Yoga with Maya

I am a community yoga teacher based in the Bay Area. I am currently directing Community Yoga Project, which seeks to increase access to the practice of yoga by holding classes at various social justice organizations in the East Bay Area. The intention of this blog is to share wellness, yoga and health resources and inspiration.
