The latest episode of “5 Maya Minutes “ is on the subject of:
The Origins of modern Vinyasa Yoga

✨Newsflash: Vinyasa yoga is not an old system of yoga. In fact it’s a very young new style of yoga.

✨It’s my belief that modern Vinyasa yoga has its roots in Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga as taught by Sri K Pattabhi Jois

✨I also believe that it was Tim Miller of Encinitas California who taught something called Suryanamaskar C when he visited Yogaworks in LA that laid the foundation for the style of yoga that has come to be know as “Vinyasa Flow”

✨Listen here to learn more and let me know your thoughts

100 Hour Maya Yoga Teacher Training course here on Maui 100% live in person at Maya Yoga Studio on Maui

✨Philosophy & Asana is the theme and one of my favorites to teach- we will chant Yoga sutras and mantras everyday and study the meanings of them all in depth. And of course if you know me, you know we will be doing a strong Asana practice to start the day. I believe that is the best foundation from which to build your teaching. A personal practice is the wellspring to dip into and fill your cup as inspiration in your teaching.

✨Some other topics covered include meditation, pranayama, intelligent sequencing (true Vinyasa), hands in adjustments, and restorative yoga.

✨I’m super excited to announce that my amazing chef of a daughter, Maya Isabella Rehrer will be preparing healthy vegetarian lunches for us everyday as well. This is a throwback to old school Maya Yoga trainings where we served lunch. It’s back! Food is medicine and I believe it to be an essential aspect of your health and your yoga. It’s Ahimsa and saucha - Nonviolence and Purity of being - inside and out

✨I have accommodations available as part of the the training if you so require them. If you live on Maui obviously the cost is less than what’s listed. Message Rachel at [email protected] to discuss prices and options.

✨Continuing the tradition of opening the morning Asana classes to the public again as well. More info coming soon about that…

Mahalo Nui Loa and Thank you so very much to my teacher HS Arun Prashant Yogashraya for once again gracing Maya Yoga Studio with your presence, teachings, sense of humor and keen eye for detail. We loved it and as always can’t wait for your return.
✨I know we all have plenty to work on and practice from the work you shared. I will continue to share your teachings in my classes and workshops.
✨It was such a gift to be a student for a few days and immerse myself in all that brings. Please remember if you are teaching yoga to always remain a Student first. The parampara/ lineage is at the heart of the student teacher relationship.

✨And remember we are all human beings having a spiritual experience here on earth.

✨Thank you Arun and Mahalo to each and every student who showed up for this workshop 🙏🙏

Here’s the latest 5 Maya Minutes video

🕉️Today’s topic is on the subject of ALIGNMENT

Honestly I cannot even believe this is an issue
Once again “modern yoga “ has found yet another thing to complain about and have issue with.

🕉️If you know me, something I have always said is
The Alignment of the Body influences and affects the Alignment of the Mind.

And so here I am defending alignment once again.

🕉️Structure Creates Freedom 💣💣
