Better Mornings, Together.

Early mornings, real community, intentional living. The idea behind the 5 AM Club is simple. It’s rooted in showing up. It’s a small intentional step toward building better mornings — together.

Meet Maria

I'm passionate about wellness, movement, intentional living, and creating spaces where people can build meaningful connections. For nearly two decades, yoga has been a consistent part of my life, helping shape the way I approach health, discipline, mindfulness, and personal growth. My background includes years of yoga practice, continued education in wellness and mindfulness, and a deep interest in the connection between movement, community, and well-being.

I created the 5AM Club NYC to bring together people who want to start their days with purpose. In a city that rarely slows down, I believe there is something powerful about reclaiming the early morning hours for yourself—whether through movement, reflection, conversation, or simply watching the sunrise.

When I'm not hosting community events, you'll usually find me practicing yoga, journaling, exploring wellness spaces, enjoying a good cup of tea, or seeking out new experiences and adventures. My goal is simple: to create a welcoming community that inspires people to live more intentionally, connect more deeply, and begin each day feeling energized, grounded, and inspired.

Early Mornings & Real Community

The 5 AM Club is for people who want to live with more structure, intention, and energy in their daily lives. This includes both natural early risers and those aspiring to become them. Whether you’re building a routine, rebuilding consistency, or simply looking for a healthier way to start your day. It’s for individuals at different life stages — from professionals and creatives to newcomers in the city, wellness-focused individuals, and even new parents who are seeking connection, accountability, and a supportive environment.

What unites us is a desire to feel better, be more present, and be part of a community that prioritizes intentional living.
