Maya began her training in Bharata Natyam seven years ago under the care of Guru Shobha Raman in Kalalaya School for the Performing Arts.

Native from Bulgaria, she was the only non-Indian student at the school. Maya’s success in Indian Classical Dance is a great example that art has no borders, nationality, nor creed. Maya’s feeling for the rhythm makes her best at the Aangik Abhinaya – the gestures of the body, the head, eyes, neck, and the movements of the hands and feet. Her mudras are excellent and worth noticing.

Member of the Sahaja Yoga society, Maya finds inspiration in the teachings of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi – worldknown spiritual teacher. One of Maya’s dreams is to continue her Bharata Natyam training in the Sahaja Yoga Academy of Music in Vaitarna, India.
