Originally from Massachusetts, she spent 16 years living in the mountains of Colorado teaching snowboarding and yoga after finishing college at Colorado State University. During this time, Maura completed a 200hr Kundalini Yoga training in 2005 in New Mexico, which she no longer teaches due to the criminal behavior of its founder. Soon after her experience in NM, she completed another 200hr certification in 2009 in Hatha Yoga Interdisciplinary and Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Jennifer Yarro at Frog Lotus Yoga in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. While pregnant with her first child, she became certified to teach Prenatal Yoga. Shortly after that, Maura moved back to the east coast and spent 7 years there raising her children and teaching yoga, while also taking various yoga educational workshops along the way. In April 2019, Maura moved her family of five back to the Rocky Mountains. She then completed a 20hr Restorative Yoga training with Julia Clarke of Edwards, CO, a 20hr online Yoga Anatomy training with Tiffany Cruikshank, and an online intro to Mindful, Trauma Informed yoga with Ann Bortz.

In her online classes, Maura shares with her students the sequences and tools that she's been learning and has found helpful from her Yoga Medicine teachers Tiffany Cruickshank, Rachel Land, and more. Maura uses what she's learned and experienced throughout her yoga career as a way to find balance, create strength, and relieve stress, and shares this in her classes. Her passion to teach yoga comes from the benefits that this practice has brought to her mental and physical health over the years, and she believes that yoga can be a helpful tool for self-care when done in a safe environment. Maura combines her well rounded knowledge in the various types of yoga with 18 years of teaching experience to create a personal practice that feels supportive to the demands of her life, and she teaches classes based on what she feels has been most helpful to her along the way.
