The instructors were all amazing and highly attuned to the students in the class. The energy and expertise they bring, along with the sense of culture and propriety, which seems to come from all the members of the staff, makes this place really special. The Maui Yoga Shala is a wonderful place to strengthen and heal your body. I can’t wait to go back!

The Maui Yoga and Dance Shala is a place for healing and expressing the beauty of the human spirit. Located in the former historic Paia Train Depot along with our Island Fresh Cafe, we strive to be a portal for all seekers to connect deeply with their own bodies and each other, and move as their hearts desire. Nadia Toraman founded the original Maui Yoga Shala over 23 years ago in Paia out of a desire to share her passion for yoga. She went on to start Hawaii yoga teacher trainings, retreats, musical events, and to host well known teachers from around the globe for yoga workshops. We have yoga and dance teachers of many styles and backgrounds, providing for the needs of a wide variety of students and the essence remains the same – a strong love for the practice that continues today. The Maui Yoga and Dance Shala welcomes students from all around the world on its 200HR yoga teacher training. Come to the station, leave your baggage out the door, move, breathe, and explore your body and soul, and enjoy the ride of your life in greater grace and joy.
