When you choose Maha Yoga Institute for your training you are choosing EXPERIENCE for your 200 Hour training!

What sets Maha Yoga Institute apart from the rest is the depth of experience and expertise that comes from Murt Hower's 28 years of teaching experience and 17 years of teaching 200 HR teacher trainings/intensives.

Murti Hower and Larina Hawkins-Hower are a husband and wife team who created Maha Fusion | Yoga…Dance…Love, bringing together the three paths to help students reach their highest potential!  Murti and Larina teach and facilitate yoga classes, 200 Hour Yoga Alliance Certification programs, conscious yoga & dance events and Tantra Partner Yoga for Couples® workshops and retreats.

Murti Hower, ERYT500, is a master yoga teacher, well known and respected in Hawaii & Austin, Texas. He has been practicing Hatha Yoga since 1982 and teaching for over 28 years, owning his own studio in Austin, Texas for 12 of those years. Many yoga teachers on Oahu were originally trained by Murti. He credits his main yoga mentor and friend Rodney Yee for his teaching of wellness alignment principles. Larina has been practicing yoga since 1994, enjoys facilitating events in yoga and ecstatic dance as well as holding space for couples to connect through yoga. Her certifications include 200 RYT and Yoga Trance Dance™ with Shiva Rea.
