Nicki nicki is teaching in LA next weekend at yogaworks santa monica come!! Posted at 4:10 AM Mar 8 view more
Devotion to a yoga practice and the desire to share with and give back to the world are what motivate the teaching at the Maya Yoga Studio on Maui. In what has come to be regarded as unique in yoga today, Eddie and Nicki teach almost all of their classes together. They are able to attend to each student individually while still keeping the pace of the practice. They have learned this method of instruction from their teacher, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, who has also helped them to find, through practice, the deeper life of yoga. Too often in the west, spirituality is extracted from the practice of yoga. This denies practitioners its' greatest gift — the opportunity to truly get to know ourselves. The classes at Maya Yoga strive to teach each student that yoga is about being fully present in the moment and discovering that we are truly all One.
One Love. One People. One Heart. One Destination —
Our Higher self.

Wow, I'm bummed!! I didn't know your workshop at Santa Monica Yoga Works got cancelled until I got to the front desk.... makes me so sad cause I gave up $1,000 dollars of hard work and drove 2 hours to be there...
I really don't feel like putting any more effort to your lack of communication. u knew i was coming... i guess u r busy... and "they" can handle it. embarassing for you... I'm allowed to be upset... cuz I am... :)
If you believe in preserving our planet and keeping it green then help deliver the message by downloading my new single "Land of Green" on iTunes. Outward change starts from people like us. One Love, One Heart, One Destiny. Many thanks!

Hi Nikki and Eddie, Hope you are well. I'm still in Damascus and yes, teaching yoga! It's been an amazing experience. On my way to Purple Valley. Any travel tips for my first time to India? Wish you were going to be there! Aloha, Hillary
Thanks for the awesome classes this weekend! It was so great to practice in the sunshine. Do you think the Canada Geese were kept in a crate backstage and released for effect? That was pretty cool. Your class in the studio helped me a lot...my hips and psoas seriously thank you. Peace!
"Many people have traveled this world with different dreams, purposes and aspirations. Many are masters, teachers, inventors and followers. They were all sent by the creator of the universe to achieve one just course; “global peace and unification.” But this course cannot be achieved without unconditional love, which possesses the magical powers of the Divine for transformation. When the human race embraces love unconditional, then the lost will be found, the naked will be clothed, the hungry will be fed, the bombs will be destroyed and there will be peace and unity which will make us all to speak one language, “LOVE”. Let love abide" ~ Philip Brown
Coming up to your birthday... tread tenderly with reflection, filled with Light, Love and Serenity...May your life be filled with many more adventures...xZ
