MAYA FIENNES BIOGRAPHY
Macedonian born Maya has combined her talents as a successful classical pianist
and performer with her upbeat personality, culminating in a unique style of yoga
and meditation for modern living. Maya's style of yoga is based on the Kundalini
Yoga tradition, as taught by Yogi Bhajan founder of the 3HO Foundation in 1969.
Her visible philosophy of good health and living with inner peace and confidence,
have made her one of the most in-demand yoga instructors in Europe. Her classes
are fun, uplifting and above all inspirational. In 2009, Maya relocated to
Los Angeles, to share her teaching and further her possibilities as a world
renowned Kundalini yoga teacher and transformational guide.
Maya came to England in the early 1990's to complete her training as a classical
pianist and was soon playing to audiences as diverse as The United Nations
Assembly and members of the Royal Family at private recitals with her dazzling
virtuosity. In 1995, she released her debut album "Cross of Silence" to
critical acclaim, described by Q- Magazine as 'The point where ambient, dance,
world and classical music all meet, at the crossroads of quiet dignity and power'.
Maya's current CD, "Mayaspace", is a fusion of Yoga mantras and music of
chilling beauty. It features guest spots from friends and peers such as Deepak
Chopra. In 2009, Maya released the "Mood Mantras" CD which is a remix of
various mantras.
Having practiced a variety of yoga for years, Maya decided in 2003 to train as a
Kundalini teacher. Maya studied under Shiv Charan Singh at the Karam Kriya School
in London. The name given to Maya at the naming ceremony is Har Bhajan, which
means praise the name of God, Divinity & Infinity, through Sound and Mantra.
Maya therefore feels destined to teach Kundalini with the help of her musical
background. Maya uses her original music in her classes, which she also performs
live in concert. A true performer, Maya takes every opportunity to give her students
the tools for transformation accompanied by a soundtrack for their lives.
Maya has grown far beyond the yoga studio, taking her teachings across various mediums,
including TV, DVD, CD, and merchandise. Her first DVD, "Detox and De-stress"
was released in 2007. Maya's "7 Chakras through Kundalini Yoga" features on
the Sky platform, via Body in Balance (BiB), also released in three DVD box sets in 2008;
"A Journey Through the Chakras - Courage, Creativity & Willpower",
"Love & Truth" and "Wisdom & Bliss". Maya features these
productions on several TV channels across Europe.
Maya completed another TV/DVD/CD production in the Summer of 2010 "The Mantras of Kundalini Yoga"
using her own original composed music "Kundalini Mantras" to demonstrate the
power and healing of sound. This production is already featured on TV. This year
Maya is shooting a Yoga for REAL Life series of dvds in Los Angeles, which will also be
featured on TV screens worldwide.
Maya's first book, "Yoga for Real Life", was released in the UK in January 2010
and has sold over 20,000 copies. It has been translated in to Dutch, Norwegian and
Finnish and will be released in the US this April, 2011.
In the US, Maya is featured weekly on Discovery Health & Fit TV. She is also slated
to be one of the key talents on Mark Goldman's wellness channel, BE, hosting
"Moments of Wellness" which is planned to be broadcast on several major cable
channels. Last year Maya presented to the OWN Channel, recently launched by Oprah Winfrey.
In 2010, Maya led wellness retreats and sold out workshops in Singapore, Hong Kong,
Jakarta, London and Germany, as well as major appearances at the London Yoga Show and
the Wanderlust Yoga & Music Festival in Lake Tahoe. 2011's calendar includes workshops
and retreats in Germany, London, Spain, Moscow, Rome, Oslo, Dublin. In the US Maya will
host workshops across the country including Alabama, New York and Santa Fe as well as
being included in the roster at the renowned Omega workshops. Maya has already been
