About Mar y Luna
Mar Y Luna is all about yoga, with word origins of unification: self with self, self with others, self and the broader environment. This unification is enabled through a healthy balance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (restore and renew) nervous systems. Many scientific studies point to the importance of purposeful time in the parasympathetic: for a calmer personal experience, greater compassion for others and the self, and deeper connection with the environment.

Meet Maria
Maria (Malati) Gelabert Artiles, Ph.D.
I am a registered yoga teacher (RYT200-Integral Yoga and Restorative Yoga), offering restorative yoga classes and workshops for over 10 years. In my writing, I investigate connections between yoga, mindfulness, thermodynamics, and the environment, effectively folding my science training into yoga and wellness. Of specific interest is mind chaos, or thermodynamic entropy: applying chaos principles to mindfulness practice. As a yogic guide, I invite you to cultivate deep body awareness through intentional observation of body, breath, and mind, offering a rich, life-affirming experience for optimum health.
