Yoga Instructor

Faye first discovered yoga at the age of 17, when she joined a class at school and immediately felt at home on the mat. What began as curiosity soon grew into a lifelong practice, and in 2020 she followed her dream all the way to Costa Rica, where she trained as a yoga teacher surrounded by nature and community.

For Faye, yoga has always been more than movement — it’s a pathway to connection, resilience, and joy. Alongside her yoga journey, she cultivated a love for breathwork and cold-water therapy, practices that ground her and awaken her spirit. She also draws inspiration from the moon — its cycles, mystery, and quiet power reminding her to embrace change and move with intention.

Now rooted in Christchurch, Faye has built Maya & Moon as a soulful riverside sanctuary where yoga, wellness, and community come together. Alongside classes, the studio also celebrates ethical retail — carefully chosen treasures and self-care essentials that reflect the same values of connection, creativity, and conscious living.

Faye’s dream is for the studio to be not just a place to practice, but a space where people feel seen, supported, and inspired — just as she did when she first found yoga.
