Maria Pountou

Maria is a Zurich-based yoga and mobility teacher, strength coach and cycling instructor. After completing her Fashion Studies in 2008, she undertook a 200-hour teacher training in New York. Following her return to Zurich, she began teaching yoga daily and continued to expand her education. Today, she is registered as a 500-hour E-RYT with Yoga Alliance and works as an FRC / Kinstretch coach. Her strong vinyasa-inspired classes, often accompanied by music, aim to foster a deeper connection to movement, improve body awareness and support overall wellbeing. Students move through creative yet structured sequences that emphasise anatomical focus, therapeutic elements and precise alignment. Aria encourages practitioners to build a lasting relationship with their practice, challenge physical and mental limits while respecting individual abilities and strengths. She teaches in English.
