Maria Annabel
Yoga Teacher · Sound Practitioner · Ceremony Facilitator
Hi, I'm Maria, a space holder from Finland, devoted to creating transformative experiences for connection, healing and remembrance through yoga, sound and ceremony.
My journey into this work began with a longing for something deeper. After years of studying and working in the corporate world in London, I found myself questioning the life I was building. On the outside, everything seemed to be moving in the right direction, but something within me was calling for a different way of living.
Yoga and meditation became my way of reconnecting with myself. Through movement, stillness and eventually sound, voice and ceremony, I began to discover a sense of freedom, presence and connection that I hadn't known before. These practices gave me the courage to follow my heart, leave behind the path I thought I was supposed to take, and create a life that felt truly aligned with who I am.
That journey eventually led me to Lake Atitlán, a place that has become incredibly close to my heart. Living and teaching here has been one of the most beautiful and transformative chapters of my life. The lake has taught me so much about surrender, community, living with an open heart and finding beauty in simply being, rather than constantly doing.
Since then I’ve been this path has taken me across the world, teaching yoga in studios, retreat spaces, and international festivals, guiding sound journeys and holding ceremonies. Each experience has deepened my love for this work
I believe that beneath all the expectations, distractions and noise of everyday life, there is a part of us that already knows the way. Sometimes we simply need the space to slow down, listen and reconnect with it.
Innerbloom is a reflection of everything that has touched and transformed my own journey. My wish is to share a little of the magic I've experienced at Lake Atitlán and create a space where you can reconnect with yourself, find inspiration and perhaps discover something beautiful and unexpected along the way. I can't wait to welcome you to this incredible place and support your journey.
With love,
Maria ♡
