About me

My name is Maria Simak.

I am a certified yoga teacher (500YTT), Ayurvedic practitioner, and a lifelong seeker of balance between structure and soul. My journey began not in a yoga studio, but in the high-paced world of international business and audit, where I still work today as a corporate director.


My name is Maria Simak.


I am a certified yoga teacher (500YTT), Ayurvedic practitioner, and a lifelong seeker of balance between structure and soul. My journey began not in a yoga studio, but in the high-paced world of international business and audit, where I still work today as a corporate director.


Despite building a successful career, I always felt a deeper calling toward healing, presence, and embodiment. That calling led me to India, where I immersed myself in traditional yoga and Ayurvedic studies, lived simply, and reconnected with the wisdom of the body and breath.

Long before discovering yoga, I spent ten years practicing Kung Fu, a discipline that taught me focus, resilience, and the profound connection between body and mind. For the past 15 years, yoga has been a central part of my life, and for the last five, I’ve had the privilege of teaching and guiding others on their own journeys.

In addition to my yoga path, I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology and am currently studying alternative medicine in Germany as a Heilpraktikerin. This allows me to bridge ancient wisdom with scientific foundations and offer a truly holistic approach to well-being.

Today, I live what I teach: I balance a demanding professional life with daily practices that keep me grounded, strong, and present. I believe that yoga and Ayurveda are not only for retreats or slow-paced lives; they are powerful tools for anyone navigating stress, responsibility, or leadership, whether you're in a boardroom, raising children, or building something big.

Through my classes, consultations, and content, I help others integrate ancient practices into their modern reality, so they can feel strong, clear, and connected, no matter how full their life is.

Everything is possible with Maria

I still can’t believe I did a headstand. I thought it was impossible for someone like me. Maria guided us step by step with so much care and presence. It was the first time in my life I felt confident trying an advanced pose! And I did it!

A relaxing rooftop yoga experience

Maria’s sunrise rooftop class was something I’ll never forget. The group was small, the rooftop was peaceful, and as the sun began to rise, it felt like the beginning of everything new—inside and out. Her guidance was gentle and grounding, and the atmosphere was pure magic. We shared some delicious tea afterwards, and the whole experience left me deeply calm, inspired, and full of hope. I truly wish these classes would happen more often.

Attentive and supportive teacher

I joined Maria’s online class thinking no one would even notice me, but she saw everything! She gently corrected my posture, even through the screen. I felt seen, safe, and completely supported.

Amazing experience

Maria is the first yoga teacher who made me truly understand how to move through Sun Salutations. Her alignment cues are so clear and detailed, and she always makes sure we’re doing it safely.
