Specialties
At Ocean Deep Yoga, we offer courses in freediving, under the PFI educational system, and yoga. Yoga includes, but is not limited to, how we live our lives day-to-day (Yama/Niyama,) physical postures (asana,) and breathing techniques (pranayama,) outlined in greater detail in "Yogic Lifestyle and Freediving." OCean Deep Yoga emphasizes yoga as a lifestyle and philosophy that can confront and shed limiting beliefs, fears and bad habits that hold us back in our lives and our dives. Many schools here in the West teach a condensed, trendy, fitness-focused, version of yoga and leave out many of the deeper teachings and thereby ignore what I find to be the truly transformative elements of yoga. Ocean Deep Yoga blends the deeper teachings of yoga with PFI freediving and educate about the richness and peace found in between breaths and how to explore underwater potential safely on a single breath. We also teach pranayama (breath work,) and asana (postures) and meditation, to release tension, optimize breathing and lung function, and establish a calm and focused mindset. All of this is included in the Freediver Course. Yoga classes are held throughout the week in Kona and Captain Cook on the Big Island of Hawai’i. PFI Freediver Courses are held every month and can be arranged to fit your schedule!
