Meet Masha
Masha Al Tayar, RYT 200
Founder and TeacherHello and welcome!
I'm Masha and I'm the founder of Align Yoga and Wellness.
The first time I felt that alignment can do something really magnificent for my body was underwater: I was on a synchronized swimming team for 7 years. In this sport your every movement has to be extremely precise, coordinated to music and aligned with the movement of your partners. This is the only way to create those incredible patterns on the water!
Being very familiar with the idea of conscious movement, I decided to try yoga for the first time 12 years ago. My journey started the same way it starts for most people. I definitely appreciated juicy yoga stretches and an opportunity to keep my core toned. However, as time went by, I realized that there was a lot more than that for me in yoga. Every time I practiced, I felt more balanced, calmer, better prepared to face personal and professional challenges. I changed jobs and moved cities, but my yoga practice was there to stay and grow.
When I moved to Miami, FL in 2018, I was happy to discover that the city was full of great yoga studios and amazing yoga teachers. My yoga grew into a daily practice, expanded into breathing exercises and got enriched with meditation. Yoga became an inseparable part of life. It became my safe space for contemplation and experiment.
I love sharing my yoga practice with friends and family and nothing makes me happier than hearing about them deciding to give yoga a try. I am always so curious to see where their practice will take them. It is this desire to share yoga and my strong belief that there is practice for everyone that prompted me to complete my 200 hours yoga instructor training with Lightrail Yoga in Miami, FL.
I am now honored to share your practice. Welcome to Align Yoga and Wellness!
Namaste,
Masha
