Maria Pia Santolaya
Multi-style Yoga Teacher
Massage therapist
Geologist
Born in 1990, she grew up influenced by the philosophy of Yoga from childhood. She began practicing yogasana around the age of 19, alongside her mother, a Yoga teacher.
After graduating from university, where he majored in Geology, his life was full of ups and downs, taking on various jobs related to his profession. However, he never stopped practicing Yoga (with varying degrees of frequency) and reading about philosophy.
In 2020, she realized it no longer made sense to continue living a routine life, working under stress and in something that didn't contribute to society. She felt empty... It was then that she reconnected with herself and began to delve deeper into the path of Yoga, studying more, traveling, and working in different fields.
“Being a geologist doesn't define me, I am many other things besides my profession.”
She freed herself from many self-demands and labels that no longer represented her and finally began her journey to India. There, she experienced Yoga from the ground up, adapted to local customs, and learned a lot—simply by living.
Upon her return, she decided to create her own project to welcome people who felt the need to reconnect. She felt, deep in her heart, a calling to help those who, like her in the past, live on autopilot.
Pia's goal is to share the tools she knows about Yoga and massage therapy, helping and supporting each person on their path to self-knowledge and well-being.
