Marta Magdalena is a co-founder of Nilayam and a dedicated yoga
practitioner and teacher of Astanga Yoga. With over 20 years of
experience on the mat, Marta's dedication to her daily
self-practice of asana and pranayama is truly inspiring.


Passionate about the holistic approach to wellness, Marta
emphasises the importance of breathing practices, Ayurveda, and
maintaining a healthy lifestyle alongside the physical aspects of
yoga. She firmly believes these elements should always go hand in
hand, creating a harmonious balance for overall well-being. 


In her spare time, Marta delves into the study of Vedic mantras,
seeking a deeper understanding of the mind-body-soul connection.
She understands that exploring a wide range of practices that
bridge the physical and metaphysical realms unlocks the gateway
to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
