Maya Collins
Founder and Lead Teacher
Maya Collins founded Harbour Yoga Studio to bring thoughtful, inclusive yoga to the Brighton community. She leads Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Beginners, and Pregnancy Yoga classes, drawing on years of study and a genuine belief that yoga is for every body.
Maya's teaching style blends careful anatomical awareness with an encouraging, unhurried atmosphere. She takes time to offer modifications and hands-on guidance so that each student feels supported, whatever their starting point. Her Pregnancy Yoga sessions reflect additional specialist training in prenatal practice, ensuring expectant mothers feel safe and well cared for throughout.
When she is not teaching, Maya continues to develop her own practice and keeps her knowledge current through regular continuing professional development.
