Myra Lewin ~ Maui Yoga and Ayurveda

Myra has studied and taught Yoga, Ayurveda, nutrition, meditation, and energy management since the late 1980s. Her in-depth knowledge of human anatomy, physiology and psychology enables her to approach people at their level to encourage the integration of healthy balanced practices as a foundation for living. Myra’s natural insight—honed by extensive study and hands on experience—allows her to root out the cause of persistent problems, revealing a path to balance and harmony.

She offers individual counseling sessions, meditation retreats, and inspiring workshops around the globe. Honoring the holistic nature of the human being, she has helped many people move from destructive paths toward fulfillment. She works with people in any stage of life including the elderly and those recovering from addiction. Myra provides herbal formulas for the individual and created her own line of aromatherapy oils for personal use and cooking.

Myra is a professional mediator, a minister in The Church of Aesclepion Healing, organic farmer, and creative Ayurvedic cook. Her book, Freedom in Your Relationship with Food: an Everyday Guide, explains how to reawaken our sacred connection to what we consume. A second book that illustrates how to embody love is currently in progress. Myra has been an expert guest for numerous radio shows and print articles.

Myra was grandfathered as a Yoga Alliance ERYT500 in 2003 with over 9000 hours teaching experience and has a 500 hour certificate from International Yoga Studies. She is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists and conducts a Yoga Alliance registered school for teacher training emphasizing a harmonized approach to Yoga and Ayurveda.
Previously, Myra had a diverse career in the fields of medicine, executive management, and business consulting. Her experience as a corporate executive and consultant provided the jumping off point for her current path. Integrating Yoga and Ayurveda into her own life allowed her to overcome the challenges of rheumatoid arthritis and leukemia.

With her focus on growth and service, Myra also enjoys world travel, surfing and hiking. Her students benefit from the example of her joy-filled life as much as from her teachings.

Meditation & Energy Management
Updated: 09-11-2009
Myra offers simple tools to help you manage your energy in all areas of life. Stay grounded and maintain your center during times of stress. Create balance in your life rather than being in reaction to life. Practical methods help you become aware of your own energy and how to shift it at will. Explore working with the chakras, the aura and your healing energy, expanding awareness of the subtle realms and your environment. Learn to ground, replenish your energy, and connect to your innermost self. Develop conscious and compassionate ways of relating with yourself and others. Explore your existing beliefs, how they affect your day-to-day life, and how to make lasting changes to feel better. On the first Wednesday of each month, a vegetarian potluck follows class. All are welcome!
