For the mind,
to make it rest
In these busy and dynamic times, find time for your mind to simply be with yourself. Mauna is the place for the mind to stop overthinking, to stop worrying and racing. Mauna is the time to clear your mind.
Why Mauna IN FLOW
The practice for your mind
Mauna means silence in Sanskrit. In flow because we use movement, we use yoga. Every class here uses yoga and meditation as tools for developing self-knowledge and self-awareness used to quiet the mind.
“The external world may be quiet, but if internally the mind is noisy — is it really silence?”
At Mauna, we teach you to train the mind to overcome. Overcome overthinking, stress, burnout. At Mauna, you relearn to rest and be in the zone.
Mauna · Sanskrit
silence · stillness · inner quiet
A fusion of Ashtanga and Hatha yoga for people who have moved beyond yoga as exercise and want a practice that addresses the mind as much as the body.
Why a demanding practice is what quiets the mind
1. Effort takes the attention.
A pose hard enough to require your full attention leaves no spare capacity for other thoughts: the conversation you had at 3pm. The mind doesn’t stop immediately. It simply changes the point of focus.
2. Attention goes into the body.
Held there, repeatedly, you start noticing what you’d stopped noticing: where you brace, when your breath shortens, what your shoulders do before you consciously feel stressed.
3. Noticing becomes a skill.
This is body intelligence: the ability to read your own internal state. Researchers call it interoception, and it’s trainable.
4. You learn to regulate your nervous system.
The practical result: you notice stress when it’s at a level of 3/10 instead of 9/10, while it’s still small enough for you to manage and do something about it.
Every practice here, live or on demand, is built on those four steps.

The Founder
Mauna is for people who want a safe place to explore and reset the mind
Maria started teaching yoga in 2021 and with a total of 950h of Yoga teacher trainings in Portugal, UK and India, she created Mauna with the goal of helping people who deal with a racing mind and want to slow it down.
Maria has been working for the finance and tech industries for 11 years and she keeps coming back to Yoga as a way to reset the brain and calm the mind.
Mauna is inspired in the need to find a place to explore space: on the body, from your breath and in your mind. A place where time stops and you dedicate yourself only to be with yourself. Connect inwards and reset your energy.
