Embodying twenty-seven years of living and exploring yoga in its many forms, Maritza brings
the gift of Inspiration with a rare wealth of experience to her teaching. Originally from France,
she trained and worked professionally as a young actress in Paris, and later in New York, alongside
renowned artists before heeding a profound calling in 1981 that sent her on a life-changing journey to
India... and subsequently led her to dedicate her life to metaphysical studies.
A modern-day-mystic, truth seeker, rogue adventurer and consummate learner, she has traveled
extensively and trained intensively for two decades in Asia, Europe and the US. She was certified
in Iyengar Yoga in 1989 and in Anusara Yoga in 2000 while her core practice has remained steadily
anchored in Vipassana-body-based meditation since 1981.
Today, Maritza's richly textured and eloquent presentation is rooted in the sound knowledge she
acquired from years of masterly yogic studies and discerning psychological inquiry, while deeply
reflecting her own artistic soul and intuitive journey of growth, life-healing and transformation
into Spirit and Grace.
A teacher's teacher, she has been conducting notorious Advanced Studies in the Bay Area, including a
popular 3-month Intensive Training here at the YOGASTUDIO every Fall since 1999. She is the
award winning creator of a beautiful home practice best-seller DVD produced by Gaiam.
