What others say about us:
I value the feeling of mental and energetic homecoming, the perfected adjustments, the consistent schedule and the clear instructions.
I really love the personal guidance and attention of the Mysore class. In my crazy busy life this shala brings me peace and quietness and gives me space to really be aware of my body and how it feels in my own pace. Maxi and her assisting teachers make a great team, love this place and glad I found it.
The personal attention and input I receive for my practice, even when practicing in bigger groups is extraordinary.
Hi from Maxi, founder of Bhumi Yoga
Hi, I’m Maxi! For more than 20 years, I’ve studied and practised ashtanga and restorative yoga, breath work, Ayurveda, mindfulness and meditation with some of the greatest living masters. I’ve paired this work with my extensive experience and understanding of the human body, psychology and western concepts of somatic psycho-therapy to create a unique somatic coaching and yoga practice.
I know what it’s like to feel lost, imbalanced and overwhelmed by life, pushing body and mind beyond limits, gaining external achievements but lacking contentment. This was my life for many years until I started to refocus.
As a reformed (academic) perfectionist (PhD in Physiology, MSc in Exercise Science, BSc in Kinesiology, BSc in Psychology) and high performance athlete (World Champion in Rowing and Div. I athlete at OSU), recovering from eating disorder, abusing my body and my brain constantly, I had to find a more embodied solution, a path to freedom away from physical and mental overwhelm and suffering, and I’d love to help you do the same!
I founded Bhumi Yoga in 2010 from deep wish to be a source of healing in this world.
In my work I empower people of all walks of life to reconnect to their inner agency and to cultivate the tools to navigate the challenges of life with more calm, resilience and a better inner perspective for themselves.
Central to my work is:
- Holding space every weekday morning in our Mysore Yoga room.
- Empowering stressed women to come off the rollercoaster of overwhelm and exhaustion in my 1-on-1 work.
- Educating about yoga and other somatic healing modalities in my workshops and retreats.
My wish is to offer a safe space for you to foster awareness from where new beneficial perspectives can blossom.
