“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 have created a space where Yoga is treated as a sustainable powerful life support system. The original studio is in Maui, Hawaii, where Eddie and Nicki have lived since 1998.

If Yoga is truly the calming and quieting of the mind and all its self-limiting tendencies, then we must be prepared for a lifetime of practice. Eddie and Nicki believe that the combination of Asana (yogic postures) and Pranayama (conscious breathing) with alignment, philosophy, and a sense of humor creates a sustainable lifelong yoga practice. The goal of Yoga, if indeed there is one, is not to continue mastering more asanas, but to develop the art of connection. Connection to the earth through the Asanas leads to connection to ourselves and ultimately, to each other. The greatest wealth in life are the relationships we have with ourselves, others, and Spirit (Ishvara Pranidana). The beauty of life is that we get to LIVE it!! So, in the words of the prophet Bob Marley, “Wake up and live!”

The classes at Maya Yoga are rarely what you think they’re going to be. You may experience the best vinyasa flow style class you’ve ever done or you may have the greatest opening in your hips you could ever have imagined. The one thing you can always expect is to be guided in the direction of Yoga where you begin to wake up to the brilliance of who you truly are.

Come experience a yoga class like no other at Maya Yoga studio with Eddie and Nicki on Maui. NAMASTE and May Peace Reign Supreme In the Hearts of Humankind
