Maxie Richard, Instructor
Maxie Richard began studying yoga with Raye Lynn Rath in 1994. She initially started practicing yoga even though she had been skeptical that it would offer the many benefits she had been told. She wanted to experience the benefits for herself – and she did. Maxie started teaching at The Yoga Institute in 1996. She specializes in teaching beginners and she is passionate about providing her students with the tools that enable them to take their yoga out of the studio and into their everyday lives.
Maxie's classes are simple, inspirational and lots of fun. She offers her students a safe, supportive and encouraging environment that allows them to experience a heighten sense of consciousness. Her students have said that she has a “natural sweetness” and that she is “extremely calm”.
Originally from a small town in rural North Louisiana, Maxie moved to Houston over 30 years ago. She is an avid reader and a huge movie buff. She also loves music and it is not unusual for her to quote music lyrics during her classes.
