MAHARA'S STUDIES
Seeker of truth and love
After building up and managing her own Yoga studio "2nd Floor Yoga" for 2 years in New Zealand,
Mahara realized that she was wasting all her energy towards marketing and managing her studio instead of doing what she really wanted to do, which was helping others to help themselves with Tantric & Shamanic Arts, Mindfulness and Meditation, Body Work, Yoga Therapy, Authentic Movement and Dance.
In 2017 she decided to sell everything in New Zealand and combine her two biggest passions;
Traveling & Facilitating Workshops, Trainings and Retreats around the globe.
2022 was her breakthrough. Every class, workshop and training was full.

With every passing moment in every chapter of life comes a world of lessons and knowledge.
