About

Maura (pronounced like "Laura," but with an "M") is a lifelong athlete who discovered yoga in 2008. What began as a hesitant introduction quickly transformed into a lifelong practice and commitment to make yoga accessible to every body.

With a background in group fitness and inclusive wellness programming, Maura creates classes that are both challenging and approachable across abilities, backgrounds, and life stages. She has founded an adaptive fitness program for individuals with Down syndrome, created wellness programs for nonprofit and corporate organizations, and worked at prominent studios, making movement empowering, supportive, and community-centered for diverse populations.

When she is not in the studio, Maura advises organizations and leaders through moments of growth, change, and impact. You are most likely to find her running a trail, exploring a library, or lapping up love at a dog park with her four-legged pup Portland.
