The Maya Yoga Method with Nicki Doane has been a life changing experience for me. After working with master yogi Nicki, my personal practise as well as my teaching has evolved to an even more authentic space of growth, strength, courage, confidence, and healing. Outside of the yoga, after spending time at Maya Yoga in Maui, even my relationship with my family, myself and with Source/God/Spirit has blossomed to a deeper level. Nicki’s authentic nature paired along with her passion and deep respect to the lineage of yoga and her teachers and her teachers teachers is unmatched. Her dedication to her personal practise and to her students runs deeper than her instagram page followers. My awareness changed when she opened up the world of yoga in a new way, all of the systems of yoga, and how we can marry them together to create deeper awareness and healing within. The strength and discipline of her Ashtanga roots and intelligence of the body’s alignment and medicine through her B.K.S Iyengar training is harmonized together through her Maya Method. I feel challenged and completely supported at the same time, if you ever have the chance to learn from Nicki, I absolutely recommend you jump on the opportunity. You will be delightfully surprised by her resolution, kind and humourous character with a gift for story telling and holding space for love and healing to flourish. I hold deep gratitude for Nicki, Midge🐶, Kiki 🐶 and the space she has...
Read moreNicki is hands-down one of the best. She is a real teacher and I consider her my teacher. Her classes are thoughtful. She is so intelligent and caring and it shows with her attention to detail and helping each student with their own bodies. She doesn't just run through a fun flow to make people happy and get a good sweat or workout. She supports you in what you need to work on. She will challenge the most seasoned and support the most novice yogis. She also has an abundant knowledge in Yoga Philosophy and the spiritual (the most important!) teachings of yoga which she generously shares with her students. I've learned so much in her classes, it's priceless. If it wasn't for her, I likely would still have an injury from over-stretching in other teachers classes- which she shared with me a few tips to help me get through the healing. On top of her just being awesome- her studio is the most beautiful, well-kept, yoga studio with stunning ocean views AND props AND a rope wall- it's a retreat experience...
Read moreNicki by far is one of the best teachers in the business of yoga. Her attention to detail for injury prevention while doing the yoga practice is simply amazing. It is rare to meet a yoga instructor that can approach all body types and specifically those who are suffering from pain and injuries. Her instructor trainings are worth every penny. Whether you are coming her to learn how to teach yourself OR if you are coming to her to take classes, just know that you are in good hands and will receive the tools that you need to achieve your goals. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced level practitioner, she doesn't treat you like a number, she treats you like family and every person with her is treated equally and fair no matter what level they are on with the path to yoga. Go see her. You WILL NOT be...
