Mauna, a deeper journey into silence
About Mauna Yoga
Welcome to the Ohana!
About Mauna
Mauna began as a yoga school and has naturally evolved into a broader space dedicated to movement, presence, and conscious living. Rooted in yoga practice and guided by mindfulness, Mauna offers an environment where practice is lived with attention, care, and simplicity.
Here, practice is not about performance. It is a return to breath, to clarity, and to inner balance.
Mauna brings together the precision of Iyengar and centered yoga, the continuity of Vinyasa, and the discipline of Ashtanga, while gradually opening to complementary disciplines such as Pilates, strengthening, mobility, and functional training. All practices are approached as ways to cultivate refined body awareness, movement intelligence, and a deeper sense of presence.
Practice at Mauna is serious without being rigid, and deep without being heavy. It unfolds in good company, with a sense of shared presence, good humor, and mutual respect, because learning also happens when we feel at ease, supported, and genuinely welcomed.
Through classes, courses, and trainings, Mauna offers more than techniques. It offers tools to support transformation, autonomy, and embodied understanding within a space where practice is shared, lived, and enjoyed together.
Our Vision
A deepening into silence.
A gentle return to what is essential.
Mauna understands practice as a path of awareness, one that invites us to listen more carefully, to move with integrity, and to meet life with greater presence.
Heart of the Practice
One of the most essential questions in yoga is simple and timeless:
Who am I?
Practice invites us to explore this question beyond concepts, shapes, or roles. Through breath, movement, attention, and relationship, we learn to meet ourselves more honestly.
Love is not something to achieve; it is the ground we return to through practice. Yoga, for us, is a path of remembering, shared in good company, 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. A silence that is alive, present, and attentive.
This silence already exists within each of us. Mauna exists to help create the conditions where it can be heard again.
Practice Beyond the Studio
Mauna naturally extends beyond the studio space into the outdoor environment. Time spent in nature through hiking, trail running, climbing, surfing, or simple meditation outdoors is an essential part of the path.
These experiences reflect the understanding that movement, when practiced with attention and care, can become a bridge between inner awareness and everyday life.
Through this integrated approach, Mauna creates meaningful and complete learning experiences that support both personal and collective wellbeing.
