It completely changed the way I look at yoga, at my practice and at my teaching in ways I couldn't have imagined. The training combines anatomy, physiology, yoga and spirituality into a something so meaningful. Abhaya and Satyam are amazing teachers - they know and live what they teach and bring a serious but light hearted presence to the practice. I'm in love with this practice and I think it is the way of the future.

Yoga on the Big Island…read more This may be one of your most memorable yoga studios you'll ever visit. The "studio" is a wooden deck covered with a white canvas "tent", overlooking a garden with a gorgeous Boddhi tree with the beauty of the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. It's a very new studio, classes are affordable, and it is NOT crowded (yet). It is well worth the drive from Kona or any surrounding area to take a class. The atmosphere itself made me fall in love and my yoga practice that much more enriching that day.

Maya was a catalyst for my entry into a regular yoga practice! After taking classes with her on the…read moreBig Island I decided to join a studio here in California where I live. It has really changed my life. Maya's classes are challenging but she's always making sure everyone is practicing in a way that is right for their body. In addition to the physical aspect of the class, Maya teaches yoga of the mind that we all need to keep us centered and feeling more at peace. Mahalo, Maya, and hope to see you soon!

We visited the island last week from Los Angeles and booked Maya for a private session at our home…read more It was one of the highlights of our trip and was so delightful. A few in our group had only done yoga a couple of times and Maya was excellent with providing level appropriate modifications for everyone. I was also delighted that Maya incorporates a little bit of reiki body work/aromatherapy into the practice, so it was a lovely little "happy ending." We found Maya to be warm, very friendly and approachable Communication back and forth with Maya was excellent from the get-go. We all felt so relaxed and stronger after the practice. Also, 2 of our friends did a big dive that same afternoon and stated the yog helped them so much get through the dive, as they were well stretched and stronger. I highly recommend booking Maya if you are on the Big Island, she is a gem!!

I absolutely love Yoga Nest! I go to Kona often to house- and dog-sit for a good friend, and last…read moreyear I started taking classes here. Since then, it has become one of my favorite places to visit whenever I'm in Kona. The studio is small, intimate, clean, peaceful, and has such a sweet, calming atmosphere. I've enjoyed every class I've taken, and the instructors are wonderful -- welcoming, knowledgeable, and each bringing their own special energy. There was a change in ownership this year, and I really feel the management has improved. Last year there were quite a few last-minute class cancellations, which could be frustrating. But when I stayed in Kona for the entire month of July this year, I didn't experience a single cancellation. Everything felt much more consistent and organized, and somehow the overall vibe of the studio felt even better. Yoga Nest feels like a little sanctuary in Kona. I'm already looking forward to going back when I return to the island! ‍

So glad I get to be the first to review this lovely Bikram yoga studio. I found island Bikram yoga…read morevia the Internet and the studio is great. I'm visiting the big island and staying at the Hilton Waikoloa so the studio was a short 15 minute drive from the hotel. A note about the studio. It can be slightly tricky to find. It's in a shopping center but on the second floor. (Hawaii national bank on ground floor) As a visiting yogi I got the traveling yogi special for 7 days . $70 included mat and water. So literally nothing to bring other than your Bikram readiness. A drop in fee is $20 so if you are coming even three times the week special is a no brainer. Instruction was very good. Both gabe who is a visiting instructor and Yolanda the owner. The studio is super clean and Yolanda put in a Mat surface in the studio. If you like Bikram or like it hot, definitely swing by this lovely studio.

Quick easy process to sign up and sign waiver online. When I arrived, Chantel, the teacher greeted me at the entrance and checked me in. It didn't look like the information was received on her end, but it was again, a quick easy process. After paperwork and payment, she guided me back to the studio. It appeared to be a maze through another studio with curtains surrounding the workout floor and through another with a curtain. This was a smaller studio with about 8 infrared heating elements around the perimeter. There were only three students, including me. Chantel is in incredible shape and she led her class in a way that resembles that. Although I've taken hot yoga classes before within this lineage, she strayed a bit from the normal routine and it pressed me to work harder than I had in the past. Luckily, I survived! She very much tailored the class to the participants, which was very cool. This is a really cool studio with multiple areas for exercise and even a tatoo shop in the back! Hope to return for another class in the future! Keep on Yelp'n!

Her sound healing class is one of the best I have ever attended, it really balanced some issues I have in my vagal nerve due to childhood ptsd. I felt a lot more grounded the week I attended the sound healing. She also knows how to instruct people into difficult poses. She eases the student into difficult poses at the level they are capable of, so they can evolve into the pose without injuring themselves. Her graceful teaching style definitely shows her years of experience and wisdom . Yoga Hale is a cozy beautiful home environment that I really enjoy and gotten a lot of healing from. I highly recommend!
