I had a fantastic healing massage and yoga class here. Elizabeth is a professional who pulls from many modalities and exudes peace and love. I've been practicing yoga for 22 years and her class got me realizing there's always more to learn. I love that she included pranayama and qigong. A full rounded experience. I recommend adding a infrared sauna to finish out this healing experience:) read more

Lizzie's yoga class is more than just a yoga class, it's an experience! Deep in the rain forest, the yurt is the perfect escape for destination yoga fanatics. A combination of yoga, reiki, crystals, sound and cool mountain breezes made this one of favorite stops. Following the class we took a detoxifying infra-red sauna which combined light and color treatment. The whole experience was enriching for both the mind and the body. If you looking for a relaxing and invigorating stop on the way to the volcano-this is the place! read more

I went to Elizabeth to experience my first reiki session. My daughter and I was having a mom/daughter day and thought we would see what all the hype was about. Elizabeth was very pleasant and her space was welcoming and warm, and smelt so good. She knew, just from one look, that I had a lot going on. The session was so awesome, I highly recommend it. read more

I don't recommend many places because sometimes it's a hit or miss but I can honestly say Lizzie is AMAZING and you're crazy if you don't make an appointment with her! I suffer from migraines, a torn rotator cuff, and sciatica among other things which have made me seek out the healing hands of massage therapists throughout the state and also the west coast. I can honestly say that Lizzie of Yogayurt is AMAZING and one of the top 3 that I've been to. She is definitely the best I've found here on Big Island and I've been to more than 10 including the spa at Mauna Lani. She listens and pays attention to what your body asks for, finding knots I didn't even know where there and using the perfect amount of pressure. I've had many masseuse do a textbook massage where they feel hard pressure works best all the time. Others will only poke and prod at the problem ares. Lizzie goes above and beyond, changing the pressure of the massage as she finds what's best for each area. For our first appointment I was a bit nervous because of the bad experiences I've had lately but after a long trip to Oahu (couldn't see my masseuse there as she was on vacation) I was in desperate need of a massage. However upon meeting Lizzie I was immediately at ease. She knows what she's doing and she takes the time to work on any and every problem she finds. A lot of other masseuse have a time clock that they watch like a hawk but she doesn't. I could tell that she genuinely cares and is passionate about her work. Her massage room is relaxing and super clean, she offers lemon infused water and also plays relaxing music to help you enjoy the session. When I left I had no pain and I was immensely relaxed. Honestly I almost fell asleep on the table but made it home to take a nap and veg on the couch. I knew I had to make a 2nd appointment! The entire experience is amazing from start to finish complete with hot rocks, deep tissue, and Reiki. It's as if she can sense exactly what my muscles need to relax! I saw her today for a 2nd appointment because the 1st was phenomenal. Seriously, I was so relaxed I even dozed off!!! My shoulder had been bothering me all day prior to seeing her and after the massage it felt like I didn't have shoulder problems at all! She also has an infrared sauna which I highly recommend! Stellar massage, awesome personality, and hard to beat prices?! Someone wake me up if I'm dreaming because I think I've officially found my new go-to masseuse/spa on the Big Island!!!!! read more

After my massage with Elizabeth I felt so serene and happy. My entire being surrendered into her touch and relaxed into the light as she moved and rubbed. The hot stones were fantastic! They got deep into the tissues that are often so tight and let me go deeper into the silence than ever before. When the stones were set on my sternum and hips I felt the grounding that allowed the work to go deeper yet. My foot is much better and I appreciate focusing on that specific healing. I feel that Elizabeth's gentle touch set the stage for the deep stone work to release the resistance left within and give me a subtle, yet profound night's sleep after. My body, mind and spirit are still more integrated and lighter. It's visible in my gentle smile these moments. RECOMMEND! read more

What an amazing massage. Elizibeth really knows what she is doing and the atmosphere was great. Had a 90 min massage that seemed to last longer. Her technique was the best I have had and really loved the hot stones. Too bad she does not live in Santa Barbara. Thanks for the amazing massage. Will definitely be back next time we come visit. read more

Elizabeth has a unique gift. I've had many messages from many practitioners and none have had the impact on my body as Elizabeth has had. She has a powerful energy which flows freely through her hands. I mow lawns, weed whack, use a pick axe, hike, run, swim, surf, and bike regularly and after 90 minutes of message, my body is vibrating, rejuvenated, and most importantly, feels healed from the abuse I've heaped upon it...I've also participated in a healing star session which has also had a positive impact on my mind and body. Elizabeth is truly a magical treasure and I feel blessed to have her in my life. read more

Lizzie was truly INCREDIBLE! My husband and I stumbled across her private yoga lesson, and it was one of the highlights of our stay near volcano. We were truly transported to a magical place during the class. We are both from New York City, and have experienced many amazing yoga classes, but this was one of our all time favorites. I only wish we had discovered it sooner so we could have come again. read more

An amazing spirit with an amazing and challenging class. Great location and good vibes. I would be lucky to find this beautiful spot ever again read more

My daughter and I were in Volcano for a couple of days over Spring Break, hiking and relaxing. We stumbled upon Yoga Yurt Hawaii thru Yelp and found a real gem! A little out of the way, but so worth the effort to get there. All I can say is that I had a fantastic hot stone massage in the calm ambience of the Hawaiian forest. I'd do it again in a heartbeat the next time we are in the area! read more
