welcome
I have created Yoga Maps for you.
I wanted to build something that helps you find your way through life and guides your journey. We all have different destinations and legacies we want to leave behind. I’m here to help you stay present on your path, ground down through every little step and rise up with every breath you take.
I look forward to meeting you..

Hey and welcome to my website!
Who am I?
I’m a London based yoga teacher who moved here from Poland in 2011 to find my purpose in life. After suffering from bad anxiety, panic attacks and depression I was instinctively drawn towards meditation and mindful movement. As I continued to practice yoga, I noticed shifts in my mental and physical health. I knew it was something I would like to do more of and maybe make it my future career. As a waitress, barmaid, cleaner, babysitter then pub manager I always felt that I was not good enough to become someone’s ‘teacher’. In 2016 I fell down the stairs and broke my coccyx. Not being able to walk and move for few weeks really motivated me to live my life to the fullest and pursue my dream of becoming a yoga teacher.
Currently, I’m teaching public and private classes, alongside organising global wellness retreats. My biggest goal is to make yoga more available and accessible worldwide.
If you are someone who is looking to improve flexibility, mobility, cardiovascular health or perhaps you want to reduce anxiety, stress, depression and start to sleep better than join me on the mat! Whether you are an experienced yogi or complete beginner I will help you to find what FEELS GOOD FOR YOU. I belief that Yoga is a lifelong journey to a better self. Let me be a part of it.
group classes
Community Donation-Based class Every Wednesday 7.15pm at the East Dulwich Community Centre book your spot by emailing us.
More public classes coming soon….watch this space!
private classes
Private classes are ideal if you want to take your practice deeper, work on something specific or learn the correct alignments to prevent injuries. I can tailor one to one private, small group or corporate classes.
Whether you want to practice in the comfort of your living room, bring yoga to work and share your experience with your coworkers, during private events like a birthday party or your best friend’s hen do, please get in touch.

reviews
“Martyna is such a special teacher and I absolutely love her classes. They are an intelligent mix catering for all abilities and needs. I have had private and group classes with her and love the care and attention she gives to everyone. She is a teacher I highly recommend to all.”
“Martyna is a warm, bubbly, caring, fully certified yoga teacher who is passionate about what she does. Her class catered to different levels of ability and as a newcomer myself I was made to feel welcome and able to participate and follow the movements to my own ability. I left feeling calm and physically well in myself, and got a brilliant night’s sleep afterwards. I can wholeheartedly recommend Martyna’s classes”.
“I haven’t practiced yoga for a really long time, so was feeling nervous before the class started. Martyna was calm and knowledgeable which made me relax instantly and focus on my breath. She guided me through my poses and corrected me which was so useful! I would highly recommend her lessons”.
