Maja's note: Increasingly integrating the seemingly scattered parts of the self through yoga and other awareness practices, we begin to see the profound connections and interdependence everywhere we look. From the separation dream, we gradually wake up to the fact that our personal growth is both contributing to, and strongly dependent on the degree of the evolution of the collective. Whether through meditation, mindful asana practice, aware and respectful parenting, acts of self-nurture, being in service to the underprivileged, or through simple random acts of kindness, yoga truly comes alive when the context behind our actions is a desire to contribute to the elevation of consciousness of the humanity as a whole.

 

 

 

Yoga Studies:

Maja was drawn to psychology, meditation and spirituality since early childhood. As a teenager she started practicing yoga and periodically attending meditation seminars. With her first yoga teachers - Swami Nirvikalpa and Swami Bhajanananda of Satyananda Yoga tradition - Hatha and Raja yoga - she realised that yoga was a powerful tool for deepening the understanding of the self. For 15 years she studied and trained in yoga and meditation of various styles and traditions. She teaches since 2007. In the last 10 years she has been fully immersed in the field of somatics, studying and infusing her teaching with inspirations from Body Mind Centering, Feldenkreis ATM, Continuum, and other movement modalities.

She also holds a diploma in Primal Integration Psychotherapy training in Ontario, Canada.

Her university studies include:

- Bachelor degree in Economy at the Greek National University of Athens,

- Bachelor (Honours) degree in Social Sciences at the Open University of UK

- Master degree in Political Science at the Greek National University of Athens, on conflict transformation in the Balkans by non-violent means and grass-root peacebuilding

- Presently in her 2nd year of pursuing studies of Psychotherapy as a Science, at the Sigmund Freud University of Vienna
