About me
Hello and welcome to Discovery Yoga! My name is Maryia, and I’m thrilled to share a little about myself with you. While my “day job” is in banking, my true passions lie in yoga and facial techniques, which have been my sanctuaries throughout my life.
Background
Originally from Belarus, I have spent most of my adult life in Canada and Jersey. With over 20 years of personal yoga practice and 5 years of teaching experience, I am deeply committed to nurturing holistic well-being through Yoga Synergy, a transformative practice that blends traditional yoga, chi gong, and dance.
Qualifications
In 2018-19, I completed my original 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) with Simon Borg-Olivier of Yoga Synergy in Bali, and I have continued my studies with him as part of his online teachers’ community. Additionally, I am a certified face yoga trainer, having qualified with Danielle Collins in 2018, and a Guasha trainer, having trained with Katie Blake in 2022. As a perpetual learner, I am constantly pursuing new certifications to enhance my expertise, including completing a comprehensive 6-month massage training at the Split Massage Institute in 2022.
Passions
My journey with face yoga began at the age of 19, following corrective surgeries after a dog bite, and it has since become an integral part of my holistic well-being philosophy. I find great joy in sharing my knowledge and empowering others through face yoga and rejuvenating face lifting massages.
Beyond yoga and facial techniques, my Instagram account reflects my passions for my two adorable cats, Murzik and Meeshka, as well as my commitment to healthy, sustainable living. You’ll find a mix of content, including easy plant-based recipes for busy individuals, skincare tips, and styling outfits from second-hand clothing.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me. I am truly dedicated to helping you embrace your unique beauty and live life to the fullest through yoga and holistic well-being practices.
