Want to practice with Noah? Take his class at Wanderlust Hollywood<\/a> (with free classes<\/a> on the weekends through October!), or, better yet, at Wanderlust O’ahu<\/a> 2018. Traveling not your bag? Stay tuned for Noah’s upcoming classes on Wanderlust TV<\/a>, launching November 2.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Walking into the room, revered teacher Noah Maze<\/a> is hard to pick out of the crowd of yogis upon first meeting him. He so immerses himself with his students, that there’s a distinct\u00a0peer-to-peer exchange, rather than that of a traditional pedantic classroom. He\u2019s the yoga teacher you want to hang out with and grab a kombucha after class.<\/p>\n

Before the start of the first day of his most recent teacher training, Noah sits cross legged on the floor, talking with a student. In a blink he is upside down standing on on his head while tapping the back of his leg with one hand to point out the muscle engagement. The finesse with which he contorts his body into the most advanced asanas speaks to his years of patient study, eclectic exploration of various schools of yoga, and his self-proclaimed disregard for following rules.<\/p>\n

Noah Maze has been teaching yoga since the late 1990s, before\u00a0yoga was cool. He came to Hatha practice at the ripe age of 14, and went on to study with revered Ashtangis Richard Freeman and Pattabhi Jois. He dabbled in Iyengar with senior teacher Manuoso Manos before getting his Anusara teaching certification.<\/p>\n

His attention to detailed instruction, creative yet anatomically informed sequencing, and in-depth knowledge of the history and philosophy of yoga have\u00a0come together in his unique signature style, known as YOGAMAZ\u00c9. YOGAMAZ\u00c9 is accessible to beginners for\u00a0its precision and emphasis on correct postural foundation, but\u00a0exciting to advanced practitioners for\u00a0its escalating intensity. Step into Noah\u2019s Level 3 alignment based class and do not be surprised if after 90\u00a0minutes of practicing you find your foot behind your head.<\/p>\n

Something for Everyone<\/h3>\n

The YOGAMAZ\u00c9 team offers trainings for both aspiring and experienced teachers alike. Accessible to everyone, however, the trainings draw a mixed bag of levels of experience. It\u2019s safe to say that despite level of existing knowledge everyone walks away from Noah\u2019s trainings having learned more than one something of value, as evidenced by Wanderlust Hollywood Director of Yoga Chad Dennis<\/a>\u2019s reflection at the end of this most recent 50 hour training. Chad acknowledged that despite thinking he knew a lot, there was such power in participating in the training, being Noah\u2019s student, and looking at his teaching style in a new light. Chad has over 30,000 hours of teaching experience. He sat across the room from a young man who had yet to teach a yoga class, both enrapt in the carefully thought out curriculum.<\/p>\n

The modular structure of the YOGAMAZ\u00c9 trainings<\/a> is refreshingly realistic to the working yogi\u2019s life. For yoga teachers, there isn’t always\u00a0opportunity to invest both time and money into an immersive experience, as much as\u00a0 one would like. Noah separates his longer trainings into week and weekend offerings over the course of a few months. His 50 hour teacher tune-ups take place over the course of one week, and deftly condense months of information into that smaller amount of time.<\/p>\n

Making Learning Fun<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s something profound and special about a person who makes learning the difference between the supraspinatus and the subscapularis not only interesting and applicable but entertaining and enjoyable. Noah performed a sketch of a robot to show students the difference between the muscles that control the rotator cuff.<\/p>\n

Before beginning his career as a teacher\u2019s teacher, Noah worked as a facilitator in outdoor education, teaching young adults wilderness<\/a> and leadership skills in Colorado. Teaching has in some way been a consistent part of Noah\u2019s life, and his spirit for adventure and insatiable curiosity pervade his offering both in his classes and in his trainings. It is humbling to meet a teacher, a \u201cyoga-lebrity\u201d, as social media has coined, who is about as down to Earth and egoless<\/a> as they come. He\u2019ll be the first one in the room to make an inappropriate joke, to offer insight into his life as if he\u2019s known you for years, to make you feel like you\u2019re in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n

If you have the opportunity to learn from him, do it. You won’t regret taking the plunge.<\/p>\n
