Lila B is the host of the podcast Daring to be HAPPY, and a modern day monk, an event manager & teaches meditation around the world.
She learned to Ascend in 2012 and within just a few weeks found the clarity to see where she was compromising in her life and find the courage to do something about it.
Since then life has been the most joyful adventure. She has found purpose and passion and feels so honoured and grateful to be able to share Ascension with others.
She is also passionate about opening up the conversation around grief and is a gluten free foodie.
When home in New Zealand she loves spending time with her mini schnauzer Lulu and living as sustainably as possible.
Maria has walked her path trying to create the perfect life - a successful business carrier, high achievements in sports and social recognition – only to recognize that life is not about that. She has found that true lasting contentment comes from the inside and the ability to stay present.
She is a certified Ascension meditation teacher and an Ishta yoga instructor with additional certificates within Virya-, Yin-, Restorative, Vinyasa and Chakra yoga.
Her great passion for consciousness and personal empowerment has today led her to travel the world, facilitating and arranging holistic wellness retreats, talks, courses and trainings to inspire people to create a more rewarding expanding life for themselves.
Maria has a clear, humble, and direct way of teaching and able to inspire and connect with a large range of people, whether they are business leaders, spiritual seekers or anyone else ready to grow as individual.
The Ishayas’ Ascension meditation is a user-friendly and efficient form of meditation for experiencing life beyond limitation. The mediation techniques are effortless to use, yet powerful to practice and bring you to a direct experience of peace, happiness and freedom. They involve no belief, do not require any specific physical postures and can be easily practiced by anyone of any age or cultural background.
Ascension meditation is an ancient teaching that springs from the East (India/Himalaya) and was re-introduced and adapted in the 1990 to the modern western societies. Today it is a teaching practiced all over the world and taught by The Ishaya's of The Bright Path.

A few words from one of the lovely attendees from Aja's 2016 retreat at Spa Village:
“My life has changed dramatically since being in Bali last year. I embarked on the journey with some trepidation, not ever having travelled overseas, only briefly practicing meditation and never experiencing yoga. One of my closest friends, had received the invite and encouraged me take the challenge. Upon meeting both Emma and Maria I knew that I was in great hands. The resort was truly breath-taking staff incredible and the services provided beyond expectations. Everything had been taken care off from meals to massages to activities, I literally didn’t have to think (which I feel allowed for me to fully engage in the practice).
As the teachings of Ascension meditation commenced, I learned more about myself that I had in a lifetime. I felt myself experiencing deep meditation, and enjoyed every moment of the yoga practice. Needless to say I awoke everyday looking forward to more teachings and group connectivity.
I retried home and continued the Ascension meditation and yoga practice. Subsequently, I have given up nicotine, an addiction over 35 years, and other anti social behaviours. I recently resigned from an employment role that was not conducive to my growth or health and was offered a Managerial role in my chosen field of Community Services. I am so looking forward to the next opportunity to experience further teachings in the techniques.”
