Julia Dujmovits - Austria

I am very grateful and fortunate to be able to practice yoga with Karin Kuhn (for three years now). Karin is a brilliantly skilled, enthusiastic and patient yoga instructor. I have always been impressed by her deep and vast knowledge of yoga. She personally and expertly shares her knowledge of anatomy, philosophy and spiritualism to all of her students. She enthusiastically guides her (more…)

Helen Leerman

There is so much need today for grounding! Yoga can be the medicine our mind, body and spirit are looking for but it takes a great teacher like Karin Kuhn to hold space for students to attune. Karin is a blessing to yoga students as her classes are meticulously sequenced and paced, her language is clean and precise, she takes the time to align students carefully before transitioning in and (more…)

Becca Greenband

Karin mastery of the art and science of yoga, and her deep passion for yoga comes through in each and every class she teaches.  I am so deeply grateful to have found a teacher who is so dedicated and devoted to her students, and to the practice of yoga in its fullest expression.  I truly am not sure I knew how to do ANY yoga poses properly before I found Karin. After only a few months of (more…)

Amy Unrau

“Inspired”, is the first word that comes to mind as a student of Karin’s for over 3 years now. Her practice and teachings she shares are uplifting and also grounded in the practicality of living yoga day by day. She has taught me not only how to trust myself and my strength, but also to take leaps of faith and trust the faith zone…on the mat and in the world. Everyday I am grateful for my friend, my teacher, my sister!

The first time I practiced under the guidance of Karin, I knew I had found a "teacher's teacher". Her knowledge in the... Yogic path is extensive and she shares it with grace and intelligence. Known for her uncanny wisdom and in-depth understanding of yoga anatomy and alignment, devotion to her community, Karin's teaching is informed by years of study, practice and experience. Since I moved from Maui, 2 oceans separates us sadly, but being able to follow her guidance online has given me a new sparkle again. Thank you Karin!read more

I'm new to yoga and very much enjoyed my Restorative Deep Stretch and Flow classes with Karin. She is an amazing,... talented and passionate instructor who is patient and kind. I am hoping she eventually sets up live stream or online classes as I would definitely subscribe. Being a visitor to Maui, I am only sad because I can't attend her classes regularly. I definitely intend to attend classes at her studio next time I am in Maui and will recommend friends who visit. Namaste!read more

Maha yoga and wellness center is my own personal safe haven and my life would be less without it. The yoga teachers at... the studio and the therapists at the wellness center always go above and beyond to meet the needs of everyone who walks through the door. Karin the owner is a gem amongst a sea of yoga instructors/studio owners and Ido’s classes make sure I stay in shape, bringing forth my best practice possible. Definitely the north shore of Maui’s best kept secret as far as yoga studios and wellness centers go. So very grateful they’ve stayed in business despite all of the challenges this year because it has unquestionably provided a sense of stability and comfort during these uncertain times.read more

I have been attending Karin's yoga practice for over 12 years. When she has been off island in the past I could never... find an instructor who was even close to her. She is clearly a "pro" and one of the nicest, funniest people you will ever meet! Love her!!read more

I was in Maui for a week and was able to practise daily at Maha Yoga. All of the teachers I experienced were excellent... and all had similar styles and cues so the entire experience was really seamless. Arrive early to get a spot as Karin's classes are incredibly popular - for good reason. I wish I could take this little studio home with me!read more

Had an amazing experience at Maha Yoga and with Karin as our instructor. I am from out of town and just started... practicing yoga in March but Karin and Maha Yoga was incredibly welcoming and the class was great even for someone as unskilled as myself. Karin does not shy away from helping you refine your pose and movements and I can easily say I am better at the practice today than when I came in due to her instruction.If you are in Maui, either for fun or live in the area, I cant recommend Maha Yoga and Karin enough!read more

Change your view by going upside down! 😛⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sirsasana 3 (Headstand version 3) is the 3rd variation of headstand where more and more weight falls to the head as the arms change position and place of support⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From top to bottom we align the crown of the head with the tailbone and the place between the feet and from the side we align the shoulders, hips, knees and ankles. This is first learnt and then well established in Tadasana (Mountain Pose) before we "flip" to stand on our heads⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BKS Iyengar was very clear when he said we have to learn to stand on our feet before standing on our heads!!!⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But when we do find that alignment in standing and bring that awareness to our inversion then balancing is easy and feels almost weightless through the head and neck⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In this inversion the cervical (neck) vertebrae must have its correct curve and the upper back must be open and strong and able to support the weight of the lower spine, hips & legs. This is something that normally happens in reverse - the legs, hips & lumbar spine support the upper back, neck and head so time and steady practice is needed to make sure our neutral posture is good⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Working slowly, in the presence of a highly experienced teacher is key to learning to do this pose safely 🙌⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
