Maya Lin
Teaching Philosophy
"Yoga is not about touching your toes; it's about what you learn on the way down. I believe in adapting the practice to fit the individual body, rather than forcing the body to conform to rigid shapes. My goal is to guide students back home to themselves."

My Journey

After experiencing severe physical and mental burnout from a decade in the high-pressure corporate tech world, Maya turned to yoga seeking relief for chronic back pain. What started as a physical necessity quickly became a profound life transformation. She left her career to immerse herself in an intensive 3-year study period in Rishikesh, India, learning from traditional masters. She returned with a clear mission: to demystify yoga and make high-quality, safe, and empowering yoga education available to absolutely everyone, regardless of their starting point.
