Beyond the Dream: A Journey to truth

Our story began with the pursuit of the conventional American dream—college, corporate jobs, family, settling down. Yet, deep down, we both knew this path wasn't fulfilling. So, we embarked on a journey of self-discovery, traversing the globe, exploring various careers, delving into philosophy, and immersing ourselves in diverse spiritual traditions.

It was on this quest that we found solace in the practice of yoga. Fate brought us together at a yogic fire ceremony in California, and within days, we embarked on a spontaneous cross-country odyssey. Our travels led us through 32 states, encountering hidden saints and seekers of truth along the way.

Upon landing in Maine, we felt a profound connection to the land and decided to put down roots. Nestled in the woods, we found sanctuary in an old cape cod, where we cultivated gardens and embraced a simpler way of life.

Inspiration struck, and the vision for Maha Yoga Shala was born. With love and dedication, we built our sanctuary, and soon, our doors opened to a community hungry for spiritual nourishment.

At Maha Yoga Shala, we share our passions—yoga asana, kirtan, mala making, chai tea, coaching, meditation, and more.

Carrying the blessings of our own journey, we guide students with love and compassion, delighting in their growth, love, and joy.

Blessings,
Maharaj & Maha Ma
