Our Founder - Maureen
Meet Maureen
Maureen, the founder of Mangala Yoga, leads a dynamic life beyond the studio, embracing moments with her family and traveling extensively between New Jersey, Hawaii, and Colorado. Amidst these pursuits, she dedicates herself to crafting innovative trainings and programs.
Maureen has practiced and studied a variety of yoga styles, such as Anusara, Iyengar, Power Vinyasa, Yin, and Restorative Yoga, but her primary focus is on Vinyasa Flow.
Maureen’s background in massage, anatomy, and kinesiology has helped her develop Mangala Yoga’s teacher-training programs, workshops, and intensives.
Maureen completed her 500-hour Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training under the guidance of Janet Stone in San Francisco, CA, where Christopher Wallis, aka "Hareesh," shared profound teachings of Tantric Philosophy. This experience fueled Maureen's curiosity, prompting her to further explore tantric philosophy through continued study with Hareesh in the Bay Area.
Certified as an E-RYT 500 and YACEP teacher, Maureen is renowned for infusing humor into her teaching style, presenting well-balanced intelligent sequences set to lively music. As a teacher trainer, she seamlessly integrates various subjects, leaving students inspired and eager for more knowledge.
