YOGA TEACHER
Nadia Toraman
I wonder if those who voted in this category experienced cognitive dissonance, given that namaste, a word commonly exchanged among yogic practitioners, means “the divine in me recognizes the divine in you,” or something along those lines. Basically, we are all merely sparks, miniscule pieces, of Brahma, and thus the same and, paradoxically, simultaneously unique; the equivalent of one another. But whatevs. Nadia Toraman launched Maui Yoga Shala studio in 1996 in Kuau, and continues to reprezent (yeah, I spelled that with a z) by way of Maui Yoga, a practice she developed using a blend of Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga. Plus she offers a kama‘aina rate, which is always appreciated. [KB]
