Maria began practicing yoga consistently on the island of Maui in 2000, with teachers Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini. She distinctly remembers not being able to walk after her first yoga class with this husband and wife team, and knew she wanted to go back. She began coming to Frog Lotus Yoga in November 2006 and felt like she had finally found a great place to practice yoga in the Berkshires. She then proceeded to become a graduate of the Teachers Training at Frog Lotus. Some of her other interests are running, rock climbing, hiking, mountain and road biking, and telemark skiing. Most of her time is spent at Williams College where she works as the campus nutritionist. She also does nutritional counseling for special programs at Kripalu.
