"God is Simple. Everything else is complex.
Do not seek absolute values in the relative world of nature."
-Paramahansa Yogananda [Autobiography of a Yogi]
As the founder of Viva Aum Yoga, I, Magdalena (Maggie) Pintos care so deeply about creating a space where breath, movement, and conscious awareness become pathways to true human living.
Born in Argentina, raised in the U.S.A, and plenty of countries visited in my lifetime, I honor the space of travel and its heart-expanding teachings. Being bilingual in Spanish and English help me connect further with others.
It takes the right teacher to guide you to your divine path, your divine purpose, and I am grateful to come from maternal ancestral lineage of teachers. The skill to instruct, communicate, and connect is the gift of living out my purpose (dharma).
The moment yoga clicked, I finally understood the profound peace from Śavāsana— it sparked a lifelong devotion to my inner journey.
With a B.S. in Psychology from NCSU, Reiki Level 2 & Energy Medicine training, and over 500 hours of yoga certifications from the U.S. and India, my focus is to blend ancient yogic wisdom with the subtle intelligence of elegance in motion, energy, breath consciousness, and intuition.
My passionate teaching is rooted in 'svadhyaya'—self‑study—and in the belief that inner transformation unfolds through proper alignment, functional movement, breath awareness, and disciplined meditation.
Outside teaching & travelling - nature, sewing, dancing to electronic music, reading, exploring, and time with my beloved dogs and family nourishes me.
Meditation and Contemplation is the anchoring heart of my personal practice.
