Thank you. It is my honor to share the practice of yoga with you!

Maui Yoga Path is an absolute gem for anyone seeking peace, balance, and renewal on this stunning island. The classes, led by the talented and compassionate Deni Roman, offer a deep dive into the transformative practice of Iyengar yoga. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a beginner, Deni's expertise and encouraging demeanor ensure that everyone feels comfortable and supported. One of the highlights of Maui Yoga Path is the unparalleled experience of beach yoga on Keawakapu Beach.   Doing yoga poses with the soothing sound of the ocean in the background and the warm breeze gently enveloping you—it's a truly magical connection between mind, body, and nature. It’s the perfect way to center yourself while soaking in Maui’s natural beauty. Additionally, the studio sessions are impeccably equipped with all the necessary props, creating a space where you can refine your poses with ease and precision. The studio is welcoming and serene, fostering a feeling of calm that complements the yoga practice beautifully. I have  practiced with Deni on Maui in 2024 and 2025, I currently  practice with her  at home five times a week through her massive collection of classes on her Vimeo channel with current classes offered each week. 

Maui Yoga Path, under Deni's inspiring guidance, is a treasure for anyone looking to embrace yoga in a setting that’s as breathtaking as it is nurturing. Highly recommended. - Beth

Attending Deni Roman's Iyengar yoga classes has been amazing. Deni is the instructor I would highly recommend to anyone at any practice level, from beginner to advanced. Her depth of knowledge is shown through her detailed direction for each pose, keen awareness of each student's capabilities, and the pacing of the asanas. I no longer feel pain when I climb out of bed in the morning and my sense of balance, both inner and outer, has truly changed my life. Namaste, Marlena

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the wonderful Yoga workshop. Your teaching has (of course) changed my life, my decisions first of all re Maui, and secondly my lifestyle. I do try to practice my Yoga several times a week and if I don’t I get cranky!! I tell everyone that you are the best teacher in the World! and I mean it – thank you again for your patience, your wisdom, and your dedication – and for just being YOU. Namaste, Sharon

Dear Deni, You have always been Mana Kai's best kept secret! Lucky for me, I found my way to your Maui Yoga Path a number of years ago. It was a life-changing experience. In all my travels, I have yet to find anyone with your knowledge and dedication. I eagerly look forward to spending my mornings in your classes when I am in Maui. How fortunate for the Mana Kai owners and guests if you ‘grace’ their marquis with your name. Much Aloha, Yolanda

I truly loved your Calgary workshop!! Thank you for coming all this way, sharing your amazing knowledge, and teaching us to make yoga such an integral part of our lives!! Your gift of yoga and wellness ignites a light in our lives and is so appreciated. -Patricia

Aloha Deni, a brief "Thank you" note for your teachings in Yoga this morning. It was quite a journey that you‘ve taken us on and guided us through all the different stages. Thank you so much for all the details and steps to help us to get up with our legs and head down (inversions) and for pointing out the connection between pelvis and the balance while we invert. And besides thinking about arms and ankles/hands/fingers, the pelvis and the legs help to find balance in the pose. -Baerbel

Deni Roman is the best Iyengar yoga teacher I have ever encountered. She is thoughtful and caring, with great knowledge. Deni has the uncanny ability to step into a class of all skill levels and reach each individual in the class and improve their practice. She is great for beginners, people with injuries, as well as advanced students. I stumbled across her studio the first time I came to Maui 7 years ago, and now her classes are the main reason I return to Maui. I attend at least 2 of Deni's workshops every year and always gain new insights and a renewed commitment to yoga. If you have the chance to take one of her workshops, it will really enhance your practice and maybe even your life." Thank you for the great workshop. -Donna

I just feel compelled to share with you how thankful and grateful I am for my health and for the practice of Iyengar Yoga. Walking into your studio last year has turned out to be one of the most profound days of my life. It has truly altered the course of my life. Amazing how life works sometimes. I just finished practicing Iyengar every day for a year and I my body has completely transformed. Not only am I completely out of the pain I was in, but I’m doing things with my body that I would never have ever thought possible. Just as importantly, this practice is now part of my soul. -Jo

"I wanted to thank you, Deni, for inspiring me to deepen my practice and go on an Iyengar teacher training course. You inspired me as you brought joy and freedom to Iyengar which in other classes I have not found." Thanks, Maria 

Good evening Deni, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your teaching today and to let you know my knee felt so much better after the class. I absolutely enjoy coming to class and it’s obvious you are so attentive to all our needs even though we are a large group. I look forward to attending a few more class with you before I go back to Victoria, B.C. Sincerely, Lois

Kihei residents are lucky to have a seasoned certified Iyengar teacher right on the beach. Deni Roman is the real deal. She has studied with the Iyengar family in Pune, India at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute. In other words, the Harvard of yoga schools.Maui Yoga Path is well equipped with props, so all you have to bring is yourself and your Tapas. Her class today was inspiring. She worked on poses that addressed tight hips, feet and neck issues. While doing so, she beautifully interweaved concepts from the Patanjali Yoga Sutra in easy-to-understand terminology. Deni teaches from the heart and coveys the wisdom taught by the source in B.K.S. Iyengar who passed away last year.You will notice right away in her class with the depth and attention to detail. If you have ever been frustrated in your Vinyasa/flow class about the instructor not teaching you how to do to the pose properly or not understanding correct alignment, then Yoga Path will teach you the right path in how to do the asana correctly and safely. When doing an asana properly, it is 10 times more challenging than just “flowing” in and out of the pose, so don’t view this as a less rigorous form of Yoga.This was the first time I practiced Iyengar Yoga with the beautiful ocean right out the door. Beautiful instruction, beautiful sequencing, beautiful scenery. It doesn’t get any closer to paradise in my book. –Michael

I recommend the Maui Yoga Path to anyone traveling to Maui. There is any number of Yoga studios on the island but there is none more professional, or in a more beautiful location, than Deni Roman’s, Maui Yoga Path studio located on the ground floor of the Mani Kai Maui in South Kihei. Deni is an Iyengar Yoga instructor with many years of teaching experience. She welcomes new students as well as those who return to the island and take her classes year after year. She pays close attention to each student and, if necessary, recommends asanas they might continue to do to strengthen their bodies and make them more flexible. Quieting the mind and focusing on while practicing asana with the sound of the ocean in the background is a memory to take home after vacation time ends. Iyengar Yoga is based on the alignment of the body in the joining of body, mind, and spirit. Deni Roman’s Maui Yoga Path infuses the feeling and spirit of aloha to the practice of Yoga. Don’t miss the opportunity of visiting the Maui Yoga Path studio when you come to Maui.- Alicia

Dear Deni, A friend of mine sent me this message about the wonderful women and teachers of Yoga. I am sure you know all of them and have heard this before but as they mentioned you a teacher in Pune too I wanted to share this with you. What they say about the teachers is so you. It is all about knowledge and good training. Few i think truly appreciate your special knowledge and teaching but I feel all of them as well as myself feel and experience the inner evolution of consciousness as you talk and remind us of the 15 points in our body we need to concentrate on.You are the best and I am so happy to have started Yoga now that I am retired.You should be added to this list of people who teach yoga right. Love Marian

We have both been taking yoga classes from Deni for about five years. The Maui Yoga Path is the best yoga program we have ever been involved in and Deni is the best yoga instructor we have ever had. We, as well as other couples we know plan trips to Maui just for more of Deni`s instruction in this excellent program. We have taken many group classes at the Maui Yoga Path, which are remarkably geared to all levels. We have also been to retreats, workshops and had personal instruction in Deni`s program all of which were the most informative instruction we have ever had. We feel truly blessed to be able to participate in the Maui Yoga Path and have met many others who feel the same way we do. We feel Deni and The Maui Yoga Path are a real asset to the Mana Kai. Sincerely, Kris and Anji

Deni, I wanted to take this opportunity to express what a great spiritual teacher you have been for me. I am so grateful. The day I walked into the Maui Yoga path changed my life. Thank you for the time and effort you give to your Yoga lessons that helped me to connect to a deeper awareness of myself. I loved the asana practice you created each day for us. I always left class feeling lighter and happier. I take home with me the Maui Yoga Path and know I will hear you when I get on the mat. My teacher, enjoy the summer. Namaste, Barbara
