YOGA IS HEALING YOUR MIND, BODY & SOUL
​
I’m a bilingual yoga instructor born and raised in Miami. I received my Yoga certification in 2015 and over the years, have cultivated a deep understanding of the mind-body connection and the healing power of yoga.
As the proud owner of "MoonLight Yoga Miami Studio," I open my doors with open arms. We offer a variety of classes, from Vinyasa that challenge the body to restorative Yin classes that nourish the soul. Moonlight Yoga studio isn't just a place for physical practice; it's a community hub where students can connect, grow, and find their own paths to wellness.

YOGA GOES BEYOND THE PHYSICAL
I was born in Venezuela and graduated from Architecture in my country in 2005.
I was first introduced to Yoga in the year 2000 when I found out I had a thyroid condition. At that time, I was a very energetic person. I used to practice different type of exercises every day. Due to my medical diagnosis, I was not able to practice all these exercises, so the doctor recommended I practice YOGA. That’s when I discovered Yoga and Yoga discovered me.
Yoga is not just a physical exercise, it is much more than that! There is a deeper and profound purpose behind this practice. It is a spiritual practice that brings you joy, while you connect your body and mind in one experience.

YOGA IS AN ART
​
My experience of over 20 years as an actor/creator/mover has allotted me countless opportunities to study human behavior and is what ultimately led me on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.
Over 10 years ago, I began practicing yoga and couldn't be more grateful. In my very active lifestyle, yoga is essential for me to heal and restore. Through mediation and yoga, I have been able to heal myself through symptoms caused by scoliosis, injuries, and emotional as well as mental distress. As a yoga teacher, it is my intention to facilitate a safe and joyful space to share the knowledge that has greatly improved my life. I hold a 250 hr Yoga Teacher Certification.

YOGA IS MY SAFE SPACE
I'm Majo—short for Maria Jose Olmedo. In the diverse tapestry of my life, I seamlessly navigate the roles of a mother, a devoted runner, a passionate cyclist, and a discerning financial manager—an amalgamation that defines the essence of womanhood. Since the year 2020, I am a 200-hour certified Yoga Alliance Instructor.
Yoga's my go-to for balance, my little slice of tranquility, a mirror reflecting my inner self, and the perfect complement to my life. It's my sanctuary, where I can embrace my energy without rushing to the finish line. Yoga's my safe space, soothing my soul, and I love spreading its magic by teaching it to others.
