Maria Caballero
Instructor
I am Maria, a certified Yoga teacher based in North London. I have done my Vinyasa training at Awakening Yoga Academy with Patrick Beach and Carling Nicole.
My Vinyasa teaching style is built on the foundation of ritual asana with a focus on functional movement and individualised alignment and based on the principles of Awakening Yoga.
Awakening Yoga is the style of yoga created by my teachers Patrick Beach and Carling Harps. By acknowledging that each body is unique, powerful, and purposeful, this practice provides room for students to better understand their own physicality.
Building confidence from the foundation allows my students to progress safely at their own pace; understanding the foundation of the poses creates room for individual progression paths; having awareness of their own body proportions and physicality will result in a healthy and long-term sustainable practice.
Classes include physical practise, breathing techniques and pranayama and some might lead us to a calm meditation.
My focus is to create a safe space for a practice that fits my students and not expecting my students having to fit to the practice.
The classes I teach are Vinyasa style and Mellow Flows – I like to teach creative sequences, exploring movements and different transitions. I have also experience teaching Calming yoga – a mix of restorative and Yin evening classes focused on un-winding – and Restorative, as I have done Restorative training.
