Maui Yoga ~ Welcome to Yoga in Maui

May you become like the lotus rooted in, yet growing out of,
the clear and muddy waters of life to rise above the blossom

The practice of yoga near the beach in Kihei, Maui will consist of a beginning centering- a moment of stillness in which we begin to focus on the breath and acknowledge the body. Yoga in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii.

Following the centering will be the breath work known as Pranayama. Pranayama is used to bridge the mental with the physical bodies, thus enabling a deeper connection within the entire being. There are several pranayamic practices that will be explored. The class will then move into the physical part of yoga known as Hatha Yoga, where asanas or postures are introduced and woven together forming a vinyasa or a flow. A restorative and rejuvenating posture known as savasana will complete the Yoga practice on the beach in Kihei, Maui. A closing centering will bring a completion to the entire practice in which we will go back to the breath and acknowledgment of the body. The entire practice is encouraged with an awareness on the breath and an honor to the body.

Namaste - I honor the light within you.

Now we might call to mind once again the central principle of yoga practice: the mind is transformed only by direct, systematic, and careful personal investigation of experience. Not by concepts about reality. Not by metaphysical constructs. Alas, there is no way to understand the afflicted mind state of craving, aversion, and delusion without exploring our own immediate experience of them.
-Stephen Cope

Every person has the same potential for inner tranquility, but negative forces such as fear, suspicion, selfishness and self-hatred can destroy inner peace.

Nothing would be done at all if we waited until we could do it so well that no one could find fault with it.

Within the city of Brahman, which is the body, there is the heart, and within the heart there is a little house. This house has the shape of a lotus, and within it dwells that which is to be sought after, inquired about, and realized. Even so large as the universe outside is the universe within the lotus of the heart. Within it are heaven and earth, the sun, moon, the lightning and all the stars. Whatever is in the macrocosm is in this microcosm also.
-Chandogya Upanishad

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
-Patanjali
