We visited this yoga studio interested in taking a yoga class. We are back in Princeville visiting, and wanted a place for yoga over the next few weeks. After experiencing the treatment we got, I do NOT recommend this yoga studio. The owner (the younger one, not the mom) told us there were NO openings in classes this week. When she learned we were not residents, she became extremely off putting and short with us. We thanked her and went to look around the small store a bit in shock. Within 3 minutes another woman walked in, and she told her they had a number of openings in most of their classes available this week. I couldn't believe it. I wanted to say something, but chose not to. Clearly, this yoga studio is NOT WELCOMING to visitors. Yoga shouldn't be about discriminating who should take your classes or not. We are aware that it's a "private studio", but all that means to them is that this studio picks and chooses who comes in. Doesn't seem very "spread peace & love". We are from east coast city area and very familiar with snobbery, but this owner takes the cake. I would recommend to the owner, that if you aren't going to welcome, or don't value people "visiting" Princeville who are hoping to share the joy of yoga (even though tourism is the number one industry in Kauai) then have a sign stating only residents are welcome, because the way you make a visitor feel simply coming into your studio/store in a tourist shopping center is sad. Do better! read more

My wife & I, visiting from CA, took Carolyn's flow class last week. We loved the space & the class itself. There is a heartwarming community in this studio that we were excited to be a part of. Definitely recommend coming here! (They have mats & blocks to borrow, no shower facilities FYI.) read more

Feb 2018 (update: Still Wonderful) I have explored the diversity and depth of the classes offered this year. The 6:00 pm classes offer a unique ambiance starting with evening light and and gently ending after sunset. I particularly enjoyed integrating the Restorative Yoga experience to my practice, and learned from the personal coaching provided. Today's Quote "Sometimes it takes energy to accept support". Monica Feb 2017 This is a great place with an exceptionally gifted and caring staff, creating a profoundly shared group energy with each practice. If you are visiting be brave, and be welcomed to this community. You will grow your connection to this amazing place. Today's quote "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

Metamorphose Yoga Studio - Yoga Near Me - Kilauea, Hawaii

This place is a dream. Visited in March 2020, right before quarantine went into effect. So happy to have taken a class here, from Carolyn herself. Wonderful experience, one of the best yoga classes and instruction I've had in several years of practice. I hope to visit Kauai again soon and stop in Metamorphose. read more

Tucked away in little Kilauea Town on Kauai, Metamorphose has a full schedule of classes to suite most yoga needs. I've been told from a friend who's a regular that the owner is very nice and she is picky about which instructors she will allow to lead classes there. Drop in rates are $15 and there are various deals to lessen the cost to $11-12. The studio is clean and well kempt. A portion of it faces the water and that wall has a glass door and window which provide a beautiful view for your session if you choose the right spot. The reception area has the usual yoga gear and some small boutique type items and there is a restroom. Tulasi led my flow type class this New Year morning and she was amazing. She started by asking if there were particulars that anyone wanted to work on this beautiful sunny morning. After gathering that info, she laid out for us how she was going to lead us through what I thought was going to be a 90 minute class. The class was great, had about 9 people and was fine for all levels. The energy Tulasi brought to the class was awesome. She is all over helping out with small adjustments to get us in good form and she gives nice alternatives to poses if one needs. At the end, when we were in the final asana , Shivanasana, she walked around playing a Crystal Singing Bowl to a relaxing Rain Forrest tune. She then sang a short song, in Hindi I think. It was the perfect, soothing and inspiring finish to a great yoga session. She even brewed a Herbal Tea to offer us afterward. All said and done it was 2 hours and I would not have changed or altered anything. read more

Metamorphose Yoga Studio - Yoga Near Me - Kilauea, Hawaii

See all

Carol is an awesome owner of her yoga studio. As a body worker myself I really appreciate her extensive knowledge and background in anatomy and how the muscles work together in yoga. Carol was very good with customizing the class to what the students needed, whether it be back pain or knee pain or that the person dropped in just needed to stretch out and relax. The other yoga instructors who work in the studio are awesome, I appreciate that they take time to expand their healing modalities. I got to join one of the workshops introduced in the studio and learned Reiki with another yoga instructor who works there. read more

My experience was fantastic. I felt very welcomed and comfortable. I took the theraputic class with Monica which was exactly what I needed after multiple days of hiking. Monica was a friendly, careing and gracious host, taking time to hear about and respond to individual needs. The class regulars were great too - open, energetic, casual. Nothing and no one too serious. The studio is clean, comfortable and has these great windows on two sides (& ceiling fans) that provide a pleasant breeze. And Monica gave me a great tip for a nearby must see (Stone Dam). I couldn't be happier with my experience here. read more

This is a great small studio with very nice staff and good instructors. It's is a small but well laid out and nice space and I always enjoyed class. I will certainly go back next time I am in town. Thank you! read more

My mom and I stopped by the shop Wednesday earlier in the day to see if they were having the Restore Yoga class and saw a signup sheet for Qi Gong at 2:30. Having practiced Tai Chi several years ago myself, and my auntie used to teach relaxation techniques to her middle school students, we decided to give it a try. The class was fun and easy and we learned several ways to move our qi, relax, cleanse and energize with breath and movement. After that class, the instructor Flora, also led a community acupuncture therapy session. I'd tried acupuncture a few times before with other physicians, but it was either too expensive or didn't really seem to make a difference. Recently I have been having intense pain under my shoulder blade preventing me from working full time so I decided to give it another try. The community session was only $30 so that it didn't drain my wallet either. I was really surprised at the quality and thoroughness of the treatment. She asked me questions and listened as I described the pain. My shoulder had been seriously inflamed for over 2 weeks almost bringing me to tears. Her treatment took the inflammation down several notches. Before the treatment, I thought I was going to have to quit my job and now I have hope. I can't wait to go back next week! (I only wish there was more than one session per week) After the community acupuncture my mom and I came back for the restorative yoga at 6. My mom had knee replacement surgery so it is hard for her to do kneeling poses but the instructor was very helpful and hands on with providing corrections and modifications. What a wonderful, relaxing way to end the day! This is a great welcoming yoga studio just around the corner from my house. I am glad I can take part in this healing with my friends and family. read more

Authentic and nurturing instructors. Yoga is church for me, a place that I go to find peace, myself and compassion. A place where I recharge. This is easy to do at Metamorphose with my instructor of choice, Tulasi. Masterfully, she meditatively guides you thru the journey of class. As a regular, I welcome visitors with the energy that they bring to our space and thank them for sharing their practice with us. Namaste read more

I hate writing a negative review and only do it as a last resort. I have gone in to the store 4 times and called almost as many times and the owner seems unwilling to deal with this customer satisfaction issue. I go to yoga to relieve stress and this whole thing has just stressed me out. To be fair to her, she does have a beautiful, but noisy (from the neighbors) studio. I bought a set of yoga passes... and then broke my hand surfing (making yoga pretty much impossible). She would not refund my money for the un-used passes... In Fact... she wouldn't even talk to me about it and that was most frustrating of all. All I wanted is something that felt FAIR to both of us. The store did offer me an in-store credit... but I'm 6' 3" 230 pounds and it's almost women's yoga clothes. NOTHING OF INTEREST. I understand customer satisfaction better than most as I have taught it around the country along with quality, productivity, and leadership. In closing, I will never take yoga there again and don't recommend them at all. read more

Metamorphose yoga is my #1 choice for yoga on the island! Carol, the owner, is a personable and kind masterful yoga instructor. The instructors Ben and Tumasi are amazing, each bringing their own very special talents, gifts and brand of magic. All are wealthy in integrity, wisdom and creativity in their teaching styles. The ambiance, decor, cleanliness, retail store, and special perks like herbal tea after class and great props really give this studio it's high rating in my book. I love the schedule and the class offerings as well as the overall vibe of this studio. The unique touches of weaving in sound healing through voice, tuning forks and crystal singing bowls adds a richness and depth to the yoga asana practices taught here. And, as a bonus, the Tuesday afternoon acupuncture community clinic is an amazing resource for locals and visitors alike. Kathy is a wonderful, talented and caring practitioner and truly benefited from this weekly offering. Many blessings and Aloha! read more

This is the real deal, not tourist yoga although it is of course tourist friendly. You'll get a good mix of a workout and a grounding experience. My husband and I did two radiant vinyasa classes while on the island. He practices with me when we're on vacation but doesn't otherwise have a regular practice. He was challenged but really enjoyed it. Instructors are knowledgeable, provide helpful adjustments and do well to create a mindful space. We'll definitely return next time we're in Kauai. Make sure you check out the Kauai Juice Co after class, perfect combo for your day! read more

The 2 classes I took here while vacationing are easily top 5 best yoga classes I've ever taken in 13 years of yoga practice. Both classes were taught by the owner and were perfectly balanced between pranayama, asana and dhyana. She even sang to us in savasana! It was heaven. If you are in northern Kauai, this is hands down the best class you'll find. Ps, check the website for class schedule as it differs from the yelp hours. Namaste and thanks for an amazing class!! read more

Beautiful studio, lovely owner/teacher & amazing class. Wished I was a permanent resident so I could be a regular.

My grandkids came to the kids class. Advertised for their age. We went to the class. they were 4 years at the time. They did the class and the instructor said...come on back see you next week. They went back and THEN....the instructor rudely told them to leave. Said they were not ready...the two broke out crying and left. I thought wouldn't it have been more appropriate to tell us after the first class that they were not ready, and saved my grand kids the emotional trauma????? Also today, the owner was very rude to us. She lets her dog off the leash and complains to business owners around the area that her dog gets lose because we leave food out...There is a leash law. I'm very sorry to have to write this as I LOVE yoga...and it would be so nice to practice across from where I work, however I feel it very hard to support this studio. read more

Very sweet and little yoga studio. I tried 2 classes and it's a wonderful way to start the day! They offer a variety of different classes from different teachers and are open 7 days a week. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend. read more

Went to 2 classes this week while on vacation and thoroughly loved the teachers and the classes. It was amazing!!! So soulful and just the perfect way to start a wonderful day in Kauai. Will always come back when I'm here. Also, a really cute boutique....bought some great yogi clothes. read more

This is a wonderful welcoming yoga studio. Went almost everyday of my Kauai vacation. Fantastic teachers, relaxing studio space with Hawaiian breezes and lovely light. Great blend of stretching and strengthening and mindfulness/relaxation. read more

This studio is beautiful and calming. The teachers are equally so. I have been practicing yoga for 30 years, in countless studios with many instructors. This studio tops them all. read more

Went to one class this week while on vacation, and I was impressed. Gorgeous space, lovely staff, and I had the pleasure of taking a class with the owner Carol. I am horribly out of shape and took a flow class, and she was terrific in giving many variations to every pose, meeting not only my needs, but those of the more advanced students in the class. The best thing about this studio? The kind, positive energy that flowed everywhere. I left feeling challenged, happy and excited. I only wish I had taken more classes! read more

The only place I do yoga. Fantastic space and the perfect atmosphere to drift off and relax.

This is by far the most beautiful and peaceful yoga studio on the island. I've been coming to the island for the past eight years and every class has been deep restorative and joyful there so much love and thoughtfulness in the teachings the studio space itself is immaculate and inspiring Carol the owner is kind joyful and offers a beautiful rotating new tea at the end of each class. Plus she incorporates singing bowls Candace is another teacher that I have really enjoyed taking class with. She offers a very loving gentle and well rounded practice. She has such a sweet way and I really loved her classes. if you are looking for a sweet beautiful restorative and rejuvenate of practice this is your studio. Tucktaway in the Stone building behind Kauai Jucie this beautiful studio offers a real place to unwind reset and connect back to yourself. Their gorgeous gift items yoga clothes and art objects on the wall new flowers always feel the air with an intoxicating aroma. I love the studio and I always miss it when I head back home. read more

My husband and I spent 8 days on the North Shore of Kauai and went to several classes here. The studio is new, clean, light, airy and beautiful. The mats and other things are CLEAN. The people (both instructors and local yogis) are incredibly friendly, warm, and open to visitors. We took all our classes with Carol, one of the co-owners; she was a great instructor who knows her yoga and teaches with a warm and open heart and huge smile. Very accessible personality (Those of us who come from big cities with aloof yoga instructors know why this was so refreshing). She was able to offer an all-level class with lots of offered modifications for those of us who needed them. And each class was very different, some had more flow, others had a slightly different style, so even going to several of her classes in one week, we didn't get bored or even complacent in the flow. The classes we attended were run with music in the background which complemented the atmosphere without distraction. If you are trying to find it, it's right next to the Healthy Nut (or something like that) food store in the complex with the Fish Market on the left as you pull into town. Look for them on Facebook for more information. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Metamorphose-Yoga-Studio-Boutique-Kauai/231109846999228 read more
