Maya Fiennes

Macedonian born Maya has combined her talents as a successful classical pianist and performer with her upbeat personality to create a unique style of yoga, meditation, and music for modern living. Maya’s philosophy of good health and living with inner peace and confidence has made her one of the most in-demand yoga instructors and performers in the world. Her yoga classes and concerts are fun, uplifting and above all inspirational.
Maya came to England to complete her training as a classical pianist and was soon playing to audiences as diverse as The United Nations Assembly and members of the Royal Family. She released her debut album ‘Cross of Silence’ to critical acclaim, described by Q-Magazine as ‘The point where ambient, dance, world and classical music all meet, at the crossroads of quiet dignity and power.’ Maya’s music is a fusion of Yoga mantras and hypnotic electronic sounds. It features guest spots from friends and peers such as Deepak Chopra. Maya uses her original music in her classes, and also performs live in concerts.
Maya trained to be a Kundalini Yoga Teacher under Shiv Charan Singh at the Karam Kriya School in London. She has combined traditional Kundalini postures with Qi Gong, Tai Chi and many other disciplines as a tool for deeper transformation.
"I love to teach and to see the shift in my students and I therefore travel the world to attend yoga conferences, host workshops and retreats. I love music and I strongly believe that the use of vibration and mantras have a powerful healing effect on us all, specially when used in combination with my yoga.” - Maya Fiennes
Maya has made over 20 DVDs, released several CDs, and published a book Yoga for Real Life, which has now been translated into eight languages and has sold over 100,000 copies.
