Maria Buchsbaum

Maria-head-shot

Maria began practicing yoga 15 years ago as a way to gently get back into shape after injuries and time away from physical activity. In yoga, she found a way to manage stress and deal with chronic back problems. Approximately 5 years ago, Maria began to deepen her practice, through increased dedication to asana practice and  attention to the philosophical, psychological and ethical aspects of yoga.

In 2009, Maria completed her 200 hour training with Kristin Cooper Gulak of the Wilmington Yoga Center and is currently working toward her 500 hr certification. In keeping with the service philosophy of Kristen’s training, Maria has taught yoga to victims of domestic violence, provided workshops to foster parents and their foster children, provided yoga as part of corporate wellness programs and to school teachers.

She teaches basic classes, vinyasa flow classes, yin and long, slow deep classes. In addition to her training with Kristen Cooper Gulak, she values the teaching she has gained from Johnna Smith, Stephanie Keach, Kathryn Budig and many others.
