I discovered Yoga Awareness , Maui Hawaii, by 'accident' and have been a regular student ever since. After doing years (10-15) of yoga, I finally found the true meaning of yoga, not just the physical activity. Having said that, my body is in the best shape it has ever been in my life!\r
Raja yoga is for the mind, but I have to say the side effects on the body are amazing!\r
For me, this has been the 'closest to the source' yoga I have ever experienced. Not only do I have a regular yoga practice that I look forward to, but I have experienced amazing workshops and retreats in amazing locations and am in the middle of the year long Teacher Training program, which I am taking solely for self-development and to further my knowledge and depth of yoga. I have discovered finally, after all these years, that yoga is so much more than 'exercise' it is a teaching that allows me to be in control of my life, aware and living my life in the healthiest most balanced way. My teacher, Ted Surman, has been studying yoga in India with his teachers there, for the last 10 years and it shows. He brings the yoga of India to us directly and I feel I am actually doing the original yoga, rather than the 'trendy' styles that have been developed here in the west. \r
Every class, workshop, training or retreat I come to, I leave feeling lighter, taller, fitter, with a calm peaceful and stress-free mind. My life has improved dramatically from my yoga experience at Yoga Awareness,\r
I would highly recommend the yoga classes to anyone living in Maui and to anyone visiting that would like to just drop in and experience a deeper, more profound yoga class. \r
The retreats and Teacher Training are open to anyone and we have students coming from all over the world to join us. You can find the schedule of retreats and Training and classes on their website. \r
Looking forward to seeing you in class!
Pros: Excellent all around
