Malia Schroeder started practicing yoga in 2005 in Toronto, ON. After living all over the world and practicing a variety of yoga styles she came to call Pittsburgh home in 2014, where she rooted into a daily Ashtanga practice for many years.

The call to share yoga more widely and sustainably drew her to incorporate additional styles of yoga into her repertoire. She is a graduate of the Sneha Yoga & Wellness Collective’s 300-Hour in-person Yoga Teacher Training in Pittsburgh, PA.

Her foundational experience as an Ashtanga student with a modified practice for many years taught her to be open to the essence of each posture and adjust according to what is currently available in the body.

Her yoga classes aim to leave students feeling rested, renewed, and connected with themselves. Expect a mix of gentle yoga poses paired with breath awareness and moments of quiet rest. Her favorite prop is the wall and you will often find her using it for balance. 

Malia lives in Wexford, PA with her family. She is a dedicated student of vedic meditation, an ayurveda enthusiast, and enjoys standing with her feet on the earth.
