About me
Mama, teacher, speaker, and spirit junkie, Maria Salvatore has been teaching yoga and meditation for over two decades and has been studying with master yoga teachers since 1999. Maria offers movement and meditation as a way to approach our world with realistic reverence and gratitude. Her classes are a masterful, candid blend of artful alignment and attention cues for your body, mind and heart. From local yoga studios to the beautiful lawn at Central Park, Maria is honored to offer larger-scale experiences of yoga and meditation, but her true service is in shifting awareness within the smallest interactions, one person at a time. In addition to virtual classes, Maria teaches weekly and monthly classes in New Jersey and New York and offers retreats, workshops and trainings. Maria serves on two boards- the Advisory board for the "Graf Center for Integrative Medicine at Englewood Hospital, as well as the Executive board for "Kula for Karma", a nonprofit organization that brings therapeutic yoga to populations struggling with trauma and addiction." She most recently worked with Mt. Sinai Hospital in NYC creating a free resource (www.cardyfit.com) using yoga to help in healing for cardiovascular patients.
In addition to her yoga practice and philanthropic work, Maria is also a certified Usui Reiki Level II Practitioner. As well as a YACEP, which is a Yoga Alliance designation for individuals who teach continuing education courses, mentoring & certifying teachers. She has most recently added sound healing as a modality for healing in her offerings. “Her primary intention is to help people realize they have the power to heal themselves.”
