MAHA Yoga and Wellness

aloha and welcome to MAHA!

I'm so excited for you to join our international community of yoga lovers and health seekers :)

MAHA - Sanskrit for "great, mighty, strong"

This speaks to our mutual curiosity and commitment to optimizing mind-body-spirit wellness as well as the respect and encouragement we extend to others as they explore their own unique journey to this goal and living their best lives.

This is where we get to gather, study, practice, and most importantly apply what we learn to feel healthy, strong, energized, ready to live our most joyful, fulfilling and successful life.

THE MAHA MANIFESTO: Together we choose

to let the teachings and practices nourish us of body, mind and spirit

not to compare our journey to that of another and in doing so recognize our own capacity for greatness

to step outside our comfort zone and into our growth zone as we embody our best selves

personal responsibility, discipline, courage, compassion, patience and faith on our journey as we work through any natural doubt, resistance or fear

to stay open and humble in order to receive and learn

to stay honest with ourselves where we are in the moment and choose progress over perfection

to respect, inspire and empower others along their way

to celebrate milestones and victories - both ours and others

not to take ourselves or the practice too seriously - laughter is good for the soul!

Hi I'm Karin! Originally from South Africa but I've been living on Maui for the last 18 years with my husband and 4 fur babies. 

I'm a lover of beach walks, reading good books by the pool, Formula 1, cool coffee shops and great coffee and travelling with my best bud, my Mum.

I've also spent 20 years in the health and wellness Industry as a Yoga Teacher, Advanced Biomechanics & Corrective Exercise Specialist, Nutrition and Health coach. 

I've owned and managed yoga studios in Cape Town and on Maui. I've worked with athletes, executives, weekend warriors, busy mum's and stiff yogis from all around the world and been blessed to guide hundreds of yoga students to take the seat of Yoga Teacher.

MAHA YOGA AND WELLNESS grew out of the weaving together of the ancient wellness wisdom teachings of yoga and the exciting and rapidly evolving sciences of health, fitness and nutrition.

My signature teaching methodology is rooted in traditional Hatha Yoga Trainings and made deeper and richer as I weave in my training and experience in these diverse but interconnected fields.

I like to teach in a down to earth and pragmatic way so that you apply what you learn in your daily life.  

My intention is to help my students and clients access and amplify their most optimized and natural state of wellbeing.  

My desire is to guide, inspire and empower you to think deeper, reach higher and transform the way you show up on the mat and in life.

My vision is to make this virtual studio a space where I can share all I've learnt (and will still be learning) to help you succeed in your health and wellness goals.  

I'll drawing from the information, tools and strategies I personally use to be my healthiest, strongest and happiest in order to help you build the health habits and wellness lifestyle of your dreams so you can look and feel your best and live your most wildly successful life.

I look forward to beginning this journey with you!
