Maria Naisbitt

Maria discovered yoga over 10 years ago in the midst of working in the fast- paced travel and hospitality industry, and quickly realized that her yoga practice was and still is the biggest gift she could have ever given herself. Working through challenging poses on her mat, she found an inner peace and serenity that grounded and uplifted her. Taking these lessons into the real world, she started to apply them into her daily life. It didn’t take her long to realize that one day she would share her joy and new sense of balanced calmness with all those around her.

After moving to Los Angeles in 2003 from San Francisco, she continued her practice and studies with the Yoga Works School, completing the 500 Hour Teacher Training in 2008, and currently teaches group classes at the RakSa Studio in Culver City and the YMCA in Santa Monica. Her classes offer a blend of mindful flow and gentler restorative poses. While focusing on fundamental body alignment, she emphasizes finding a graceful flow between the union of movement and breath, striving to guide students inward to their own discovery of self in a light- hearted and nurturing environment.
