Avery now teaching Maha Mobility 📣

We’re excited to introuduce Avery (they/them) who teaches Maha Mobility on Tuesday evenings and Maha Flow Monday evenings.

Many of you may already know Avery as a familiar face around the studio. After more than a decade of practicing at yoga studios across the country, Avery found a home at Maha in 2021—first as a student, and now as a teacher after completing their 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in 2025. ✨

Avery brings a thoughtful, grounded approach to movement shaped by a lifetime of varied physical experiences. Growing up alongside a physically-disabled single mother while training in strict ballet classes gave them an early understanding that every body moves differently—and deserves individualized care and attention.

Their classes focus on fine-tuning movement, building awareness, and helping students develop strength and resilience through a mobility-informed lens. 💪🏼 Expect a practice that feels intentional, intelligent, and deeply human.

If you haven't already, check out class with Avery! 💫

Teacher training is for you if you’re ready to build a career you LOVE 😍

Maha's Teacher Training is intentionally designed for dedicated yogis ready to deepen their practice and share the profound benefits of yoga with authenticity. What do we mean when we say, 'authenticity'?

➡️ Well, we won't tell you to manifest abundance, and we won't force toxic
positivity on you.

Instead, we'll educate you about the common injuries of yoga. the challenges of making it as a yoga teacher in this economy, and what to actually expect on your path of yoga.

In short, we keep it real. 💯

Teacher Training IS NOT for you if you're only looking for positivity, manifesting abundance, and other fluffy New Age philosophy.

Teacher Training IS for you if you want to make yoga relevant to modern, urban Westerners while also respecting its Indian roots and learn to teach powerful yoga classes that inspire and change lives.

Not sure if this is the right program for you? Grab a spot on Justicia's calendar for a free, no-pressure call. ✨

The jungle is calling 📣

Join us for an unforgettable yoga retreat to the lush Osa Peninsula, where the rainforest meets the sea and life moves at a slower,
more intentional pace. 🌊

Encanta la Vida-meaning "enchanted life"-will be our sanctuary for the week. Tucked deep in the jungle and thoughtfully designed to blend with its surroundings, this stunning lodge invites you to truly unplug and unwind.

Start your mornings practicing on a breathtaking two-tier yoga deck overlooking the ocean, the sounds of the rainforest all around you. 🏝️

Spend your afternoons lounging by the freshwater pool, swaying in hammocks, or sipping something refreshing from the tropical juice and spirits bar.

Just steps away, Pan Dulce beach offers a magical meeting point of jungle and ocean-where you can watch the waves roll in as monkeys call from the trees.

🌸 The lodge itself is solar-powered and intentionally crafted, with cozy nooks and hidden lounge spaces throughout- perfect for quiet reflection, connection, or simply doing nothing at all.

Space is extremely limited. Register early to avoid disappointment. 🔗 in bio!

Slow down this summer with Yin 😌

As the days get longer and life gets busier, it’s easy to get swept up in summer plans, packed schedules, and constant movement. Yin Yoga offers a chance to slow down, settle in, and create space to reconnect with yourself.

Join Susannah Mondays and Thursday eveings at 6:30pm for a deeply nourishing, slowly paced practice designed to target the joints and fascia through long-held postures. ✨

Yin Yoga supports mobility, recovery, and relaxation while inviting you to soften the nervous system and unwind from the week.

Come breathe, stretch, and slow down with us this summer.🌱

➡️ I signed up for my first 200-hour yoga teacher training in 2005 because I was on fire for yoga and I wanted more. Yoga was teaching me how to get out of my head and into my body, and it was changing so much for me as a stressed-out academic.

So I was ALL IN for my first teacher training: the poses, the chanting, the meditation, the
philosophy.

When my beloved instructor taught the concept of karma in yogic thought, she told us that bad things happen to us in life because of our bad karma.

I asked,' 'Sure, but what about terrible things happening to people who haven't done any bad things? What about the kids in Iraq?' At that time, the US was waging a war in Iraq on bogus claims of ' weapons of mass destruction.'

She replied that bad karma accumulates over lifetimes, so those kids were experiencing the karmic repercussions from their past lives.

I tried to ask a follow up question, but she repeated her answer and moved on. I loved my teacher, but her reply made no sense to me.

How could every kid in Iraq be playing out some cosmic story of their past life's karma? It didn't have anything to do with, say, US Imperialism? I mean, come ON.

I loved yoga, but the philosophy just wasn't resonating.

What I didn't realize at the time was that this is only one Indian philosophical perspective in yoga (namely Vedanta), and it is not the only voice.

In Maha's Yoga Teacher Training, we present you with a full survey of the three main schools of Yogic Philosophy, and I make arguments for the one that is the foundation of our studio-Rajanaka Ta**ra (which teaches that, yes, your karma influences you, as does a force known as lila, or chance. Together they interact, weaving our shared tapestry of life). 🤗

It's just one way that this training fulfills our mission to make yoga relevant to us as modern, urban Westerners while also respecting its Indian roots. This is the training I would start with if I could begin my yoga studies all over again. It's a mobility-informed, intentionally diverse training steeped in progressive, life-affirming philosophy. 💜

You can ask tough questions, and when we don't know the answer, we'll say exactly that.

Plan ahead for the dark days of February 🗓️

February is the perfect time to put something deeply nourishing on your calendar-something you can look forward to through the winter months. 🌞

Our Costa Rica Retreat in February 2027 offers the chance to step away and reconnect with yourself in a truly breathtaking setting. ✨

This week-long retreat blends yoga, nature,
and adventure in one of the most biodiverse
places on the planet. 😍

You'll move, rest, explore, and unwind- trading cold, dark days for warm ocean air, vibrant rainforest, and a rhythm that invites you to slow down and be present. 🌊

Instead of just getting through the winter, give yourself something to move toward. 🎉

I’ll be subbing for Desiree on Saturday, May 23rd at 11am for a 75-minute Maha Flow class, and I’d love to see some familiar faces (and new ones too). ✨

Then on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25th, we’ll have two class options at 10am (evening classes canceled):

⭐️ Advanced Yoga w/ me (90 min)
⭐️ Functional Flow w/ Jill (75 min)

The rest of the weekend's schedule will remain the same. Registration is open!
