Founder:

Maria Camille, creator of BaGua Flow, has been a student and practitioner of the internal arts for most of her life.

Maria is a former World Skydiving Champion (the first for America) winning four gold medals and a bronze in what is known worldwide as Style Competition.  Style is precision gymnastics (at 200 MPH) wherein you only have 26 seconds of airtime - one of the fastest and most dangerous mind/body sports in the world.

Maria is also a three-time national champion in Para-Ski, an extraordinarily challenging sport that combines precision parachuting on the side of icy mountain slopes along with giant slalom ski racing.

Her success in these competitive arenas can be attributed in large measure to her dedication to the mind/body discipline employed in the philosophy and practice of internal energy arts. 

Breaking new ground has always been a way of life for Maria.  A number of movie roles included her participation in an all-female team airlifted into a remote village in East Irian Jaya, New Guinea where her group successfully parachuted into a remote high mountain village, scaled a never-before-climbed 17,000-foot mountain and ran the previously untamed white-water rapids of the St. Lawrence River.  Seeking a more creative venue, she participated in many special assignments world-wide, then went on to form a production company which produced numerous cable television shows on health, wellness, anti-aging and fitness.

Throughout it all, she practiced the energy arts. She extracted what she learned and integrated them into her own ever-evolving internal martial arts regimen. The result is a return to her original training roots and the creation of Bagua Flow, a practice that combines beauty and grace through mind/body exercises that emphasize one’s physical, psychological, and internal health.

When not spreading the message of Bagua Flow, Maria spends much of her time in the mountains of Utah and Colorado.  She lives on a beautiful mountain retreat near Sedona, Arizona.
