Maria K. Sakaria
Maria has been practicing yoga since early 2000 and has been teaching for the past 6 years while witnessing the benefits of her practice grow both on and off the mat.
She trained with Tranquil Space in Dupont Circle where she received a RYT 200 and 500RYT as well as a condensed Prenatal training with Anne Thiel. She later went on to complete her PRYT85 (Prenatal) certification in the Virginia area. She has accomplished an ERYT designation and specializes in Prenatal Yoga as well as Vinyasa Flow Yoga.
She has offered a variety of Preparing for Birth Partner Workshops as well as Baby & Me classes and is always looking to support expectant parents and their little one. Maria is a Professional Doula and she uses her knowledge and experience to answer questions of parents to be whether related to fertility, pregnancy or the postpartum period.
Finally, she holds a degree in Therapeutic Massage as a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) specializing in Trigger Point Therapy and Prenatal Massage.
In all of her classes she brings compassion, a nurturing touch and attention to proper alignment in her teaching and assisting. Finally, through her education and experience, Maria's mission and goal are to educate expectant mothers and to help them feel confident during their pregnancy as well as empowered to advocate for themselves.
