Truly a gem in Kapolei [,,,] An authentic yoga experience that goes beyond the physical practice. [...] The instructors really know the poses, body autonomy and how to cue it all together brilliantly. The heated studio is dreamy- mirrors for alignment and hot for extra stretch. You will leave here glowing and wanting more! [...] HIGHLY recommend.
