Maria Praeg is a trained chef and trauma-based yoga teacher. She has taught yoga for over 9 years, working intimately with clients to restore nervous system motility and an embodied awareness of the self. Her yoga sessions are richly informed by the somatic practices of TRE, traditional yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness. 

 

After studying Ayurveda (rooted in Vedic wisdom) and Macrobiotics (rooted in Zen Buddhism) as part of her chef training, she has worked intimately with these modalities in her own self-healing journey as well as with clients in different settings. She has offered workshops on Ayurveda and Macrobiotics at universities, international yoga conventions and at retreats/retreat centres in addition to which she offers one-on-one coaching/guidance sessions.

 

Maria is an experienced coach (non-registered) offering Ayurveda and macrobiotic lifestyle coaching sessions or, as she prefers to call it, “Subtle Energy Management Coaching”. 

In her sessions she provides a thorough overview of these two ancient healing modalities and explores the real-life implications and possibilities these modalities offer us, particularly as they pertain to creating bio-individually relevant lifestyle habits and patterns to support every individual’s unique blueprint for health and vitality. In her sessions, Maria provides an in-depth understanding of how to practically work with these modalities in a way that translates into tangible support for the creation of balanced subtle energy systems.

 

Combined, these two modalities provide a unique framework for understanding the very real ways in which the foods we eat, the activities we do, and the stimuli we consume impact our body systems. What starts as subtle energetic impressions lead to more acute physiological responses and ultimately to chronic behavioural responses, which in turn influence the decisions and habits that positively or negatively govern our lives.
