Maya Fernandez

Hi! I'm Maya, a 28 year old yogini that currently lives in Ocean City, MD. My passions include being upside down, exercising, traveling, cooking, and entrepreneur-ing. I began practicing yoga in 2010 as a counter pose to my bodybuilding hobby. Constantly tearing the muscles and building a physique can wear the body out! I learned that yoga not only helped my body recover and become more flexible, but it helped with stress and being mindful. Upon graduating college I moved to Madrid and began a Master's program in business. From there, I moved to Tel Aviv and worked at a marketing company. I relocated to the U.S. in 2015 and have lived in Denver, St. Louis, and now Ocean City, MD. As you can see, I like to move around and experience new places and people. When I have time just for me, I love to take my dogs hiking and explore nature. You can find me practicing yoga daily and making self-care a priority. I enjoy reading, listening to reggaeton, working out, and really just taking time to be present and in the moment. I try to travel a few times a year - and I will be spending some time in Italy in the coming month. I especially enjoy traveling to Spanish-speaking countries because I get to use my own Spanish! I've been self-employed for four years and most recently I am refocusing my time and attention on building a yoga business. I can't wait to give to others what my yoga practice has given me, and I think that this opportunity could do just that.
