For a week now, I have been home from the amazing Costa Rica yoga retreat planned by Maha Bodhi, and every morning I check my pictures to make sure it wasn’t actually a dream. It was *that* amazing! Each day, I close my eyes and think about where I was with this profoundly talented teacher, the wonderful group of yogis she assembled, in one of the most gorgeous spots smack dab in the middle of the jungle. Every morning, we spent time practicing beautiful and challenging flows, then every afternoon discussed a wide range of provocative and inspiring topics, plus meditation and breath work. Maha was ready for any question, and down for any suggestions and ideas. She was, of course, incredibly accessible and fun for all of the participants. I also watched her interaction with pure strangers, and fell in love with her intrinsically generous and compassionate spirit. While this retreat was indeed real, I do have another dream. I hope I get to go to a second (and third…) yoga outing with Maha, and soon! ~ Lisa Parker NBC Investigative Journalist
“Maha lights up the room when she enters. I've never met a more passionate and kind soul. She taught me how to heal from my past and let go of anger. Maha is a master of yoga who has helped me become a fearless warrior. Through breathe work and intense vinyasa I've been able to find compassion and healing. I got more from her yoga retreat than I could have ever asked for. I can't wait to attend another one!” - Blake Sasnett, Vice President, Sales Development at Facebook
“The yoga retreat with Maha was one of the best experiences and times I’ve ever had! Her energy is so calming, uplifting and positive. Truly a gift to be in her presence and learn from her. I was an extreme beginner to the yoga practice prior to coming to the retreat and was very nervous about keeping up with everyone. However Maha helped guide me where needed and showed modifications for where I was at in my yoga practice; making me feel confident in doing yoga at my pace. I also received much needed emotional and spiritual healing while on this retreat. Highly recommend doing a retreat with Maha and I can’t wait for the next one!” - Vanessa Rivera, Model and Social Media Influencer
“Maha is such an amazing teacher. She is so knowledgeable and so easy to learn from. Her yoga teacher training was very hands-on and she really provides a great method for learning the material. I would 10000% recommend her to any new students looking to complete their 200 YTT and whenever Maha does a 300hr YTT I will be there!” ~ Alexia Reyes [RYT 200]
“Training with Maha was such a positive life-changing experience. I gained so much wisdom about yoga philosophy as well as the physical practice. She is always there to guide you every step of the way, truly an amazing teacher. Maha completely exceeded my expectations of what I hoped to gain from yoga teacher training. I can’t recommend her enough!” ~ Tina Abbaszadeh [RYT 200]
“This teacher training far exceeded my expectations. Not only did we learned how to hold the seat of the teacher for an hour long Power Flow class, but we dove deep into Yoga Philosophy, studied Yoga Anatomy (within a comprehensive easy to follow program), had weekly Dharma talks, learned the Business of Yoga, and SO MUCH more. I highly recommend Yogi Maha's Teacher Training to anyone looking to dive into the world of teaching equipped with relevant, updated curriculum and resources.” ~ Jennifer Walkingshaw [RYT 200]
”I believe this training is great for all levels of yogis—speaking personally as someone who identified as a beginner at the beginning of this yoga teacher training. Maha is especially great at creating an inspiring, safe, and inclusive space, allowing all her students to feel valued and comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to enroll in another training under Yogi Maha if the opportunity arose. As a proud and grateful student, I can't recommend Yogi Maha highly enough to anyone who is interested!” ~ Tiffany Yau [RYT 200]
"Maha has such an incredible teaching with a wonderful giving spirit. She has a calming beautiful voice that guides you throughout the practice." ~ Bernice Chao, RYT 200 and TEDxCulverCity President
”Maha has changed my life. She is an amazing teacher and you really feel her love in all that she does. I enjoyed Maha's thoughtful approach. The live streams are consistently a bright spot in my day. I am left vibrating higher and ready for the rest of the day.” ~ Elizabeth Camacho, Office Manager & Culture Associate at Tala
"She is amazing and I hope that you too get to experience her magic!” ~ Adri Siriwatt, Owner at Adri Prod Design
“Just listening to her talk, makes you believe that you can achieve all of your dreams. People like her can change the course of the world just by inspiring others to push outside their comfort zone and dig deeper in everything they do” ~ Sandra Burriton, LMFT
“I attended Maha's VIP leadership training because I am working on building my confidence as a woman business owner. I connect with Maha's journey of confidence building and am inspired by her success and continuing growth. Two things impacted me the most: the meditation that revealed, quite clearly, my limiting beliefs; and the language cheat sheet! So valuable. Immediately following the training I left town for a three-day writing retreat to work on my third book. Maha's voice came with me and I experienced a confidence I've been keeping at bay. I would recommend Maha's training to anyone seeking to break free from their inner critic. Maha is authentic and vulnerable, therefore extremely relatable. She walks her talk and that is someone we all need in our lives!” ~ Sue Skalicky, Founder & Owner of Plotline
“Excellent! She doesn't just have a cookie cutter class for corporate events, she works to incorporate your ideas/company values. She fit her talk track to the theme of our corporate offsite - pressing restart. Everything she mentioned during our yoga/meditation session called back to that central theme, and it gave us a great start to our morning while keeping the team focused”. ~ Vincent Catanzariti, Strategic Partner Manager at Google
“It was a joy to hear Maha speak as the key note headliner at the Women's Business Conference. Her powerful story, coupled with guided meditation, was inspiring and energizing. It encouraged me to consider using meditation as a tool to reinvigorate myself during the work day, especially as I spend long hours in our studio hand pouring candles. Highly recommend!” ~ Kelsey Fern, Owner at Fern Candle
“Maha came to the ND Women's Business Summit and did an amazing job! Her presentation was the highlight of the whole conference. I really enjoyed the way she slowed down time with her calm approach, happy personality, and informational presentation. Being a woman an in primarily male based workplace is a challenge, but I love knowing there are ways to make it to the top strategically. I look forward to learning many things from Maha in the future!” ~ Tae Mackner, Mortgage Loan Officer at Dakota Community Bank and Trust
“She provided me with powerful tools that have helped me stay grounded and significantly decrease stress levels at work. This, in turn, has allowed me to be more efficient and productive in my role, as well as more accessible to my team. Thank you, Maha!” ~ Marilyn Beardsley, Vice President - Real Estate Law at Albertsons
I are very picky about yoga classes and yoga instructors and Maha Bodhi is one of the best - not just the flow and movements but her words, voice and knowledge of the practice. ~ Heather Wetzler, Co-Founder Cue Career
