The Heart and Soul of Mauktika Yoga 

Hi! I am Maggie and I created Mauktika Yoga fitness to provide an accessible community space for wellbeing. Mauktika means “Pearl” in sanskrit - also the latin meaning of Margarita, my given name. It is super important to me that Mauktika Studio and all of the classes offered here are full of meaningful connection and community. 

​

My  life has always been enriched through movement. From Ballet classes as a young girl, to competitive dancing later on, it continues to be a part of my daily self-care practice. As a frequent participant in group fitness, yoga and dance classess, moving keeps me in balance providing me inner strength, confidence and resilience particularly at key points in my life- such as moving countries, major career transitions, healing from injuries and becoming a mother. 

After watching people around me struggle to adapt to changes both physically and emotionally, I completed her 200 hour yoga certification and my Zumba teacher training in an effort to finally be able to share my passion with others. 

I draw inspiration from my experience as a multi- disciplinary dancer as well as my educational training in psychology, philosophy and human development. My classes are full of humour, connection and exploration of the capacities of the human body. 

I wholeheartedly believe that movement the key for healing and re-generation and is truly for everyone and for every body! 

I am a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance as well as a certified Zumba instructor
