Beautiful studio down the quieter road. We didnt take a class but rented the unused studio for an hour to do our own flow. Space was bright and calming. Will come back for a class soon!
I am so thankful that I chose the Maui Yoga Shala to complete my YTT 200 Hr. Training. Nadia, Shakta, Karin, Sage & Jennifer are all top tier instructors with decades of experience in their respective fields. I feel prepared to confidently teach yoga classes & basic breath work & meditation. I highly recommend this school for people who want to deepen their personal practice and/or become certified to teach. The location in Paia, Maui is lovely & the student housing option was great. I now have a new circle of beautiful humans who are family to me.Each teacher brings light & love to share with their students.Michelle Ocheltree
