Who is Maya Fiennes?

Biography
Macedonian born Maya has combined her talents as a successful classical pianist and performer with her upbeat personality to create a unique style of yoga and meditation for modern living, based on Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan who established 3HO Foundation in 1969. Maya's philosophy of good health and living with inner peace and confidence, has made her one of the most in-demand yoga instructors in London. Her classes are fun, uplifting and above all inspirational.

 Maya came to England in the early 1990's to complete her training as a classical pianist and was soon playing to audiences as diverse as The United Nations Assembly and members of the Royal Family at private recitals with her dazzling virtuosity. In 1995, she released her debut album 'Cross of Silence' to critical acclaim, described by Q- Magazine as 'The point where ambient, dance, world and classical music all meet, at the crossroads of quiet dignity and power'. In 2006 Maya's released another CD, Mayaspace, which is a fusion of Yoga mantras and music of chilling beauty. It features guest spots from friends and peers such as Deepak Chopra. In January this year MoodMantras was launched which is a remix of the more traditional Kundalini Mantras.


Having practised all kinds of yoga for years, Maya decided in 2003/04 Maya to train to be a Kundalini Teacher. She learnt under Shiv Charan Singh at the Karam Kriya School in London. The name given to Maya at the naming ceremony is Har Bhajan, which means praise the name of God, Divinity & Infinity, through Sound and Mantra. Maya therefore feels destined to teach Kundalini with the help of her musical background. Maya uses her original music in her classes, which she also performs live in concert.

In the last couple of years Maya has grown her yoga activities across various mediums and her first dvd was launched in 2007. A TV production of Maya and the 7 Chakras through Kundalini Yoga was completed last year followed by its launch on the Sky platform, via Body in Balance (Bib) last June. In August 2008 the first dvd box set of a A Journey Through the Chakras - Courage, Creativity & Willpower was released. This was soon followed by the Love & Truth dvds of the same series and more recently the final box set Wisdom & Bliss has been released.

Later in the year Maya will complete a new TV/DVD production focussing on Mantra workshops.

Maya is also working on her first book, in a series of three, which should be released in January 2010
