Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had the opportunity to take classes from Maya at the Mauna Kea resort and at her studio in Hawi. The resort classes are appropriately all-levels with great instruction and individual feedback. The class in Hawi is a more advanced class, and as good as any similar class in my home town of Santa Barbara. Over the course of two weeks, I saw Maya meet new students each class, address them by name and provide meaningful feedback during the class. She immediately recognized me at my first class even though it had been three years since the last time I took one of her classes. I've been taking yoga classes regularly (4 times or more per week) for more than 10 years, so its rare that I pick up something new and useful, but I did in Maya's class. If you are into yoga, you will love her classes. If you are new to yoga, her classes are an excellent introduction.

During a recent two month stay on the Big Island Hawaii. I had the great opportunity to practice yoga in several of Maya's classes (4 x per week). As a "yoga neophyte at age 61" (just 5 classes before meeting and practicing with Maya), I was seeking an accepting, yet challenging environment for my new found yoga journey. Maya was superb!!! She is warm, knowledgeable, effectively communicates and readily shares her expansive yoga expertise. At each yoga practice I participated, Maya innately understood exactly how best to bring me along (as well as whomever else was there on any given day), continually challenged me and individually assisted and corrected my poses (as needed).

Maya holds regular early morning yoga practices on the Kohala Coast, at both the Mauna Kea Hotel and the Mauna Lani Hotel (each with very special beach side settings). If you are up for more of an advanced challenge, consider attending one of her Thursday morning studio practices in Hawi (which I did). Even though I struggled with some of the difficulty, Maya was always cognizant of my inherent flexibility limitations (due to prior sports surgeries) providing me with several pose options so I could always effectively participate (and enjoy), with the other more advanced yoga practitioners in the studio.

There seem to be several yoga instructors on the Big Island of Hawaii (and I practiced with many of them on the days when Maya was unavailable). They were all caring and helpful. However, Maya Parish takes it to a completely different level. You won't be disappointed if you choose to practice with her. I am looking forward to returning to the Big Island and continuing my yoga practice and journey with Maya. MAHALO NUI LOA Maya...

We loved, loved Maya's classes -- they were a highlight of our fab vacation on the Big Island. It's amazing what Maya can do in just a one hour class, teaching to all levels. My body felt stronger and more flexible after a couple of classes with her, and my husband (not a big yogini) felt likewise. More importantly, I felt peaceful and relaxed in a profound way. Maya is a gifted teacher, a true gem, and I would return to Hawaii just to take classes with her. My highest recommendation!

Absolutely amazing! Maya is the highlight of a two week family vacation with my husband and four sons. In the midst of a cray-cray vaca she helped me feel namaste all day. After practicing for 20 + years (and founding a yoga based charity) I can honestly write that Maya is one of the most talented yogis I have ever met. Her adjustments are everything. Everything about my practice is better. Her joyful, intuitive, guidance made me feel empowered and motivated. She has the amazing balance of being a complete professional (on time, prepared, music ready, mats cleaned) with a yogi's beautiful powerful pleasant presence.. It is the perfect balance (literally and figuratively). Our practice was truly the best hour of my day and gave me a solid grounded center to conquer our day. My chakras are lit and it's the best souvenir ever.

Maya is a true gem. Over the last 8 months my wife and I have been to visit the Big Island twice and I have enjoyed 4 private sessions with Maya over the time. Each session was at the Mauna Lani Resort out by the ocean.... a peaceful, wonderful setting.

Maya's pleasant and clam manner, along with the breath of her yoga beliefs and expertise make for the most beneficial sessions. Whether a novice or experienced yogi Maya will find the poses and overall experience that will have you challenged, and also feeling successful.

I highly recommend Maya if you are looking for a wonderful yoga experience.

Over the years, I have take several drop in yoga classes while on vacation in Hawaii but the instructors always kept the class light and taught to the least experienced student. Maya has somehow hit upon a great balance of being able to challenge yogis at all levels. This was true no matter where she taught. I went to her classes at "The Shops" in the Mauna Lani Resort as well as her yoga class on the lawn of the Mauna Kea Resort. She's a great find and I'll look up her classes the next time I come to the island!

Went to one of Maya's classes recently at the Mauna Lani shops when we were in the area and wish I could have taken more than just one class with her. I go to yoga regularly and have had many yoga teachers. Maya is one of the best. She integrates not only the movement of yoga (which many teachers do well) but throughout the practice weaves in philosophy of yoga and makes it relevant to the practice at hand, which makes her stand out. Definitely recommend taking a class with her.

Maya is really an exceptional yoga teacher--knowledgeable, kind, patient, focused, and very much in tune to the needs of her students. She is also very passionate about yoga as a practice and a way of life. I hope to get back to the Big Island to study more yoga with her. If you are nearby, take a class!

Aloha Nancy, Thank you for your kind review. I so enjoyed diving into the philosophy and spirituality of yoga along with the asana practice with you. I trust your trip home was safe and pleasantly uneventful and I look forward to working with you again next time you're on the island. Namaste, Maya
