Kia ora 💛

I’m Maia – a lifelong yoga lover, community-minded creative, and someone who believes in the quiet power of gentle movement and mindful connection.

After over 20 years of personal practice, yoga has become my anchor – a source of healing, strength, and peace. Now, I feel called to give back and share what I’ve learned through Gentle Yoga for Everyone – community classes designed to be welcoming, grounding, and accessible for all.

These sessions are a little more than yoga – together, we explore gentle movement, breathing techniques, meditation, self-reflection, and simple exercises to support mobility, blood flow, and lymphatic health. It’s a space to slow down, tune in, and care for your whole self.

Classes are koha-based. Every contribution helps me on my journey toward becoming a qualified yoga teacher, and I’m so grateful for your support 🙏

You can join me on the Facebook page Belfast Community Yoga to stay updated and connected.

With aroha and deep gratitude,
Maia
