Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Tucked away on Chai Songkhram Road in the tranquil town of Pai lies Maliha Yoga, a dedicated Ashtanga yoga studio led by teacher Pixie. She has cultivated a loyal following of both first-timers and regular students. The studio offers a particularly personal experience with small class sizes, allowing Pixie to observe each student individually and adapt the classes to different abilities – making yoga suitable and enriching for both beginners and advanced practitioners. The studio itself is a highlight. Visitors consistently praise the natural ventilation, the uncluttered design, and the spacious layout, which is often lacking in larger studios. The classes are characterized by a calm, focused atmosphere that reflects the Ashtanga tradition, with an emphasis on breathwork, correct alignment, and mindful movement. The 10 a.m. class is especially popular with those visiting Pai on the spur of the moment. As booking information is not available online, it is recommended to contact the studio in advance or stop by in person to inquire about the current class schedule. As the studio is small and family-run, spaces can be limited – especially during the peak season in Pai between November and February. Comfortable, breathable clothing suitable for active yoga exercises is recommended.
