself.
01

BUILDING STRENGTH IN YOGA

Yoga builds real, functional strength — but only when approached with that intention. This playlist develops the strength dimension of practice: arm balances, standing balances, core engagement, and the loaded positions that make yoga genuinely demanding. The flexibility and the strength are not separate things — they develop together.

02

DEEPENING FLEXIBILITY

Progressive flexibility work that moves beyond the foundations. Hip openers, backbends, forward folds, and shoulder mobility — each explored with an understanding of what the body needs to release and how to progress safely over time. Patience is genuinely part of this work. The body adapts on its own timeline.

03

RESTORATIVE & RECOVERY PRACTICES

Yin yoga, restorative sequences, and the slower, longer-held practices that work at a different level to active training. Whether used as recovery between hard sessions or as a standalone practice, these sequences develop the parasympathetic nervous system, support connective tissue health, and offer something quietly distinct from every other playlist here.

03
Your practice is established and you are ready to explore its more demanding dimensions. The advanced tier develops arm balances and inversions, progresses deep flexibility and mobility work, and addresses the long-term structuring of a sustainable practice — one that continues to grow for years and decades, not just months.
01

ARM BALANCES & INVERSIONS

Crow, side crow, headstand, forearm stand, and the structured progressions that lead safely to each. The specific combination of strength, balance, and technique required for these iconic poses — developed patiently, in the right order, without rushing the body into positions it is not yet ready for.

02

ADVANCED FLEXIBILITY & DEEP MOBILITY

Full splits, deep backbends, and the advanced flexibility work that takes consistent years to develop. This playlist is built around the understanding that the deepest flexibility gains are slow, cumulative, and non-linear — and that the approach you take matters as much as the time you put in.

03

LONG-TERM PRACTICE DEVELOPMENT

How to structure a yoga practice that sustains and deepens across years. Managing the balance between effort and ease, navigating plateaus, avoiding the common patterns that cause practitioners to stagnate or step away — and the broader philosophy of practice that keeps people returning to the mat, for life.

Fuelling Your Training

NOURISH YOUR
PRACTICE

Yoga is, at its core, a practice of listening to your body. Your nutrition can support that same intention — eating in a way that nourishes your movement, sustains your energy across sessions, and supports the joints and connective tissue that consistent practice places real demands on over time.

EAT TO SUPPORT MOVEMENT

A yoga practice — particularly one that includes strength, balance, and advanced flexibility work — requires sufficient fuel. Arriving on the mat well-nourished means better energy, sharper focus, and a body that is genuinely available for the demands of practice. Under-eating affects the quality of your movement, your ability to hold challenging poses, and your recovery between sessions. Eating enough to support your practice is straightforward — and important.

FOODS THAT SUPPORT JOINT HEALTH

Yoga places consistent demands on joints and connective tissue across a lifetime of practice. Including foods with anti-inflammatory properties — oily fish, nuts and seeds, colourful vegetables, olive oil, and ginger — actively supports joint health and the quality of connective tissue over time. This is not a special diet. It is eating well with an awareness of what your practice specifically asks of your body.

PROTEIN FOR CONNECTIVE TISSUE

Flexibility and mobility work places demands not just on muscles but on tendons, ligaments, and fascia — collectively known as connective tissue. Adequate protein intake supports collagen synthesis, which is the structural basis of healthy connective tissue. Including a quality protein source with most meals — alongside good vitamin C intake, which assists collagen production — supports the tissues that your flexibility practice most directly works with.

MINDFUL EATING

The awareness you bring to the mat is worth bringing to the table. Eating with attention — noticing hunger and fullness, choosing foods that genuinely make you feel well, eating without distraction — is an extension of the same practice. There are no rigid rules here, no forbidden foods, and no calorie counting required. Just the same quality of presence that yoga asks of every other part of your life. Simple, nourishing, and sustainable.
