This training was truly amazing and transformative —highly recommended for anyone seeking a holistic, structured yoga teacher training, whether to teach or deepen your practice like I did!

The program includes yoga history, philosophy, methodology, postures, meditation, breathing techniques & sutra and mantra in Sanskrit, anatomy & alignment for safe, effective practice, teaching skills & practices, and beyond.

A couple of highlights:
• Diverse, knowledgeable instructors from multiple lineages & blissful mornings chanting and learning philosophy on the beach & methodology in nature.
• Healthy, nourishing meals at the in-house café & convenient lodging in the center of Paia town, around 18-minute walking to studio.

I am beyond pleased with the training, my heartfelt gratitude to Nadia and all the incredible instructors—Shakta, Dawn, Madelyn, Jacqueline, Ashley, and the entire team for making this experience so memorable and valuable. I am looking forward to going back for more training and lessons in the future!

I love this place! I attend the yoga Shala in Paia whenever I find myself on Maui. The location is central in Paia town but at the same time away from the hustle and bustle. A little oasis! The energy surrounding the studio is so relaxing and energizing at the same time. Peaceful and calm yet inspiring. I always feel restored after my classes. Chanel's yin classes put me in a state of zen and kind of in an in between space .. relaxed but still aware . It's a wonderful feeling. I felt very held in this space. The other instructors are also so wonderful. The community is amazing. Whenever I come here I instantly feel as though I'm home. Mahalo and Aloha Nadia, Shakta and Chanel

Also get yourself a delicious latte, smoothie or some phenomenal eggs benny from island fresh the restaurant beside the Shala! Everything is local and so yum 😍

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.

I am SO glad I listening to the YES I felt in my heart when I found the Shala online while looking for where to train. My Yoga Teacher Training experience here was absolutely life transformative. I anticipated learning how to teach a yoga class, but received much more. It really is a homecoming to the truth and love that is all of our true nature. From morning meditation and chanting on the beach, classes that deepened my embodied understanding of Yogic Philosophy, trauma informed teaching methodology, hiking meditations, all the way through to practicum, the training was well rounded and transformational.

We (my husband and I) stayed at the house with the other trainees, which I would highly recommend! It was wonderful to cook together in the evenings and laugh under the stars. We created life-long friendships. Being so close to the ocean, I was able to watch the sunrise every morning and swim in the beautiful waters of Baldwin in the evening. Maui is an absolutely perfect place to train, the island is magnificent, healing, nourishing.

I highly recommend joining the Shala Ohana. Shakta, Nadia, Jennifer, and all of the teachers and staff are deeply kind. Call them if you have any questions- they are so helpful!

I really enjoyed my three weeks at the Maui Yoga Shala for the 200 hour yoga teacher training in Paia. I stayed at the rental house, and that was great, too. It was very close to the restaurants, shops and beach. I had a clean and spacious room. I liked the 20 minute walk to the Shala with my classmates everyday.
I think the best part was the teachers. We learned a variety of topics and each teacher had their own individual style. Shakta, the Studio Manager, was very welcoming and we had adventures every Thursday. Nadia, the owner, is an excellent teacher with high expectations. Her love for yoga shines through. She is intuitive and strait forward, so you know when she gives you a complement, you've earned it. My group of other classmates were also great. I really enjoyed my experience and hope to visit again soon. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to do a yoga teacher training immersion.

The 200 hour yoga teacher course at Maui Yoga Shaka was a phenomenal life changing experience which I will cherish for a lifetime. The experience went beyond my expectations and it created a path or conduit, or practice to connect with true happiness-pure awareness of yoga.
“Yoga means union-the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day to day life and endows skill in performance of one’s actions” as per BKS Iyengar.
That’s what the instructor’s, staff,-Nadia,Shasta and the whole team imparted in us and we are eternally grateful . They have raised the bar and we will try to live and practice as a yogi/yogini according to their standards creating a safe environment for students to practice,learn, and reap the benefits.

This is a great space to enjoy a morning flow! 10:30 classes are a great way to catch a gentle vinyasa flow without having to rush out of the house in the morning. Whether you have the day off, or are on vacation 10:30 classes are very relaxing & then you can enjoy some food in the cafe afterwards. Plus pets are friendly and bring lots of smiles :)

My experience at the Maui Yoga Shala in Paia, HI was nothing short of incredible! I completed my 200 hr YTT in November 2021. The entire Maui Yoga Shala team: Nadia, Shakta, Dawn, Madeline, Jennifer, and Sage were all genuine, knowledgeable, and welcoming. My fellow trainees are now people I can call friends for life. I fell in love with Maui. Paia is a down to earth fun town. The training facility is walking distance to all the best restaurants and healthy, natural supermarket in Paia. They also organize day trips to see other beautiful parts of the island and do yoga in nature. Most mornings start with a meditation and philosophy at Baldwin beach. I would recommend this training to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice and gain the skills and confidence needed to be a great yoga teacher.

My experience at the maui yoga shala has been nothing less than incredible. I completed the September 200 hr yoga teacher training and it was spectacular. What made the training so special was all of the incredible teachers and mentors you get to learn from. Highly recommend.

Teacher spotlight: Rianne Vestuto. I highly recommend taking her class. Her flow is the perfect mix of yin and yang & so intentionally put together. Your body, mind & spirit will definitely thank you. Her teaching style really made everything click for me and I couldn’t be more grateful.

If you’re thinking of taking a class or doing a YTT at the shala, DO IT! You have nothing to lose and so much to gain.

I completed the June 2021 YTT with Maui Yoga Shala. It was an amazing experience, full of learning, love and beautiful energy. The training gave me way more then expected: not only how to teach yoga, but also how to do it safely, with passion and care for the students; what philosophy of yoga is about; anatomy of poses; singing mantras and getting to know myself in order to heal and grow. Sending much aloha to all the teachers!

I completed the intensive 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in April 2021.
PROS:
1. The teachers were amazing. Huge amounts of gratitude to Micole F., Jennifer B., Dawn D., Rianne V., and Madelyn R. for their hard work getting us ready to teach. They were knowledgeable, authentic, and always made sure to check in with the students at the start of each class to see if we had any questions or concerns. I felt extremely cared for every step of the way and look forward to studying with any/all of these women in the future.
2. Maui - it's gorgeous. The two hikes we went on with the program were incredible.

CONS: the program is (poorly) run by a woman named Nadia T. Her disorganization and incompetence as a business owner as well as unprofessional behavior was clear from the beginning of the program and continued throughout. Her actions and words absolutely brought a dark cloud over what was supposed to be an amazingly positive experience. Her behavior was so egregious toward one person in particular that this woman decided to leave her training 4 days early (with a full refund.)

Once I got to Maui I spoke to MANY people (former students, colleagues, neighbors) who had very similar experiences with Nadia but unfortunately have been unwilling to write an honest review. I'm writing this review because I truly feel that people deserve to know the truth : had I known, I would have spent my hard earned money somewhere else. This program was VERY expensive and did not match what was promised.

Some examples of the ridiculousness that ensued. Anything in quotes is something I personally heard her say OR taken directly from group text thread that Nadia has us on (Here is the FIRST example of unprofessionalism: discussing one student's issues with the entire group!)

1.The students were made to move out of the house midway through our 3 week training so the house could be "fumigated for termites, mice, and cockroaches'. 1st, why did this have to be done DURING the program? It couldn't wait a week so that our experience wouldn't have been so disruptive? 2nd, Nadia's plan was to move us to a hostel for 2-3 days but when 2 of the trainees said they weren't comfortable with that living arrangement (COVID-19 is still a problem and there is no way to know when the people in the hostel were last tested) she found us another place to stay but because "it was nicer/more expensive" she charged both of the students $300 extra (total $600). Nadia should have found SAFE (by everyones' standards) living arrangements - it's her responsibility as the business owner. When the arrangements she found cost her more $$$ she passed on that cost to young women who were too scared/intimidated to stand up to her and tell her it was unacceptable.

2. Myself and 1 other trainee paid for a private room (approx $1000 more than a shared room) and while I did receive this private room in the temporary housing, the other trainee was told she needed to share due to space reasons. Although unfair, she agreed to share but asked for a partial refund for the 3 days since she wasn't getting what she paid for (a private room). She was told that she was "ridiculous for asking" and "too picky."

3. Post fumigation, we moved back into the house and there was a VERY FOUL smell of dead rodent in 1 of the bedrooms. The trainee staying in that room contacted Nadia to ask for alternative housing as she could not bear the smell (it was terrible) and felt it wasn't healthy/safe for her to be living in close proximity to a decaying rodent. Nadia's response was "it's not that bad, just leave the windows open" and then when met with protest said "I suggest you find yourself a place you will like. The way the energy with you is you may come up and say that place was not good, the place was this, the place was that.", IT IS NOT OK to tell a trainee to find herself housing and then disrespectfully ridicule her about "her bad energy" and her "exaggeration that it's poison and dangerous."

There are MANY more examples but due to space limitations on reviews, I am unable to list them all :-(

Such an incredible experience! Life-changing in the most beautiful way! I can't say enough positive things about this YTT. From the people to the location to the energy, it was simply incredible from start to finish. I learned so much about asana, pranayama, philosophy, and anatomy, and truly feel like I got the most comprehensive and immersive Yoga education possible. I really appreciated the opportunity to practice teaching real classes toward the end of the training, and I felt 100% prepared to teach on my own once I returned home. The Maui Yoga Shala is a beautiful, peaceful, positive environment with an incredibly knowledgable, welcoming staff. I made life-long friendships with the other trainees and we truly became a family throughout the duration of training. Nadia and Shakta are radiant guiding lights that have truly impacted my life and I am eternally grateful for the energy, knowledge, aloha spirit, and love that they shared with me throughout the YTT program. I would highly recommend completing a training program at the Maui Yoga Shala and I can't wait to go back and visit my Yoga family soon! Mahalo... Namaste... Aloooha! Xoxo

Great community place for yoga and great massage. It's up the hill from frenetic Paia, easier parking, relaxed atmosphere, chill people, even a little cafe and music. Historic train depot is cute location, very relaxing place to get great bodywork from a talented male or female therapist! Yummy kombucha and local artisans featured as well.

The other massage locations in Paia seem to be rushed, high stress affairs, impossible parking to boot. This one is much easier to deal with and just chill out.

I tried a few classes there and loved it! I tried Nadia's class the first time. She is an amazing teacher. Highly experienced, been teaching for over 20 years. It felt like a complete practice. As i practice Ashtanga back home. She started slow, getting our breath in order. Then it got a bit intense sweaty asanas. It has all the elements you are looking for in a yoga class. She is very knowledgable and makes the class fun. With her magical goddess vibes! Felt stronger when I walked out of the class.

I also tried Tara's infra red yoga, it was hot and sweaty! I had tried a few classes of hot yoga before. But her energy levels are amazing.She takes you through this journey and gives you a good work out!

I attended the Feb. 2015 200 hour teacher training. Nadia along with the rest of the staff welcomed me with their warm aloha spirit. The 3 week training was mostly taught by Karin Kuhn and morning practicum with Nadia. Karin has a true passion for yoga and it absolutely shows in her teaching. She has a way with articulating and explaining the curriculum that you can easily connect to and make sense of. The training was intense physically and mentally each day but all the course content was engaging and applicable. Attending the Maui Aloha classes with Nadia each morning was a wonderful way to start the day. You can feel her positive spirit and loving heart. Her knowledge and experience shine through in her classes. I spent a decent amount of time outside of class each night studying & doing homework. That being said, if you would like to see and do things on the Island set extra time aside after the training is completed to explore. The accommodations were amazing with plenty of space for all the trainees in the house. The house was also in a great location to easily walk to the studio and Paia town. I really enjoyed my training and feel that I got an outstanding education here. I had an awesome experience and made lifelong friends as well.

Maui Yoga Shala is an amazing studio. They have such a variety of classes ranging from Yin to Vinyasa Flow. You are sure to find a class to suite your needs. They even offer dance classes catering to children and adults. There is also an excellent massage therapist and waxing available on site! Above all else the atmosphere at the Maui Yoga Shala makes you feel at home. With lounge couches and smiling faces greeting you...it's easy to spend hours here! I definitely recommend this studio to anyone!!!

This is one of the most beautiful and loving studios I have ever practiced at. The community here is incredibly inviting and has come to feel like family. The studio offers a wide array of classes from fun and upbeat to calming and meditative. Every instructor has something different to offer and gives individual attention to all of the students no matter what level they are at. There is something so genuine about this studio that has kept me coming back daily to learn, grow, and walk out with a smile.

I am a pro kiteboarder and have been doing yoga with the Paia Yoga Shala for the last year and I am very happy and pleased with the service. From the instructors to the owner and the people who work at the Shala, they all take part in this great center that allows me to do yoga at any time of the day since they have a very detailed schedule with multiple styles of yoga and dance to choose from.

Definitely a 5 stars location.

Maui Yoga Shala is simply amazing. The instructors are the best you will find anywhere in the world. I came to Maui looking to better my health and spiritual being, and after finding Nadia and her staff at Yoga Shala everything stated to change in such a positive direction. I can truly say Maui Yoga Shala changed my life. Starting my mornings with Emilia in Gentle Aloha yoga classes allowed me to learn the correct way to move into poses and feel confident in my ability to do yoga. Not to mention she is hilarious and starts your day off with a great laugh!! I was also fortunate enough to stumble into Skys class one morning and experience his form of yoga and meditation. This class alone changed my life and tough me so much about meditating and connecting with a quiet space inside myself. Then there is the phenomenal Severns she is a beauty all her own. World traveled an very experienced in her yoga practice. She pushes my body and thought me to breath into positions I never though possible. Her beautiful energy and amazing spirit guides you though the class with confidence, comfort and ease. If you live on Maui or are on vacation make time to take a class it will transform your body and spirit in such a satisfying way!

With the widest variety of yoga and dance classes on the island, the Maui Yoga Shala is really an unique place. Both studio locations have wonderful teachers, and a supportive, relaxed and encouraging atmosphere. I've met so many great people at the Shala, and feel really fortunate to have discovered this place. A big Mahalo to Nadia for all that you do, and to Shakta and the rest of the Ohana. Definitely check it out, whether you are a resident or visitor!

I LOVE Maui Yoga Shala! What an incredible place to begin my journey deeper into this beautiful practice which we call yoga, unity. The Shala creates this unity for the world and for the community of Maui bringing amazing people together every day to practice so much love. Nadia Toraman is the amazing owner of the Maui Yoga Shala. She is so incredibly dedicated to her work and her community. She exudes so much beauty and grace that flows through her classes and teachings with such ease, truly an inspiration! She has beautiful teachers that are such huge a part of both of her studios in Paia and Wailea. Shakta, Jonath Padilla and Sarah Callaham are a few that I had the opportunity to learn from that made this experience whole. The Shala also offers amazing workshops with teachers from around the world. I truly feel so blessed to have chosen Maui Yoga Shala to obtain my 200 hour Teacher Training Certificate Registered with the Yoga Alliance. This was the experience of a lifetime and a new beginning for all of the creative channels that have been waiting to be put into One, Yoga. Blessings and Namaste!

Maui Yoga Shala is an incredibly unique experience! I immediately felt at home when i entered the space. I walked into the boutique area before class and checked out some of the apparel while i waited for practice to start and the collection is very stylish ranging from super yogi to super beachy! The hang out area is very welcoming with 2 sofas made of cozy pillows and water readily available. Nadia and her buddy Roscoe (her super friendly pup) immediately acknowledged me showing interest in where i was traveling from and the type of practice that i enjoy. She is not only the owner of this amazing little yogi haven, she also conducts multiple classes a day. Her class was exactly what i needed - a balance of heart racing core strength mixed in with hamstring and hip openers with live acoustic music!! super blissful :) there was no escaping breaking a sweat in this class - and its not even the hot yoga room!! i am so happy that i was able to find this amazing place to practice while in Maui!! I was also lucky enough to catch a live acoustic music set at the studio after hours! - it turns out, the studio also supports local talent by booking intimate shows here! what a treat! :) if you are a devoted, traveling yogi, this is the place to practice in Maui!! Say hi to Nadia for me!! :)

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Maui Yoga & Dance Shala. It is a place where everyone is welcome and you feel this as soon as you walk in. It's a little bubble of joy, friendship, love and transformation. Nadia and Shakta work extremely hard to keep this vibe going.

I teach dance classes here, and I have to say that the people that come through are consistently lovely humans! I take classes as well, and I can attest that all of the other teachers here are dedicated and inspiring. Come be a part of this beautiful community! :-)

As one of the senior teachers at the Maui Yoga Shala, I teach public classes and the 200hr Yoga Teacher Trainings. Maui Yoga Shala is a gem on the North Shore which draws an eclectic mix of people from all around the world!! They are drawn to the Shala due to the real spirit of ALOHA our teachers and staff embrace as well as the desire to receive physical and spiritual instruction from some of the island's best teachers. With a great mix of classes we offer a bit of everything to cater to everyone. I could carry on and talk about our beautiful teaching spaces, and fun classes but I would really just like to give a shout out to all our students since it is YOU that help to make our space so very special. Students are always welcoming to others, considerate, inspiring and rooted in a strong desire to make positive changes in their health and everyday lives. You all help take the message of YOGA out into the world so MAHALO for being a part of our OHANA (family)!!! See you on the mat!

Probably the best community vibe I have found on Maui. So glad to have access to these great practices in the amazing town of Paia. Nadia, Shakta, Carly, Winston, and everyone else who are staples of the community have provided great work-trade options as well, so that nobody must go without yoga or dance! Namaste!

Maui Yoga Shala is an experience of a lifetime. You will enjoy the diversity of teachers, classes and styles offered here everyday. Enjoy the opportunity to learn from the best teachers on the island. I was a trainee during the month of August and had the best time meeting new people, being challenged in my personal yoga practice and exploring the foundations of what it really means to be a Yogi. Thanks to Nadia and Karen for being amazing conduits of inspiration, passion and power. The Shala has a commitment to integrity and responsibility both on personal levels and within the community.

I love this place! The Wailea studio is bright and airy with an ever-growing schedule. I have taken various classes with different teachers and they're all good. Sarah C deserves a special shout out, her instruction is clear and her attention to detail and focus on alignment make me work harder. Really a superior class.

A big mahalo and namaste to everyone at Maui Yoga Shala

My experience with Nadia and all of her staff and students at Maui Yoga and Dance Shala has been nothing short of heavenly...I instantly felt at home, appreciating everyones openness, flexibility, kindness, support and friendship on every occasion...Finding a space like this, where everyone just flows, and loves, not only one another but what they are doing here, should be a more common occurrence in our society today. The Shala offers such a beautiful and accessible array of classes on a daily basis, that making classes regularly is easy and effortless. There truly is magic in this place....if you slow down, breath deep, observe your surroundings and remain present and thankful in your experience, there is no way that you won't have the pleasure of experiencing it. It's no wonder this treasure that we call Maui Yoga and Dance Shala is alive and thriving on a continual basis. I for one am thankful for it everyday...you will be too. Namaste.

One of the best experiences of my life! I have just completed my Yoga Teacher Certification at the Maui Yoga Shala. I highly recommend anyone who is looking to complete their 200 hours and get certified to becoming a yoga instructor. Nadia Toraman is truly an inspirational, amazing woman. Nadia is such a kind, open-hearted,beautiful soul. She opens her door to anyone seeking their highest potential, spiritual growth, and yogi pathway. After class I would stroll down Baldwin Beach, and submerse myself into the refreshing Pacific Ocean <3 All of the teachers here are incredibly talented and passionate about what they do. Karin is one of the most gifted, knowledgable, delightful teachers, who I spent most of my time learning philosophy, mythology, anatomy, and authentic spiritual teachings. Shakta is a friendly, wise, big-hearted chanting and meditation teacher, who showed me how to create peace (Shanti) into my practice, but most of all my life. Sarah Callaham is highly active, fun yoga, pilatates instructor who taught our group of trainees correct alignment, and structure to our yoga poses and to our posture. Everything about the Maui Yoga Shala is Magic. It is a true gem in the islands of luscious green love and mystery.

Nadia's class is amazing! Live music, a great workout, and daily enlightenment at her 9:30 class. The rest of the Shala crew is super helpful as well. You can talk to Shakta at the front desk about anything doing with yoga or life. Love this Shala. Will come back every time I visit Maui!

This is the only place where I know that does Live Music Performance and aromatherapy during Nadia's Aloha Live Yoga classes. Also love Andrea's Belly dance classes and Noe's Tahitian classes, a great workout for my core and abs. Maui Yoga Shala is a vibrant community with students, teachers, and staff hanging out together in a friendly environment. You can always run over next door to get fresh coconuts and fruit juices anytime. Really close to Paia town and the beach. Pretty relaxing place ;)
