Rhythm Art & Yoga School is a healing art and meditation center planting seeds of peace through restorative yoga, energy and sound healing, teacher training, and artist residency. Creative self-expression is universally revered not for its aesthetic function but for its sacred, healing power. Our ancestors knew this, but it is easy to forget living in the modern world.
After a near death experience, Maria realized her life purpose as a healing artist and teacher. Maria received her BFA in Studio Art from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC and completed her study of traditional Hatha Yoga and Sri Vidya Tantra Meditation.
Since 2011, Maria has worked with 6000+ students of all ages, physical and cognitive abilities, and life experiences, including veterans, hospice and cancer patients, survivors of domestic violence, and helping professionals.Maria has studied with master teachers of Integral Yoga, Qigong, Tibetan Buddhism, Ayurveda, Reiki, Classical Music, Death Support, Mental Health Advocacy, and Social Work.

Sometimes, we are "doing" all the right things, but we can't seem to shake the feeling of heaviness or anxiety. Reiki energy healing combined with sound therapy and restorative yoga nidra meditation helps to remove energetic blockages and bring you into a deep state of relaxation. Private sessions begin with tea and conversation to help you feel grounded and voice your intentions.
Mindfulness-based yoga training to help you develop a personal practice that supports healing and self-discovery. You will learn trauma-sensitive yoga and meditation practices, philosophy, anatomy, ethics, and professional essentials. Our school methodology is rooted in Hatha Yoga, Sri Vidya Tantra, and Buddhism - focusing equally on the energetic and physical aspects of healing art traditions.

Rhythm is a beautiful, welcoming, and inviting space. The yoga classes are accessible to all and I always leave feeling great. Maria approaches yoga with an open mind and curious heart, so the classes are never the same thing twice. I always learn something every time I go. I also highly recommend the sound meditation and Reiki. What a gem in Englewood!

This studio is very inviting to both the practiced yogi and the yoga newcomer. My wife and I both vary in our yoga experience (she's much more practiced while I'm more of a beginner). The teachers naturally cater to both of our experience levels each time we attend, while also personalizing the practice to our physical/mental needs at that time. They also are really good at recommending lifestyle changes to improve chronic issues. I have many examples of coming away from a Rhythm Art & Yoga class feeling fantastic! I learn something new each time.

Amazing community studio! Maria has a warm demeanor and works with a wide group of people. The All-level yoga classes are easy to follow and offer a nice combination of stretching and balance. She is also a wonderful singer and hosts a cellist for Wednesday night sound meditations. There are also various workshops like figure drawing, and rotating art exhibits!

New locally owned business in Englewood! Attended my first ever Life Drawing class here and it was a blast! Nice mix of experienced and novice (me) artists. Yoga classes are also great for all levels. Super affordable memberships and daily drop-ins. Whether you are looking to stretch and strengthen, meditate with the crystal singing bowls, or find a quiet place to journal and collect your thoughts, this studio provides.

If you're looking for a place to establish Reiki... go some go some where else. Marie is a scam. I had a free Consultation appointment with her that I had arranged via text message. And during this consultation she dived right into asking very personal questions about my past trauma. I at one point had to stop her because I was so uncomfortable with how much personal stuff she was asking me about. And started asking her about her business and why she wasn't telling me anything about what she does and what Reiki is. She became defensive at this point and said that she didn't know

I would highly recommend this studio and Maria as a teacher. The space is warm, inviting and has all the props and mats you could need for your practice. Maria is an intuitive and inclusive teacher, backed with a deep knowledge of the body and how it works. Her classes ask you to tap into your body and move intuitively, without pushing beyond your limits.

Rhythm Art and Yoga Studio is a welcoming and safe space to practice yoga and to be creative. They offer a lot of classes and fantastic workshops in a very clean and gorgeous studio. I always leave feeling inspired, energized, and thankful. I'm learning so much more about the benefits of the various yoga poses with Maria's direction. She provides clear, easy to understand guidance for how to get into, and modify, postures using anatomical terminology and also sometimes a funny description. I've noticed that she's also really good at noticing problems in postures and providing

During and After the sound healing session with Maria I feel so uplifted. She intuitively guided my own awareness to take time to be with Mother Nature, tell it what's been coming up for me lately and listen for its guidance. To be reconnecting with the mountains through grounding is something I've put off for quite some time. I have a day trip planned in a few days. Much needed re-creation of my soul just ahead.
