How will Yoga Tune Up® help you?

I practice a type of Yoga Therapy called Yoga Tune Up®. It is conscious, corrective exercise designed to lengthen tight muscles, strengthen weak/under utilized muscles, stabilize joints and move joints and tissues through every conceivable angle to improve global mobility.


The benefits of Yoga Therapy are:
- Relief from chronic pain
- Increased relaxation of body and mind
- Increased flexibility
- Increased strength
- Stress and anxiety reduction
- Increased awareness of healthy, efficient ways to move
- Improved biomechanics


More on Maura
Maura began working as a professional trainer while attending college. After graduating from University of Colorado , Boulder , she became a professional fire fighter-EMT and quickly learned the importance of correct bio-mechanics and the value of Functional Training.

Having won her first natural body building title in College, her passion for fitness led her to consult for her fellow fire fighters in health and nutrition, eventually leading her to become a founding member of Boulder Fire Department’s Fitness Committee. After years of anatomy and nutrition self-study, Maura won her second body building title (NPC natural). Her desire to learn more about mind-body led her to LA, she became an ACE CPT and began training private clients and she started teaching Budokon, a mixture of martial arts and Yoga, at the prestigious Equinox clubs in Los Angeles .

After suffering a martial arts related hip injury, she began to study with Yoga Therapist and creator of Yoga Tune Up® Jill Miller, teaching her first class at Equinox in 2006. Yoga Tune Up®’s unique blend of yoga, physical therapy principles with various stretching modalities helped quickly heal the injury which fueled her passion to teach this effective, corrective format in the Yoga, Pilates and Fitness worlds. Maura then assisted Jill in developing her training manual. She eventually logged over 300 class room hours traveling around the US with Jill, becoming a licensed practitioner and assisting the Level 1 trainings and workshops. Maura is one of Jill’s first Yoga Tune Up® Integrated Teacher Trainers, and now travels around the US teaching embodied, integrated anatomy for PURE Yoga.

Maura is the Director of Training and Continuing Education for Tune Up Fitness International and an active member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists. She recently represented Yoga Tune Up® at the Symposium of Yoga Therapy and Research meeting of schools to help develop standards of practice and competency for national Yoga Therapy licensure. Maura is also an accredited continuing educator for the American College of Sports Medicine, American Council on Exercise, Yoga Alliance, an E-RYT and YTU-IA.
