GET TO KNOW US
Maja Heynecke
Maja is the spark and soul behind Amandari Yoga Shala in Greyton—a warm, intentional space for yoga, meditation and healing.
Her journey began in Thailand in 1992, where a chance encounter with a Buddhist monk ignited her interest in Buddhism. She deepened her understanding through exploring Transcendental Meditation (TM), Vipassana, Kadampa, and Zen Buddhism.
Maja experienced first-hand the healing potential of meditation and yoga and went on to qualify as an Integral Vinyasa and Yin Yoga teacher. She took further yoga training in pre- and post-natal yoga, trauma-informed yoga and functional anatomy.
Also certified Reiki Master (USUI), Maja's studies in Buddhist psychology, Zen therapy and Ayurveda, along with her personal journey as a Soto Zen practitioner, enrich her teaching approach and means she brings a wealth of knowledge to her classes..
"I believe in sharing what resonates with me in my own practice, and creating a nurturing and safe environment for everyone who enters. This shapes my teaching. I hold that space with deep reverence."
"Amandari studio is a vibrant, living project, an invitation from me to others to explore their paths to harmony and well-being in a space filled with nurturing energy."

MORE ABOUT THE INNERDANCE SOUND JOURNEY
Innerdance is not about dancing in the traditional sense; rather, it is a transformative sound journey. This unique experience invites participants to explore deep states of consciousness and self-discovery through the power of sound, allowing for profound healing and connection within. The carefully crafted playlist accompanied by live instruments takes you on a transformative journey of sounds and vibrations, while intuitive touch guides you into expansive states of consciousness where deep healing can take place within. Your body guides your process, you may find rest and experience a deep waking dream state, or you may have spontaneous movement in the body as it realigns. Innerdance is an invitation to release stress and stored emotions, access innate wisdom, align with your Highest Self and recalibrate your nervous system.
