Maureen first discovered yoga several years ago while healing from a back injury. As a former professional dancer, she was drawn toward the strong graceful movement of a vinyasa flow practice. In 2008, she decided to enroll in a 200-hour teacher training program with YogaWorks, where she discovered there was a lot more to yoga than she had previously thought. After “dabbling” in yoga teaching for a few years, she decided to make more of a commitment to her teaching, as well as her practice. Maureen graduated from YogaWorks 300-hour professional program in 2013, after a 6-month mentorship with Jesse Schein, and has been teaching regularly ever since; both with YogaWorks and other small studios and gyms in the San Fernando Valley. She is thrilled to get to know Christine's new and long-time students, and to teach at Prema Yoga's brand new space. Maureen teaches a very precise, alignment-based class, and loves to link breath with movement. Expect to challenge yourself, breathe deeply, and most importantly, to have fun! See you on the mat!
