Welcome

Hi, I’m Maria! I’m so glad you’re here.
Yoga has been a powerful part of my own journey toward self-love, healing, and connection. Now I share that practice with others through retreats, classes, and moments of movement that go far beyond the poses.

My hope is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and free to come home to yourself.

ABOUT MARIA WADA

RYT500, E-RYT200, Nike Global Trainer

Hi, I’m happy to have you visiting my website!
I am a Japanese Yoga teacher based in LA. I had a great career being a professional dancer and had toured with Taylor Swift, Madonna, Britney Spears and more.
I had a strong goal setting mindset in my 20’s only to realize that chasing “what’s next big thing” won’t fulfill my soul.


I started practicing yoga in 2012 and yoga helped me physically and mentally. It helped me find self love and self acceptance. I don’t need to be a perfect achiever to be worthy of love.


Now this is my passion to share the practice of yoga with others. 
I spent more than 700hours of Yoga teacher training in Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin and Rocket yoga.
Inclusivity is vital to my teaching. Let’s find home to our bodies and unite with the divine.

The experience was far beyond what I could have ever imagined! It’s rare to find a teacher you can completely trust and feel safe enough with to truly let go, but Maria has that rare quality. She curated a schedule that was thoughtfully designed, with each day building on the last. The retreat wasn’t just about yoga – it was a holistic experience that gave me the opportunity to connect with myself, relax, and enjoy nature while also forging meaningful connections with fellow retreat-goers. The location itself was breathtakingly beautiful, but what truly made the experience so special was Maria’s guidance and the safe, nurturing space she created for all of us.
