Maria-Cristina

Yoga Instructor

Maria-Cristina (aka "MC") is a compassionate yoga teacher who is proud to have completed both her 200-hour Teacher Training and specialized Yin Yoga training right here at Blue Lotus Yoga. Having found her own path as a yoga teacher within these walls, she is honored to share that journey with the Annapolis community.

She views Yin as a quiet revolution—a profound tool for global harmony that begins by cultivating an "inner oasis" of stillness. By holding space for patience, surrender, and deep listening, MC teaches with the heartfelt conviction that the tranquility found on the mat creates a ripple effect of peace that extends far beyond the studio doors.

Off the mat, MC leads a career dedicated to the health of our atmosphere. Whether she is working to reduce the planet’s carbon footprint or holding space for a deep, restorative exhale, her mission remains the same: to create a more sustainable, and peaceful future for all beings. MC holds a M.A in Peace and Conflict & Sustainable Development Studies from the United Nations University for Peace, as well as a Professional Science Masters in Carbon Accounting from Colorado State University.
