Maria Wada

Hi! I’m Maria Wada! A yoga and meditation teacher from Japan, movement lover, and former professional dancer based in Los Angeles. I spent over a decade performing with artists like Madonna, Britney Spears, and Taylor Swift, before yoga became my path back home to myself. Since completing my 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2018, I’ve continued to deepen my studies with a 300 hour advanced Vinyasa training in Goa, India, as well as additional training in Rocket and Yin yoga. I’ve studied with Punu Wasu for his 200 hour active consciousness meditation teacher training. Inclusivity is at the heart of everything I teach. In my classes, we move with intention, honor our own experience, and make space for everyone to feel welcome. I gently weave in yogic philosophy to offer simple tools for easing suffering and reconnecting with inner wisdom, both on and off the mat!
