Eddie Modestini & Nicki Doane
Vinyasa Fusion: A Creative Blend of Vinyasa and Alignment

CODE: TTEM
Vinyasa Fusion was engendered on Maui, born of personal practice in the Krishnamacharya lineage. Maya Yoga classes are open to all levels, creating a classroom environment where the work is accessible to Every Body in the room, from beginners to advance. Vinyasa Fusion fuses the breath and flow of vinyasa style yoga with alignment principles, which support safety, postural integrity, and personal awareness in the practice. Classes are challenging yet spiritually uplifting, incorporating asana, philosophy, and poetry. Morning practice will be a strong vinyasa class with inversions and the afternoon session will include hip-openers and arm balances. We invite you to explore Eddie and Nicki’s approach to vinyasa yoga that strengthens all aspects of your being!
