My work is centered on Yoga Therapy, a personalized approach that adapts yoga practices to your individual needs, health conditions, and goals.
I also offer mindful yoga and meditation sessions to support relaxation, reduce stress, and help you feel more connected in your body and mind.
Sessions are available online and in-person, depending on your needs and location.
These practices are designed for everyone—whether you are living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), managing pain, recovering from injury, or simply looking to feel more balanced in your daily life.
Through gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness, I help you build strength, ease, and inner balance at your own pace.
My name is Maryam Salari, founder of Mindful Yoga & Meditation and MS Yoga Society, and a certified Yoga Therapist. Since 2016, I have been supporting individuals—especially seniors, people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and those experiencing chronic pain—through personalized yoga and mindfulness practices.
My journey with yoga began through my own healing. After living with Multiple Sclerosis for many years, I was searching for a way to feel stronger, calmer, and more connected to my body. Yoga became a turning point in my life. Through consistent practice, I experienced improvements in my balance, a reduction in numbness, and a deeper sense of inner peace. This transformation inspired me to explore yoga beyond the physical level and dedicate my life to sharing its benefits with others.
Over the years, I have worked with a wide range of individuals, offering both private sessions and group classes. My experience includes working with seniors in retirement communities, individuals living with MS, and clients dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, or recovery from injury or surgery. Since 2018, I have also been offering free yoga classes for people with MS, creating a supportive and accessible space for healing and connection.
My approach is gentle, mindful, and highly personalized. I focus on the connection between breath, body, and awareness, helping each person feel safe, supported, and empowered in their practice. Rather than pushing the body, I guide my clients to listen to their bodies, build strength gradually, and develop a deeper sense of trust in themselves.
As a Yoga Therapist, I work one-on-one with clients to support their specific health goals. These sessions are designed to improve overall well-being, enhance daily functioning, and bring more ease, balance, and freedom into life.
My mission is to integrate the wisdom of yoga and mindfulness with a modern understanding of health, supporting each individual on their unique journey toward healing, strength, and inner peace.
MS Yoga Society
Living with MS isn’t easy. The constant tingling, trouble sleeping, and waking up feeling stiff and tired can be overwhelming. Symptoms like numbness, weakness, low energy, balance issues, and vision challenges can affect everyday life. I understand this not from a book, but from my own experience.
As a yoga instructor who has lived with Multiple Sclerosis for over 20 years, I began my yoga and meditation journey to support myself through these challenges. Over time, these practices have helped me better manage my symptoms and feel more connected to my body. At the same time, we do have a choice: we can either let MS define us, or we can choose to live differently.
This experience inspired me to create the MS Yoga Society, a program created through Mindful Yoga & Meditation, offering a supportive space for individuals living with MS through gentle movement, breathwork, and mindful awareness.
I offer a free online group class via Zoom, where participants can move, connect, and feel supported in a safe and understanding environment.
Please note: Yoga and meditation are complementary practices and are not a replacement for medical care.
If you are living with MS and would like to join, I warmly invite you to connect with me.
