welcome to yoga hawaii
Yoga Hawaii in the Kaimuki district of Honolulu is home to sincere yoga practitioners of all ages, sizes, shapes and fitness levels. We are a community that believes that all yoga styles ultimately lead to stillness, an experience of deep peace, and a returning back to Source energy.
We offer three main tracks of hatha yoga study: a gentle track (Yoga Basics), a more vigorous one (Vinyasa Flow) and a very athletic form of yoga (Ashtanga)—depending on your personal inclination. Our classes are taught in the traditional style of the yoga masters, and include pranayama and meditation. Our focus is on bringing each student along to his or her fullest expression of these ancient practices, based on each individual's goal and aspirations. The tracks are complementary; some students choose to take classes in each track, mixing and matching as needed.
Yoga Basics
These hatha yoga classes are perfect for learning correct breathing methods, alignment and technique in a wide range of postures (asanas). You will move through a well-rounded selection of poses that will invigorate, rejuvenate and restore the body, mind and spirit.
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa is a joining or linking mechanism, and these classes feature flowing sequences of postures that can be modified based on your experience level. The body becomes heated from the inside, allowing more flexibility and purification to transpire.
Ashtanga Yoga
Ashtanga Yoga is known to be the most vigorous of the hatha yoga styles, which brings an element of aerobic athleticism to these classes. Breath, vinyasa and focus are cultivated during the set series of poses. You are advised to work at your own level, using modifications when necessary.
We invite you to try any of our classes for an introductory price of $5 for kama'ainas (regular rates apply to island visitors). You may also attend our Free Intro Yoga Class on Fridays, 5:45 - 7:00 p.m.
Yoga Hawaii is dedicated to creating a supportive environment for your ongoing development and understanding of how yoga can serve you in your current life. Our excellent teachers are well-trained, ethical in their approach and mindful of each student's physical, mental and spiritual well-being. They are registered with the Yoga Alliance, an international organization committed to nurturing quality instructors with well-rounded backgrounds in yogic philosophy as well as the physical postures (asanas).
Yoga Hawaii is also a Yoga Alliance Registered Training Facility and offers a 200-hour Yoga Alliance teacher training (in both English and Japanese), as well as special events with teachers from a wide range of disciplines. Check our website for the current schedule of Special Events.
