Tulasi leads the class in a mixed yoga practice that adjusts for all levels. Her calm voice leads you through 90 minutes of outdoor yoga, grounding your practice with nature and the stunning views, and maybe even catching a view of a few dolphins playing off in the distance. Her yoga class is a must-do every time you are in Princeville or can drive over for an early morning session on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We took the class on a Friday, and it was gorgeous weather with low humidity. On Monday, the weather gave us rain, but the elements did not deter the class, and instead, we embraced the beauty of centering ourselves and feeling the flow between stretches, energizing our core and our minds. I found the practice beautiful and peaceful.

The instructor offered modifications to the hot yoga class I took, and I really felt the benefits of each posture afterwards. For both classes, I was really sore afterwards- and I consider myself in really great shape. Overall, wonderful experience, classes, instructors, and variety of classes. Would definitely recommend and come back again!

Both classes were hot - that infrared heat is no joke - and both were hard! Kicked (and sculpted) our butts! We were dripping in sweat and we were a good sore after each. I'd frequent this class if I lived nearby! Bring your own mat, towel, and water. They provide the weights/props. $28 for a drop-in seemed very reasonable! Thanks for a great two classes.

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.

We visited this yoga studio interested in taking a yoga class. We are back in Princeville visiting,…read moreand 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!

Thais Repetto is an amazingly gifted Yoga Teacher. Her style is Ashtanga. Many people at the gym…read more(Island Gym & Fitness, Hanapepe) had kept coming to me and saying that this class with Thais had changed their lives. I was really hesitant so I waited about 6 months before I made time and made it my intent to try Thais' class in Ashtanga Yoga. Don't wait as long as I did to experience this wonderful human being. Although I am Indian (Asian Indian, not Native American) and have tried yoga before, I decided that I did not need it in my life and "working out" would suffice for me. I had also been persuaded by some of my religious peers not to take any yoga classes because it was spiritually "bad." The experience I had with Thais was anything but "bad." I had stretched kinks out of my body, had greater realization of my body's aches and pains and I even felt taller after I left the class. I had a new awareness of my breath and being in the present. Thais is completely relaxing and challenging at the same time. She does not believe in making yourself stretch till you have pain. She prides herself in allowing her students to hear what their bodies are telling them. I am completely blessed to have found her on this small island. She really knows this practice well and is very kind to her students. With her Brazilian accent and pursuit of joy and happiness- you don't want to miss this instructor. She also teaches yoga at the Sheraton, Poipu, Kauai at 8:30am. You can book her class at the Beach Activities for only $15.00. Thais offers private lessons at reasonable rates. Mention you found her on Yelp! Book sessions at thaisrepettohawaii@gmail.com

We loved the classes so much that we have continued to work with Kristen via Zoom since our return to the mainland, and even as someone who has been practicing yoga for 30 years, I find myself learning so much from Kristen. She tailors each class to meet us where we are that day, and also finds ways to push us to new accomplishments. We feel so lucky to have found her!

I initially joined with a two week, unlimited membership to try some classes. They offer multiple memberships and class pack options. I am currently on the one year unlimited membership, which I highly recommend for people who live in the area. People visiting Kauai come to classes too.
