My Story

Why I started
Mayin Wellness

Yoga found me at a time when I needed it most. Like so many people living in a fast-paced city, I was caught in the relentless rhythm of modern life — constantly doing, rarely pausing, never truly arriving in the present moment. My first yoga class didn't just stretch my body; it gave me back something I hadn't realised I'd lost: stillness.

That experience ignited a deep curiosity that led me to formal study and, eventually, to becoming an RYT-200 registered teacher with Yoga Alliance USA. I trained across Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, and restorative yoga — with specialist training in prenatal and postnatal yoga, weaving in breathwork and meditation — because I believe the most powerful practice meets you exactly where you are.

I founded Mayin Wellness because I saw a gap. So much wellness content is either inaccessible, intimidating, or one-size-fits-all. I wanted to create something different — a practice that is deeply personal, professionally delivered, and genuinely transformative.

The name Mayin is rooted in the idea of nature, flow, and rootedness — qualities I try to bring into every session. Whether you are a complete beginner stepping onto the mat for the first time, a professional seeking relief from burnout, an expectant mother preparing for birth, or a company investing in team wellbeing — you belong here.

Yoga is not about performing poses. It is about learning to inhabit your own life with a little more grace, a little more ease, and a lot more presence.

London is extraordinary — and demanding. We built Mayin Wellness specifically to serve the people who live and work in this city.

RYT-200 & RYPT Certified

Yoga Alliance is the world's largest non-profit association representing the yoga community. The RYT-200 (Registered Yoga Teacher) is its globally recognised baseline standard, requiring 200 hours of accredited training in anatomy, philosophy, and supervised teaching.

The RYPT (Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher) is Yoga Alliance's specialist certification for teaching yoga to pregnant clients. It requires dedicated training in prenatal anatomy, safe modifications for every trimester, and contraindications — meaning every session for expectant mothers is led with evidence-informed care and professional accountability.

This matters to you because both credentials are independently verified and publicly listed in the Yoga Alliance registry — not self-reported. You can trust Silvia with your body, your breath, and — if you're expecting — your baby too.
