In loving memory of our beloved Guruji, Sri K Pattabhi Jois, who left his body May 18th, 2009. He was a legend in his own time and he will be missed. We aspire to continue to share the essence of his teachings. |
“Dynamic”, “Inspiring”, “Vinyasa”, “Rooted in Tradition”… These are but a few of the ways Maya Yoga has been described over the years. Drawing from their years of practice and teaching, Eddie Modestini and Nicki Doane create an atmosphere where Yoga is treated as a sustainable powerful life support system. The original studio is in Maui, Hawaii, where Eddie and Nicki offer teacher trainings and Yoga retreats throughout the year. |

   Maya Yoga studio is nestled in the Honokala valley on the north shore of Maui, down a winding red dirt road. A multi-colored peace sign nailed to a tree by the side of the road is the only indication that you have arrived.
