Maria Kim
Dr. Maria Kim, a dentist in Arcadia, began her yoga practice in 2011 after years of neck and back pain along with a bout of sciatic nerve inflammation. There was significant improvement in pain management after a few months of yoga. She also found herself less grouchy and less anxious. She was so amazed by the difference, she immediately pursued her 500 hour yoga training at Yogablend and Yoga Madre in 2012 and 2013.
As a yoga teacher, she encourages and respects the unique abilities of each student. Her classes emphasize the fun and the foundations of the practice. Currently, she has become interested in the postural changes of aging. Her goal is to stand as straight as possible as an older dentist, yogi, and woman.
She would like to thank all the teachers of Yoga Madre and especially René Quenell for her wisdom, sincerity, and constant generosity. She would also thank her family, their support has made all things possible.
Maria teaches Mixed Level and Beginner classes.
