The Dream Team Behind the Magic
Once upon a time, Yoga with Maja was a one-woman show—me doing it all, from teaching classes to booking retreats and answering every email. But today, I’m beyond blessed to be surrounded by an incredible team of like-hearted humans who not only believe in what I stand for, but truly embody the spirit of this work. No Dolphin works alone, and I’m so GRATEFUL for my Dolphin Pod.
Each soul on this team brings their own unique energy, wisdom, and magic—whether it’s guiding movement, offering healing massage, revealing the hidden gems of ancient Egypt, taking you beneath the surface of the sea, managing behind-the-scenes logistics, or simply showing up with presence, joy, and care.
What unites us is more than a shared mission—it’s a deep devotion to creating sacred, transformative spaces where others can rest, reconnect, and remember who they truly are.
This isn’t just a team. It’s a family. And we can’t wait to welcome you into the circle.
MAJA MIKA - Founder, Retreat Creator, Space Holder & Fellow Human on the Path
My name is Maja Mika — yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, author, and retreat creator. But beneath those titles, I’m simply a human being on a spiritual journey, just like you.
In 2014, while studying Film Production and dreaming of becoming a documentary filmmaker, I was also facing depression, anxiety, self-harm, and thoughts of ending my life. I was 18, completely lost — until yoga found me. What started as a gym class turned into a lifeline. For the first time, I felt at home in my body, aware of my breath, and present with myself. That moment changed everything.
Over the next 10 years, I immersed myself in practices that helped me heal, grow, and reconnect with who I truly am. I gathered tools from around the world, rebuilt my inner foundation, and chose light — one day at a time. Now, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned.
My mission is to remind you that you are the author of your story. You have the power to begin again, to embrace both your shadow and light, and to come home to yourself. I hold space for you to reconnect with your body, trust your heart, and remember that everything you seek is already within you. Let’s walk this path of healing, self-discovery, and transformation — together.
