Strength & Grace a book about Ashtanga Yoga

Derick and Jean Yu

I have known Derick and his beautiful wife Jean for over three years. I met them through my Maui Vision business. They rented one of our vacation condos and soon purchased their own and asked for my assistance to keep their beautiful home booked with visiting guests. Derick and Jean take pride in their Maui home by providing comfortable furnishings and insuring that their place is well maintained and nicely decorated. They really care about the guest experience. They visit as often as they can. Their rental has great mana (energy) and I believe it is because of the aloha spirit that Derick and Jean bring to it.

What intrigues me about Derick is his dedication to the spiritual practice of his yoga. He amazes me with his advanced yoga poses. I love yoga too and know it is a healthy discipline. It makes me feel good and I want to learn more. He has made several videos and wrote his first book that will inspire and educate the reader about the benefits of this ancient discipline "Strength &Grace."

Kathy: Derick thank you for sharing your story with me on my blog. I am amazed by your knowledge of yoga: What inspired you to start this spiritual ritual? You now teach it part-time and have a book out. Tell us what shifted in your personal li

Derick: I got into the Ashtanga Yoga practice in the middle of 1999 when my wife Jean proposed that I take up an activity that would help me grow old "gracefully." I guess she felt that I needed some balance. I was living in a corporate world, working extremely hard and playing hard as well. She knew this lifestyle could not sustain itself.We both started doing the practice after a bit of research of what a good yoga "style" would be. Jean eventually moved on but I surprisingly kept at it. Maybe I needed it much more.


Ashtanga Yoga is known for its very rigorous movements and most people initially get attracted to its physical benefits (strength, balance, flexibility). No one really sees the "spiritual" aspects of it since from the outside, it does seem like how can one develop some sense of spirituality by doing gymnastics.

It was quite a slow, gradual revelation in my part that this yoga practice develops a sense of devotion and awareness after some time. It's very hard to explain but in some sense, the daily physical routine that is required does progress from the physical to the mental and spiritual. It taught me specifically that life consists of two things: 10% of what happens to us and 90% on how we react to it. It does not hide the fact that everyone goes through happiness, sorrow, pain and pleasure.

I have seen the value and benefit of this yoga practice. Physically, it is an investment since we all lose mobility as we age. Mentally, it has taught me not to react impulsively. It's still a lesson I am learning but certainly something I hope to be able to achieve in this life. Spiritually, it has shown me that there is a higher power, but not in a dogmatic kind of belief.

I have been doing Ashtanga Yoga practice for well over 15 years, but I do not really think it is my fullest vocation to teach it. Though I have had the opportunity and privilege to share what I have learned with other students by occasionally teaching and helping out in the Vancouver studio, there is something to be said in teaching yoga as one's profession. Two things that I am absolutely aware of and which makes me very reluctant in teaching as a vocation are:
- The energy expended in teaching and adjusting students. Practicing daily is already an activity that requires a lot of energy to utilize; and to teach and adjust students regularly expends twice as much. Some teachers have taken to skipping practice in order to have energy to teach. My practice still takes precedence and I usually only help out in the studio a couple of days a week and I know I have the time to recuperate
- The realities of life and obligations where one still needs to work in order to sustain a lifestyle. Both Vancouver and Maui are places that require substantial financial resources in order to justify maintaining a balanced livelihood.

I have, however, opted on alternative ways to share the benefits of this yoga ritual. These have been through various projects such as:
- Helping out a yoga resource website and looking after the editing of interview videos and promotion.

Examples are on the following YouTube channels:

Kathy: Please sum up the reason you feel Maui is special to you. What does the meaning of the Maui Magic mean to you? What made you and Jean decide to purchase here on this island.

Derick: On our first visit to Maui, we knew instantly we had made a connection to this special island. We have travelled extensively throughout the world and only have truly connected to a handful of places, Maui being one of them. There is something that can be said about the island of Maui, certainly more on what the island espouses in terms of lifestyle: living simply, enjoying what our fragile environment has given us and how we should be highly sensitive of its dire changes. Both Jean and I do hope to spend longer times on the island in the future.

This is what Maui magic is to us:
-.The realization that we have a place in the most geographically isolated group of islands on earth,
- That we don't need a lot of "stuff" to enjoy life
- The time we are able to spend together throughout the whole day
- The people on the island who reflect and display what "Aloha" really means

Jean and I were very fortunate to have bought a piece of paradise, especially as the conditions during that time were so hard to ignore:
- The lower cost of real estate due to the US economic downturn
- The higher value of the Canadian currency against the USD

It has always been my goal to buy property outside of Canada, and where my wife and I can enjoy a slice of life outside of the usual daily grind. And it is no exaggeration that we both still pinch ourselves realizing we've been able to achieve that dream whenever we fly back to Maui and when we drive towards Kamaole Beach Park II where the Kihei Akahi is located only a few meters away.

New Maui Vision Rental Property OCEAN FRONT / VIEW

Aloha everyone!

Sugar Beach right outside Kanai A Nalu

Ma'alaea Harbor less than a mile away

Sorry for not posting.  I was busy transitioning from California to Maui, Hawaii!  I have lived here now for over a year closer to two.  My first year was getting settled and I did it slowly.  I wanted to soak in the Maui living experience as a local.  I can see why Maui is the BEST!  There is so much to do.  Island fever is not in my vocabulary!

If you need a vacation getaway and would like to visit Maui for 3 days or longer we have some nice properties most with ocean views.  Rates vary per property:  www.MauiVision.com

Today we have a GREAT SPECIAL on a new property we added to our network.  It is a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo located near Ma'alaea Harbor.  It is close to Haycraft Park and on beautiful Sugar Beach.

This complex sits directly on a 3-mile stretch of white sand beach that spans almost the entire Ma'alaea Bay.   This setting is wonderful for a romantic sunset stroll.  For the more active person this is a great beach to run on as you can do so for miles in peace away from the crowds.  The west end of the beach is Haycraft Park and Ma'alaea Harbor. If there is a big south swell, the wave off the harbor, "Freight Trains," can be one of the best in the world attracting expert surfers.   Towards the east of Ma'alaea is a great spot for windsurfing, during both trade and Kona winds. This property is located less than a mile walking distance to Ma'alaea Harbor and it is centrally located on the island between South and North Maui.
