Maya Yoga with Nicki Doane & Eddie Modestini

Devotion to yoga and the desire to share with and give back to the world are what motivate the teaching of Maya Yoga with Eddie Modestini and Nicki Doane. Yoga is spirit in action, and as Eddie and Nicki teach, they inspire people to find a place of spirit inside themselves, recognizing the profound connection between the self and spirit.

Eddie and Nicki have been studying yoga in India for years and have been deeply influenced by the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and B.K.S. Iyengar. Their unique approach to vinyasa yoga strengthens all aspects of your being through dynamic structural alignment, conscious breathing, and practical yogic philosophy, helping students find the deeper life of yoga. Eddie and Nicki strive to teach each student that yoga is about being fully present in the moment and discovering that we are truly all One. One Love. One People. One Heart. One Destination -- Our Higher Self.

Nicki Doane began practicing yoga in 1988 and started teaching in 1992. She first studied with Sri K Pattabhi Jois in 1991 in Mysore, India and cites him, along with Eddie Modestini, Gabriella Giubilaro, and Tim Miller among her most influential teachers. Although rooted in Ashtanga yoga, Nicki's teaching goes beyond the traditional. Her vinyasa classes combine asana, pranayama, philosophy, and poetry. Nicki's emphasis is on awareness: creating integrity within each pose that can be carried beyond the mat into daily life. Nicki teaches at yoga studios and conferences across the globe and is featured in two Ashtanga Yoga DVD's available through Gaiam Inc.

Eddie Modestini is what is known as a teacher's teacher. He has been a yogi since 1983 and has been teaching for that long as well. Eddie has been certified in Iyengar yoga and is now a student of Pattabhi Jois. He is well versed in both systems and has an amazing eye and holds the ability to read students' bodies and is a master of yoga therapy. "Through the experience of watching yoga heal me, I know that it has the capacity to heal the masses."

Together, their years of dedication and teaching experience has lead to a unique gift for imparting information as well as inspiration for the path of teaching. To work with Eddie and Nicki is to take advantage of a genuine opportunity to develop student/teacher relationship. Eddie and Nicki live on Maui with their two children and co-direct Maya Yoga Studio.
