Thank you for stopping by! I am Maryia, the founder of Discovery Yoga. I was born and raised in Belarus, lived in Canada for a while and finally settled in Jersey in 2012. I have been practicing yoga for over 20 years, and I am excited to share my love for it with you.
I have completed my 300 hrs Yoga Teacher Training with Simon Borg-Olivier of Australia-based Yoga Synergy. I have also trained with Tara Stiles, creator of Strala Yoga, and have completed Sadie Nardini's Journey Training (Core Strength Vinyasa). My classes (and my personal yoga practise) mix and match elements from these three schools.
Finally, I am certified to teach Face Yoga with UK's leading expert Danielle Collins. My current 'adventure' (or rather, a multi-year commitment) is Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training with Tara Brach and Jack Cornfield. Stay tuned for the practice group I will be leading as part of the course!

I guide gentle flow classes with an emphasis on the "core" muscles running deep within the body. Using the breath and wave-like movements in order to enter and exit poses, this class will light you inside out leaving you energized yet relaxed.
I prefer to say "guide" rather than "teach" because every class is your very personal journey back to you. My job is to help you find the way - and then step aside and let you enjoy the experience.
The classes are very beginner friendly, with each posture built from the ground up (or rather, from the core out) step by step, slowly and safely. To me, yoga that brings lasting benefits for the whole self, including the internal organs and the 'subtle' (energetic body) , does not feel like a workout - it feels like a dance!

Face Yoga Classes
Face Yoga combines facial muscles exercises with acupressure, self massage and relaxation techniques for youthful appearance.

Face Yoga combines facial muscles exercises with acupressure, self massage and relaxation techniques for youthful appearance.
The sessions begin with a few minutes of mindfulness to help transition from the busy daily life into the self-care 'mode'. We then do a few techniques to relieve neck and shoulder tension, and to promote good posture. After this we apply some face oil and do the actual face 'workout'. No two sessions are similar, but I usually mix techniques from Danielle Collins' face yoga method with various massage moves and aim to cover all the areas of the face and neck. Occasionally we use a teaspoon or other kitchen staples, a towel and even a wine bottle cork! To finish, there is usually a relaxing head massage - peaceful sleep is guaranteed.
Classes are held virtually these days via Zoom. Message me via Facebook or WhatsApp to reserve a spot and I will share the joining details. I do not charge for these, so if you feel called to give something back please consider a donation to your favourite animal charity.
