About Mauna Yoga

Welcome to the Ohana!

Ohana means family and in this space, we hold each other like one

Mauna Yoga was born from a deep love for the practice, for presence, and for the inner journey that yoga invites. Rooted in tradition and guided by mindfulness, we offer a space where students are seen, heard, and respected. Our school weaves together the precision of Iyengar and centered yoga , the flow of Vinyasa, the discipline of Ashtanga, and the softness of stillness. Here, practice is not performance; it is a return to truth, to breath, to inner balance. We believe in education that nourishes both the mind and the heart and in teaching that honors the body, breath, and soul of each person. Through classes, courses, and trainings, we offer more than technique, we offer tools for transformation.

Our Vision

A deeper journey into the silence. A gentle return to the Self

• Heart and Soul
  The most essential question in yoga is, who am I?
  We are all on a journey to remember, to meet ourselves beyond thought, shape, or role.
• Love is the Practice
  Our true nature is love, and yoga is a path that brings us back to it.
  We came from love, and we return to it together, step by step, breath by breath.
• Mauna
  In Sanskrit, Mauna means silence, not as the absence of sound, but as a space of deep listening. This silence lives inside each of us. Our school is here to help you find it again.
