I attended Maria’s Yoga as a Healing Modality 70 hour teacher training in September 2023 and it was an absolutely beautiful experience. Maria has a deep gift for both teaching and being able to hold a container for the training to unfold in a way that meets every participant where they are at. We were 13 students all coming from different backgrounds and in different phases in life and in our yoga journeys, and Maria held the space for each of us to bring to and take from the training exactly what felt authentic for each of us. The material itself is so inclusive and informed me of ways I can interact with others in a way that allows room for everyone’s unique experience. I deeply value the time I spent and the lessons I gathered in learning from Maria and my peers.

The Yoga Teacher Training “Yoga as a Healing Modality” was very inspiring and eye-opening for me. I really liked the content about our nervous system as well as Maria’s way of teaching and leading the training. I also enjoyed very much the guest teachers for specific topics. This was very refreshing and I could take with me some exercises and tools for myself and also my work.

Even though I don’t work as a yoga teacher, the new insights were very enriching for me personally and also very helpful for my work as a coach and mentor for women.

I would recommend this training to everyone! Especially to anyone who teaches yoga or mentors people.

It is fundamental for me to be aware of our nervous system, possible traumas and our body when working with people. Especially in all the mental and spiritual work we can see around, bringing some „down to earth“ topics was really enriching.

Thank you Maria for the beautiful week in Mallorca!
I can really recommend the training.

Maria has a deep knowledge and a competence that has grown tangibly from her own experiences – which she teaches with dedication and passion in practice as well as theory.
I got answers to questions that had been burning on my heart for many years, thanks to her clear view of things and her down-to-earth approach.
I felt seen and understood and found the trauma-sensitive yoga sessions incredibly valuable.
I experienced and learned more than I could have imagined or wished for in one week.

Thank you for this enriching and nurturing experience!

I completed the 70h training “Yoga as a healing modality” in March.

Maria is a great teacher, sharing her knowledge and passion. Having a 200H TTC, I joined to deepen my knowledge in restorative/yin/healing and to know more about the regulation of the nervous system.

It opened new perspective to me, discovering the power of chanting and dancing, learning about traumas and also sharing opinions with others.

All the women of the group were very unique and the whole week gave us space to share, to be ourself and to grow. It felt really special and the Shala makes us feel we are in a bubble. After this week, I didnt only got more knowledge but I also healed a part of myself. I am grateful to have joined this training with Maria and be part of this lovely group. I can only recommend !

I can say from the bottom of my heart that this training exceeded my hopes and expectations. The location, the group (13 people, from Australia to Ireland, USA, Denmark, Switzerland, Indonesia and Germany – it was a colorful mix of awesome souls), the daily schedule, the content of the lectures, the knowledge transmitted, the style in which we learned, the accommodation, the organization…. everything was great! I enjoyed this community of people and Maria’s orchestration throughout the week very much. 

I would totally recommend this training for yoga teachers but also for interested yogi*nis who would simply like to dive into the topic of our human posibility to build resilience and response to stress and also traumatic events. It is a very good training to find balance in ones own life.

Maria herself is a lovely host, helpful, friendly, easy going, with lots of experience and had so many cool and skilled Co-Teachers up her sleeve who would teach different topics such as breathwork, mobility, etc. This made the training very colourful and wholesome.

I had the most beautiful experience completed the ‘Yoga as a healing modality’ with Maria.

Everything about this training was amazing! My favourite thing about the week was the environment which was created, it was a safe and welcoming space. I found this experience extremely enriching, and the knowledge I gained will not only help me as a teacher but also for my own personal growth. The food and accommodation was also incredible.

I could not recommend this training more! I am extremely grateful for this transformative and beautiful experience.
Thank you!
