She weaves yoga-somatics with psycho-emotional self-care.She holds classes, teacher training programs on basic and advanced levels, workshops, seminars, and yoga-somatics retreats in Austria and Greece.Maja is a passionate explorer of yoga as a process of human healing and growth. Her life and teaching are dedicated to connecting with people with presence and care.Her Sensit Yoga method consists of an applicable, mindful, and embodied approach to physical movement. She invites students to experience asana as a platform for self-inquiry and exploration.Each individual is invited to work at their own pace and within their field of comfort so that the learning takes place with increased sensitivity and heightened awareness.The movement becomes about releasing the old pattern of forcing and manipulating the body and creating new patterns of listening and being guided by its wisdom.The healing of body-mind happens through the cultivation of a respectful, kind and supportive inner relationship.This integrative approach helps us create new patterns through which we get to know our needs, limits, responses, and reactions, as well as to increasingly make choices in favor of what serves our health and well-being.All these are seen not as a target or achievement, but as a gradual process of coming home to ourselves through healthy and conscious living.A continuous student of Somatic movement modalities, she draws inspiration from Body-Mind Centering, Feldenkrais and Continuum.Her university studies include:- Bachelor degree in Psychotherapy Science at Sigmund Freud University in Vienna, Austria- Bachelor degree in Economics at the Greek National University of Athens,- Bachelor (Honours) degree in Social Sciences at the Open University of UK- Master degree in Political Science at the Greek National University of Athens, on conflict transformation in the Balkans by non-violent means and grass-root peacebuilding
