Welcome to A little left of centre yoga!

We believe in encouraging our attendees to engage their senses and really experience the beauty of their surroundings. Our yoga practice not only promotes flexibility but also deepens relaxation.

As Maria’s personal evolution with yoga started with classes that were awkward and (personally) patience-testing from her own physical limitations, she has a special appreciation for teaching to ability.

Maria has an innate ability to help people feel comfortable on their mats and most importantly, in their bodies.

​

In January 2016, Maria started practicing yoga at Shri Studio in Brisbane. She fell in love with yoga after many years of a detrimental “No Pain, No Gain” attitude to fitness. This attitude culminated in Maria acquiring a variety of limiting injuries. She realised that she needed to take a different approach to exercise.

The practice of yoga caused such a positive transformation to her life (physically and mentally), she continued to advance her skills and learn to become a yoga instructor and improve her knowledge and mental health by continued study as follows:

• 2018 complete Shri's 200 hour Yoga Teacher training, as well as the Lizzie Lasater restorative week long Yoga workshop

• 2019 attended the Shri Teacher Training Retreat in Bali and the Teacher Refresher Workshop in November 2019.

• 2020 further expansion of her yoga knowledge was acquired with 150 hours of advanced teacher training.

• 2021 completed The Mental Health Yoga Teacher Training with Dr Lauren Tober.

• 2022 Maria added a Mental Health First Aid Certificate into her yoga resume.

• 2024 Yoga for Nervous System Regulation with Dr Lauren Tober and Chair Yoga Training.
