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.

The cloths are high quality (generally organic) and if she doesn't have exactly what you want she is more than happy to order for you.

I was so happy to find a local yoga studio and then I was even more excited to find the most amazing organic & local body scrubs, lotions by Ola Hawaii (If you can get your hands on coconut lemongrass body butter you will not be disappointed). I also got a great pair of locally made earrings. After spending time wandering around the shopping district of Kona, I loved finding this unique store where I got all my gifts that also supports the local community.

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! ‍

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!
