Yoga with Maite

Conscious alignment. Strong spine. More calm in daily life.

Portrait of Maite Piris

My personal history

I was born in Buenos Aires and, after studying sociology, lived in Madrid, Barcelona and London before coming to Regensburg in 2011. Yoga has been part of my life since 2005.

Through my own scoliosis, I learnt early on how important a conscious, mindful approach to the body is. Through yoga I learnt to change my posture, understand my body better and support my spine through strengthening, stretching and conscious alignment. That is why the therapeutic and preventive aspects of yoga are of particular interest to me.

My Hatha Yoga classes are based on the principles of B. K. S. Iyengar. Exercises are built up consciously and precisely, so that technique, breath flow and body awareness come together. I guide my students with clear instructions, great attentiveness and the desire to make yoga accessible to everyone.

For me, yoga is a gift. And that gift is exactly what I want to pass on in my teaching.
