The Three Doshas and Why Your Morning Routine Might Be Working Against You
Most wellness advice is written for Pitta types — the driven, ambitious, slightly overheated people who dominate the wellness industry. But if you're a Vata, that 5am cold shower and intense cardio routine might be the exact reason you feel anxious and depleted by noon. Here's how to read your body's signals and build a morning practice that actually works for your constitution…

20-Minute Guided Nidra for Deep Rest — Free Session
Yoga Nidra — the "yogic sleep" — is one of the most powerful tools I know for nervous system restoration. This 20-minute session is designed for anyone experiencing burnout, sleep issues, or chronic stress. No experience needed. All you need is a comfortable place to lie down.

Update
Just returned from a week of silence at a small hermitage in the Santa Cruz mountains. No phone, no screens — just breath, birdsong, and the slow unfolding of what's been waiting beneath the noise. I'm back with new sessions available in March. If you've been feeling the pull toward stillness, this might be your moment. 🌸
I came to Ayurveda the way most people do — through exhaustion. After years of working in tech in San Francisco, I found myself in a state of burnout so complete that I couldn't remember what it felt like to feel well. A friend recommended an Ayurvedic practitioner in Marin, and that first consultation changed the direction of my life.
I trained for three years at the California College of Ayurveda, completed an advanced practicum in Kerala, India, and studied Yoga Nidra and Tibetan breathwork practices with teachers in Dharamsala. I am certified by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) and have been in private practice in Los Angeles since 2020.
My approach is deeply individualized. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all wellness. I work with your unique constitution, your life circumstances, and the specific challenges you're facing right now — whether that's burnout, digestive issues, sleep problems, anxiety, or a more diffuse sense that something is off and you can't quite name it.
I offer sessions in English and Russian, both online and in-person in Los Angeles. I also lead small group retreats and contribute to Soul Travels programs in India and Sri Lanka.

"My session with Maya was one of the most grounding experiences I've had in years. She listened without judgment, asked exactly the right questions, and gave me a practical Ayurvedic protocol that I've been following for three weeks now. My sleep has improved dramatically."

★★★★★
"I was skeptical about online sessions but Maya made the experience feel completely personal. Her knowledge of Ayurveda is deep and she explains everything in a way that's accessible. I left the session with a clear plan and, more importantly, a sense of hope I hadn't felt in months."

Verified Session Review
★★★★☆
"Really wonderful practitioner. The Yoga Nidra session was deeply restorative — I fell into a state I can only describe as conscious sleep. The only reason for 4 stars is that I wished the session had been a bit longer. Will definitely book again."
