Overview
Mauktika, meaning “pearl” in Sanskrit, is a community-focused yoga and fitness studio in Port Coquitlam. Founded by Maggie, a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance and a certified Zumba instructor, the studio was created to provide an accessible space for wellbeing. Maggie draws on her background in dance, psychology, and philosophy to craft classes that emphasize meaningful connection and personal growth. The studio welcomes all ages and experience levels, from seasoned practitioners to curious beginners, in a judgement-free environment.
Maggie’s own journey through movement—from ballet and competitive dance to group fitness and yoga—inspired her to complete her 200-hour yoga certification and Zumba teacher training. She believes movement is key for healing and regeneration, and her classes are infused with humour, exploration, and a focus on strengthening both body and mind.
