Please tell us about you! Where did you go to school, and your major? What do you do for fun? How did your life in fitness start?
Hi there! I'm Malia :) I grew up in a small town in California, San Luis Obispo, and have lived in Colorado, Spain and Austria this far. I started my business degree (major in Hotel, Restaurant, Tourism Management) at the University of Denver at the age of 17, took a short break in the middle for a study abroad semester in Seville, Spain, and was finished at 21. I worked in the business world until recently, when I decided to make my hobby into my business.
I began with yoga at a young age. At 15 I visited a yoga class for the first time - I wanted to be more flexible for my tennis career :-) Really. The teacher was Richard, a talented and convincing yoga teacher who to this day still teaches at the Avila Bay Club. I was in love. Then, as happens to the best of us, I lost my connection to yoga for a while. On the Isla Blanca in the Mediterranean, I found my way back and was again reminded the added quality of life which yoga offers. I began in 2016 with the yoga teacher training through the Yoga-Akadamie Austria and have been teaching since. I founded my business, Soulshine Yoga, a few years ago and offer open yoga classes weekly, as well as retreats and seminar across Europe.
I love yoga and hope to be able to join you along your yoga path!
