I took both an aerial yoga class (3 times) and a hula class here, and really enjoyed both. The instructors were very knowledgeable and the classes were well taught, with both making really good use of the space. The Barefoot Ballroom is upstairs, and as the name suggests, this is a shoes off facility. The lobby downstairs is welcoming and has two restrooms, along with another room used for classes. The upstairs Barefoot Ballroom is where I took both of my class types. I was a little curious about the ceiling height for aerial yoga since it is a regular height ceiling rather than a tall studio, but it ended up not being an issue at all for the class. Everything was set up well and we had plenty of room to move. I also love that they offer virtual classes, so you can even take hula classes from home . That is such a fun option if you want to learn something Hawaiian while you are away from the islands. Overall, a welcoming studio with great instructors and a nice variety of classes. I would definitely take another class here if I am back in Honolulu. read more

I just love this Studio, I met the owner when it first opened, about 12 years ago. We bonded about being DanceStudio owners. I had just retired from teaching Dance and closed my studio in Florida. I had just moved back to Hawaii, and I was reaching out to the Dance community to connect and make friends. I had had just started taking some dance styles that had always wanted to learn Kizomba, and Samba but was too busy to learn. "Dances of love" was an event and they were using this beautiful DanceStudio, I remember loving the aesthetics of the studio and the warm friendly feeling. In 12 years later, I'm bringing my daughter down here for some dance classes. I did not realize how large the studio was, And I'm so happy that the studio lasted all these years. Still and Moving Center, offers a array of dance classes, from BellyDance, salsa, tango, Ballet, yoga, stretch, massage, therapy, aerial, classes, tai chi, hula, and the list goes on. They have classes for adult and children and offer in person and online classes. Right now, they're running a two week special, for $50 plus dollars you can take unlimited classes for t two weeks. I sat in on my daughter's classes, everyone was super welcoming. I love the two Bellydance teachers. There was so much love for their teacher and for each other. It made me want to join in and get some of that love. And it made me want to start taking some classes as well. Classes rates : Still & Moving Center They are having A Two week special you can try all the classes. They have two rates See them for the cost. $28.27 per class / drop in rate $240 for 10 classes $129 per month 14 four floor base Classes, but not including aerial classes. $172 unlimited classes, and that includes the aerial $250 All the Classes, Ariel and a one monthly massage (3 month commitment.) read more

My keiki attends the Keiki Hula here and Kumu Malia is outstanding! She's so patient and understanding with the kiddos. She makes hula fun! They participate in a few performances. The vibe is very family and community oriented. Sign ups are easy, and classes are affordable. Bathrooms are clean. Parking is very limited in their lot out front, but we've never had a problem finding street parking. Highly recommend this place for workout and wellness. Yelp 2025 Challenge: 07/30 read more

I signed up for introductory Hammock classes with Elisa Frequency. After driving over an hour to get to the center, I found out that she didn't show up. Thankfully, someone was working in the reception area. She was apologetic and kind. Hence, this review is 2/5 instead of 1/5. Parking seems rough. Honestly, I'd check out a different studio for aerial classes because that's quite unprofessional. I've been practicing for over two years and that has never happened before. read more

My wife and I recently decided to lead healthier lifestyles by making improvements in the foods we eat and incorporating more exercise into our daily lives. In terms of exercise, for starters, we both began to walk more. In addition, my wife wanted to begin yoga classes. We were on our way to Whole Foods two Sundays ago, when my wife said she wanted to visit a yoga studio close by. We went upstairs and opened the door, and we saw that a class was in session, so I closed the door, but the instructor came out and asking, "May I help you?" I replied that my wife was interested in starting yoga classes, to which he responded that we could go to their website to learn more, or if we came back in 30 minutes, he would talk to us. Understandably there was no reception area for people to inquire and the instructor was busy conducting a class. However, to be honest, I still felt turned off by this. We continued on our way to do our shopping but I also did a brief search on Yelp for a nearby yoga studio. Still & Moving Center came up and so after we had finished shopping, I suggested to my wife that we take a short detour to check them out. We didn't know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised when we entered and saw a reception area, with a person behind the desk, on a Sunday! Skyler was very helpful and encouraging in answering our questions. She seemed to genuinely care. We ended up signing my wife up for the Kamaaina Intro Special, one month of unlimited classes for $59. My wife is making good use of this special, taking different yoga classes and even tai chi chuan. She has been enjoying her classes so much that yesterday, I went ahead and enrolled her in the Unlimited Membership, to begin after the intro special expires. In addition to yoga and tai chi, they offer hula, belly dance, pilates, ukulele, and other classes. They also have fitness-related merchandise for sale and an in-house coffee shop. https://www.facebook.com/groups/hawaiiworld/permalink/310111178351378/?mibextid=oMANbw read more

Still & Moving Center - The still & moving choir! - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We have been going to classes at Still & Moving Center for many years. It all started when the center opened with Bollywood classes with the incredible Willow Chang and now my kiddo regularly attends Ms. Katherine Hearts youth aerial classes, workshops and camps. We are so delighted that Still & Moving Center brought back summer camps this year. My child loves coming here and this is such a great way for her to make new friends, have a creative outlet, stay in shape and have a healthy outlet for stress. I can't say enough good things and highly recommend the classes for youth and adults. read more

Murat. My introduction to the beautiful center. Medicinal twerking!!! Unreal, fun & feel good body study. Choreographed with such class, skill & appreciation of learning process, i loved everything about the Turkish Belly Dance class on Sat at 9:30. With influences of yoga, hula & Turskish delights this class was totally a highlight of my visit to Waikiki. Murat's energy, presence, skill & generous sharing are incredibly empowering in the healthiest of ways for spine & sexuality. A marvelous surprise!!! Cannot recommend enough! read more

I am now adding to my review, about the disgusting and abusive treatment I received at the stealing moving center. I suggest you read my other review,this is part of it. Malia claims to be a lomilomi practitioner. I'm form the big island land of Hawaii ware we have real Hawaiian culture. I open the first ever kava in Hawaii and the world and I'm familiar with lomilomi , as someone who has received, many treatments from Masters and their students. S Malia it's not a lomi practitioner. What distinguishes it from other forms of massage, is that it includes adjustments. When I was going to the Sterling movie center. I was going to schedule a treatment with her I told her how my back needed adjustment. She gave me a number for a chiropractor, and told me she doesn't do adjustments. That means she doesn't do lomi. Both her and the chiropractor for absolutely overpriced. read more

I came here for a Yelp Fit Event for Aerial Yoga and it definitely was a perfect event for me who practices yoga 2x-3x a week and is looking for a different fitness class for variety. Instructions from Kendra was clear and poses and positions were easy enough to do even without assistance. Lianne was there to help anyone who needed help. I assume it was easy because it was an intro class where she made sure we were comfortable with it before we started doing pigeon, plank, dolphin or downward dog with one foot, or even two in it. By the time it was time to go upside down near the end, I'm like, "Sure" without thinking, "what am I, a bat"? Thank goodness, I didn't have lunch before class. Savasana inside the hammock was a relaxing and perfect way to end the class. The place itself is very nice and clean and they host a wide variety of classes and workshops, not just Aerial yoga. They also have yoga, hula, pilates, martial arts, dance and more. They have class prices and memberships in their brochure (I'll post a pic) and the website. There is limited parking in front but you can park at Whole Foods and grab something to eat there after class. I will definitely come back to take some classes, hopefully to help deepen my yoga practice. read more

Today is my birthday and I decided to end my day with an aerial yoga class at Still & Moving Center! I love new adventures as I feel this helps to keep me young! I've taken aerial yoga a few times at different studios, but it's been awhile. I checked in with a very nice front desk receptionist and went upstairs to class. I completely didn't read the class description properly and upon arrival realized that I was not actually taking aerial yoga, but instead a silks class where you learn different footholds and positions. Totally cool but a seriously difficult workout! I learned a bunch of new things I'd never tried before and broke out into a sweat trying each new position. Just learning how to wrap the silks around my foot literally made my brain hurt. It was like doing complex math for an hour! The instructor remarked that my body would hurt for the next few days and boy, do I believe her! I decided the take the next class which was an actual aerial yoga class. I double checked lol! This was totally what the doctor ordered as it was the perfect way to stretch out my body after using all the muscles I rarely engage in my regular gym and yoga practice. Chris was my instructor and I absolutely loved his clear instructions, warmth and positivity! The class went by so quickly that I wished it was 90 minutes instead of 60. The stretching was AMAZING and as I enveloped myself in the silk hammock for savasannah I knew this was the perfect way to start my next year around the sun! Totally looking forward to taking BOTH aerial classes in the future and challenging my body to always try new things and have fun! read more

I came here to watch my friend's daughter dance hula. It's a great place and very calm, zen feeling. Kumu was very patient with the young girls and made it fun/enjoyable. The space is very clean and spacious. They have a couple of performances during the school year and I'm looking forward to see their May Day performance!! They offer cultural dances and yoga. The prices were affordable too!! Parking can be a little tight. I think there was about six stalls in front of the building. But Whole Foods is a 5 minute walk and after the third floor (I believe) is public parking. read more

I never intended to take Belly Dance class, but when I saw his performance last year, I was mesmerized and spellbound. His dancers were also elegant and they seemed to be laughing and having so fun that I knew that he would be my teacher too one day. I have been committed to dancing with him and going to class almost 3 times a week now since last April 2018. I have to say in my 10 + months of being his student, he has been extremely kind, compassionate, understanding, and a lot of fun. He is fair and always encouraging, even for many of his beginner students who cannot do the moves perfectly. He even has a dance group where he welcomes anyone who has a heart and passion to dance Turkish style belly dance, so he does not discriminate against beginners like me. The reason why I am so obsessed with his belly dance class is because it is so difficult and advanced yet still challenging and fun. Everybody always gets a great cardio workout and I'm always sweating within 10 minutes. For those students who cannot do the moves, he Encourages us to try and take our time and not rush the process of learning. He always tells us that it takes years to develop and master certain basic foundational skills. I think he says that so that we don't get discouraged and feel bad. He looks extremely professional and elegant with much technical finesse. He also teaches Pilates and Foam Rolling class at the Still And Moving Center, and has many private students there, who apparently also can't get enough of him and his great energy. He explained to me one time that through his dance, he is sharing his light energy into his classes for the students to feel joy and uplifted. That I believe he does. read more

I always look forward to the Yelp Fit Club at the beginning of the year! So when I saw Aerial Yoga was being offered at the Still & Moving Center, I quickly jumped in to RSVP. I tried Aerial Silks at a prior Yelp Fit Club event and it was way too difficult and left me feeling discouraged. I was hoping the Aerial Yoga class would be more my speed. The class was a perfect size- limited to 10 participants. On Saturday, I got to the lot about 10 minutes before 1:00pm, but it was full. I ended up parking at the Ward Village Whole Foods lot which was right across the street. After checking in, there's a space to remove your shoes and wait in the comfortable seating area. There is a bathroom which is very clean and shower rooms as well. We were led upstairs where the space was very open and clean. Kendra was our teacher for this event/class which started at 1:30pm. The silks were already set up at various heights. Kendra informed us that the bottom of the silk should line up to about your hip. There were mats available which we were able to set up under our silk. Kendra was very informative and friendly. Lianne also was present to assist. I felt very comfortable right from the start! I consider myself a yoga newbie, and have taken a handful of classes, but mostly practice on my own. I know a lot of the basic poses and felt like this class was perfect for beginners! I was comfortable challenging myself and also thrilled that I could do a lot more moves with the support of the silk. The fun part was being able to go upside down! It was a bit scary for me at first, but Lianne was super helpful and encouraging and helped me to get there! I was surprised at how much easier it was than doing certain poses on your own! The best part was towards the end when we got to go into the silk hammock like a caterpillar in a cocoon. It felt so comfortable and relaxing! I definitely got a good workout because I had the body aches the next day! So far this has been my most favorite style of yoga class and I would highly recommend it! As of this date, an Aerial Drop In class Online price is $21. There is a Kamaaina special of $49 for three classes. The prices are reasonable for the experience you receive. I felt really good taking this class. Kudos to Kendra, Lianne and the Still & Moving Center! Huge thank you to Emi and the Yelp Fit Club for putting this together. It's great to try new things. I look forward to my next Aerial Yoga adventure! read more

It should really be stressed that the, seated baby hula class, is for babies or keiki that can sit still. With about 2 minutes left in the class the instructor said to me, "Can you keep this one from jumping", because my 2 yr old (who sat quietly and paid attention for the first 15min) wanted to move. This class was more of a story time than anything else and for that I could have gone to my local library for free. Perhaps this class was also geared toward kids who attended this class weekly and will maybe pick up on all of the Hawaiian words used. It was difficult for even myself to pick up on the words and found it more distracting than educational. I will also mention that this experience began with with an unwelcoming staff member who took our payment. This was also the case when I visited the center a few months ago for a baby yoga class that had very little yoga. I will give praise to one of the older female dance instructors who invited our keiki to join her class for a few minutes as we left the baby yoga class on our first visit. Although I did not enjoy my first experience at the center, the emails from the owner that began to appear in my inbox after my first visit made me want to give it a second chance. My second time there was even less enjoyable. I will not take another class there and neither will my friend who I asked to join me. She also did not appreciate how the instructor handled the situation with my energetic child. I have not met the owner but this was especially disappointing because her emails get me excited and she seems very welcoming but the center is quite the opposite. read more

Classes are fun & friendly! Teachers are wonderful- kind & considerate! They very much hear you & are attentive to your needs!

Life is short. Take more dance classes. I practice aerial dance here and I always walk away with sore arms, cramped hands and a happy soul. All of my teachers have been inspiring, strong and supportive. I just can't get enough practice and to fulfill that need, they just started offering open aerial gym time to give all us students time to climb those silks. BONUS: They offer work-trade for classes. I clean the studio for 90 minutes & get a credit for an aerial class. Not only do I get to practice, but I also get to serve the studio--a satisfying combo. Take a class today. read more

Still & Moving Center - My 2nd week of class. Beauty disguises the pain! - Yoga Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The moment I stepped into this glorious space, I felt overwhelmed with Aloha! What lovely teachers, what a beautiful, beautiful center and so many amazing movement forms to explore! My husband and I signed up for the 1 month unlimited class (2 person family) while on our annual Hawaiian vacation and so far we've danced lots of Nia with Renee, Krista & Goldyn, explored Aerial Yoga with gorgeous Wendi, Improv Comedy with Genie and got hooked on Feldenkrais with Eve. And there's so much more we want to do - Aikido with a 6th degree Aikido Black Belt Master, Tai Chi, Hula, Meditation... The teachers have been so welcoming and my husband and I cannot believe the degree of skill they all have. We have enjoyed throughly each and every one of our classes. After class, shower and change at the Center's luxurious bathrooms where only the best organic amenities are provided. Nice! Feeling peckish? There's healthy beverages and light refreshments on sale for a small price. Every so often the Center hosts special workshops and events. I can't wait to attend recording artist's Mihana Souza's Learn Family Hula and Concert on Nov 18th! She is a legend! If you're looking for somewhere to connect to mind, body and spirit, where everyone is welcomed equally, this is the place. The location of the Center cannot be beat. There's plenty of parking across the street at Nordstrom's Rack. I'm so grateful I've discovered this Center. Treat yourself to a class if you haven't yet been here. First class, after all is free! Mahalo everyone at Still and Moving Center! I'm a huge fan! read more

My husband and I were staying in Oahu and visiting a friend who lives in Oahu. She recommended Malia Helela for a Lomi Lomi massage at "Still & Moving Center" , and as the universe would have it, they were able to accommodate us for a couple's massage during our stay. I had Malia & my husband had Sarah as his massage therapist. This was the best massage I've ever had. I'm used to a Swedish Massage, and it took me a little time to get used to Lomi Lomi's long, smoothing strokes. I loved the Hawaiian chants & visualizations I received today. Malia is very intuitive and I felt safe, blessed and grateful for her loving touch. Sarah uses firmer pressure and my husband said she found spots on him that he didn't even know held tension. "Still & Moving Center" has tons of classes and teachers/ therapists to choose from. I would come here all the time if I lived here. I highly recommend it! read more

I've finally found my ultimate favorite work out activity! Aerial Yoga... YES PLEASE. The Still & Moving Center is the best. Awesome customer service. Everyone who works there is so sweet & you can tell they all have a genuine interest for the overall well being of their clients. I haven't personally tried the other classes they have available (check out their website to see the many classes they offer) because I have become so addicted to my aerial classes! The studio is very clean & the perfect environment for working out. I spend most of my time in the Barefoot ballroom. Nice cork and wooden floors, very spacious with one wall completely covered in mirrors. Windows & a skylight to bring in some natural light... Some of the walls are painted & nicely detailed with their motif. They've also got a statue of shiva. im telling you it's awesome! They have the power to dim the lights and play music on their stereo system for total relaxation during savasana. Plus there are fans and an A/C unit so it doesn't get too heated! So far I've been to classes taught by Katie & Ki. They both have different teaching styles...but they also teach very different classes. Ki teaches beginners aerial yoga - as well as conditioning classes - So really getting to know the basics and becoming aware of your body and how to use it properly to engage the right parts. She is very funny, sweet, and helpful. Katie teaches aerial yoga alignment & fun - where conditioning is incorporated for warm ups, but we do a lot of fun and exciting poses. She is very enthusiastic and gets excited with her students. Very encouraging as well! Both of them are great & I can't wait to meet the other teacher, Angela, who is returning. Hanging inverted all the time takes some getting used to - as well as positioning the silks on your body properly. But I honestly love aerial. My body feels nice and stretched - hanging in the air and using your body weight while suspended allows your body to stretch in ways that are impossible to do on the ground against gravity. It's also a great workout because you are constantly engaging your core! All the other students are friendly as well -- so it makes for a great environment I love being in all the time. I know it's not for everyone! But I recommend trying it at least once! The first class is only $4 & they have specials for your 1st, 2nd, & 3rd month unlimited. Check out their website. CAN'T WAIT FOR CLASS TONIGHT :) I'm telling you, I'm addicted. read more

I just love the hula classes here! Malia's hula classes are so inspiring and joyful. I have been taking classes for over three years and every class is wonderful. The hula classes are via Zoom so you can dance from the safety of your home! They also have a great variety of other classes on Zoom! All the staff are welcoming, helpful and kind. I highly recommend trying a class! read more

Love this place! I was invited by a friend who seems to know every great place in Honolulu so I trusted the invitation to Nia without even knowing what Nia was. The class was surprisingly wonderful, emotional, freeing and exhilarating all at the same time. My needed to move. I needed to feel deeply. I needed to cry, and sweat and sing and spin, and stomp, and shimmy, and flow, and breathe and we did that and a whole lot more in this very unstructured form of expression. I bought a class pack for 10 session for a discount of $6 per class. Worth it! read more

The Still & Moving Center is a serene oasis in the middle of the busy Ward and Ala Moana area of Honolulu. This place has it all if you are looking for meditation, Pilates, yoga, Feldenkrais, martial arts, hula, and aerial among other classes, retreats, and workshops. I often find achieving poise, flexibility, and balance to be much more challenging than working out at the gym. The classes offered here focus on those elements, which I think help in a different way than an intense cardio class to reach a deeper self awareness of your mind and body. Great for young people and seniors. There are classes where you will definitely get a workout and stretch those stiff limbs and muscles. I think when I started going to the center last year, classes were only around $12 per class if you bought the class pack. I believe the price has increased to $140 for a 10 class pack, which equates to $14 per class. The drop-in price is $17+tax. I definitely think that's a bit high, so you might just want to shell out $140 for a better deal to try out all the classes that are offered. Membership is available as well, which would only be worth the price if you plan to attend a lot of classes each week. read more

This place is awesome! I have been going for nearly a year and after the pandemic started I started taking Zoom classes with them. The classes are awesome with quite a variety and the teachers are very knowledgeable and helpful! With being trapped inside due to a work at home order, the Still and Moving Zoom classes offer me socialization and fitness! I signed up for a Golden Circle membership so I could take unlimited classes and it has been fabulous - I take belly dancing, hula, yoga, NIA, MELT, foam roller massage, Pilates, meditating, Oli (Hawaiian chanting) and participate in Gems from the Wisdom Tradition and Satsang - which they offer on a regular basis, and they have made quarantine so much more tolerable!!! They also have wonderful special events like mantra and breathing classes. I feel like both my mind and body are getting a real treat! read more

Maybe I'm in the dark, or maybe this place is a well-kept secret, but I had never heard of Still and Moving Center until Stephanie at Symmetric Rolling referred me to Tara, a massage therapist who works here. I'm grateful for the tip! I sought Tara's help for relief from a trigger point and chronic pain associated with an old injury. She was very professional and skilled; one of the few massage therapists I've encountered who has the knack for performing deep pressure massage without causing excruciating pain. Tara somehow managed to work out the kinks in my muscles while lulling me into a state of relaxation, and I left feeling a whole lot better. In addition to massage therapy, Tara works at the center teaching yoga classes. Highly recommended! read more

My rating is ONLY for AERIAL yoga classes. I love love love aerial yoga, the idea, the workout, the benefits, but at Still & Moving Center the one hour allotted for each session actually only 20 or so minutes for doing the initial aerial exercises. The rest just preparing the class as in hanging the silks, talking, floor exercises. I took about 7-8 classes so far with different teachers and I couldn't bear to introduce myself to the class one more time, it gets really old. I bought a package and still have some sessions leftover but I'm just going to let it expire. I could listen and switch my mind off, but I hate when people make me talk. Socializing is not why I take yoga classes. Most importantly when I take one hour aerial I expect to get more aerial than 20 or so minutes. read more

I re-discovered this place after I injured my knee and hip running. I was told by my doctor that I needed to strengthen my core and find low-impact exercises in the meantime while my body healed. I finally resigned myself to taking yoga/pilates with much resentment. But to my surprise, because of Still and Moving Center, I actually look forward to going to class now! I looked into a lot of different yoga/pilates studios in Kakaako/Ala Moana, but the S&MC seemed the most welcoming and inclusive. I'm clearly a newbie and wanted to go somewhere where I wouldn't feel like a total idiot, because I had no idea which asana was what. It also didn't hurt that it was walking distance from my house! I purchased the 2-week trial membership for regular classes and also the 3-pack Aerial 101 class to begin with. It gives new members a chance to try out different classes/instructors and figure out what kind of membership they'd like to have after the trial is over. It's well-worth the price! In my two weeks, I tried the classes I came for (yoga, pilates), but also tried out other movement practices (aerial, dance, nia, etc) for the heck of it. It's been nearly a month now and I've gone on to purchase more class packs both for regular classes and aerial. The Center is amazing! It's so easy to book classes online and find something that fits my schedule. They even have tons of classes on weekends! YOGA I love that there are different types of yoga classes with varying degrees of difficulty. I go to two different kinds and I like the variety. Many of the instructors are also into healing arts and are very cognizant of students' needs and limitations. I used to think I'd be bored but it's been challenging and also freeing. It's nice to be in a non-competitive, spiritual environment, that takes the practice seriously, but not itself too seriously (if that makes any sense). DANCE I've added hula and latin dance classes to my weekly schedule! I'm not a dancer by any stretch but I feel like the dance classes have helped me be more conscious of my body and movement. Hula classes are beautiful and it has helped me appreciate Hawaii and the culture even more. Malia is a wonderful kumu! They also just added latin movement classes which I've really enjoyed. I've always liked shaking my hips to latin music and this class gives you the foundations of latin dance movement. Lots of fun and also a great workout! AERIAL Wow. That's all I can say. I took Aerial 101 classes with Marta who is a phenomenal teacher. She made me feel confident enough to take regular classes. Maybe, too confident. I've joined her Aerial Conditioning classes and they are kicking my butt! But I feel stronger and stronger after each class. I also started taking Aerial Yoga classes. I'm really liking the difference with grounded yoga. I get deeper stretches but am also able to do more inversions (which I'm not quite able to yet in regular yoga). I think both types complement each other. I had one Beginner Aerial class that was kind of horrid, but it was just with a visiting teacher. Heather who taught the other classes I've attended is great and has really helped me with getting the poses and stretches right, instead of feeling like a fish flailing in a net! I actually feel elegant when I'm in her yoga class. Elegant, then exhausted. OTHER CLASSES I also take a Conditioning class with Spring. It's a tough class, because it works out every part of your body, but that hour goes by so fast. A lot of the classes, I find are like that. I get surprised when the hour is up. There's so many other offerings. There's hoops and martial arts. They have classes for kids and for seniors. It's fantastic. The Still and Moving Center has been a great place for me to take stock of my health and, as they say, "invest in yourself". Everyone there seems to genuinely want to give you a great experience, including your fellow students. There's no artifice or elitism at all. It's just a group of people who care. If you're looking for a place that has the rigor/discipline of a solid movement studio but has the flexibility for whatever your needs/limitations are and isn't your run-of-the-mill gym, this is it! Just leave your shoes at the door and jump right in! Ps. They also have a boutique where I bought a pair of yoga pants when I was running late for a class and I've gotten compliments from EVERYONE. Totally worth the investment. read more

Well, the bf enjoyed his time there. He was literally the ONLY dude in the entire place for the evening. Seems like this is a very friendly place to explore lots of different types of classes in a friendly environment. Plus/con: we were 15 minutes late to class because of traffic, but didn't miss anything. I wonder what they did during that time... Lucky us, there was tons of parking in front open. Ki was a great teacher. She's someone I would definitely want to go to a yoga class with as the instructor (calm, sweet, kind). Had to laugh however when our intros went like this: name, reason for taking class, what our purpose is as human beings (*that escalated quickly*). Aerial silk 101 was a fun class to do a drop-in. We learned some basic moves and became familiar with the silk. I learned mostly that I want a hammock in my future dream house. I would totally sleep in there. Hint: you can reserve a spot online for class and not have to pay in advance, which is really nice. read more

In response to the manager's comment about my review: If there was such a policy then, why was I accused of having parasites vs. being simply informed of the policy? If there was a policy in place at the time, why were other patrons bringing their dogs as well? That just does not make sense. Regardless, the issue of the OTHER patron having bites indicating THEY are contaminating your facility with parisites was never addressed. No one ever responded to my calling in multiple times to inquire about this concern, hence I did not return, and would recommend the same for others. read more

I went twice last weekend - to an ecstatic dance session with Heera in the ballroom and Drums Alive with Karen in another lovely dance studio. So much fun! There are so many other classes I want to check out - Nia, Mindfulness Meditation, TaKeTiNa rhythm meditation, laughter therapy, Tai Chi... Lots of classes for kids, too. The building is beautiful! Marble changing rooms, tasteful artwork, a gorgeous sprung mango floor (so gentle to my feet). Lots of payment options and packages, including discounts for students. The first class you attend is free, too. Parking is a bit down the street - I parked in the lot by Pier 1. It looks like new parking garage will open there shortly, too. read more

This place is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I recently became a monthly member, and cannot get enough! I used to hate to exercise, because I thought exercise couldn't possibly be fun... Then I found the Still & Moving Center. I am SO thankful for this place- where I can move my body and HAVE FUN!! Everything about this place is amazing. If you haven't checked it out yet, YOU ARE MISSING OUT. This is hands down the most beautiful movement center on island, probably in all of Hawaii... probably beyond that too. From the moment you pull up, it is pure magic. The bright turquoise and orange building on Queen Street is hard to miss, and they have free parking RIGHT in front. Their Eco-Boutique has some of the most gorgeous, unique, eco-friendly yoga/dance clothing I've ever seen. They carry a line of leggings made from recycled plastic bottles! SO cool I had to get a pair. The mango wood dance floors are out of this world! They are "sprung", with springs underneath, they feel sooooooo good on your body to dance, jump, leap and twirl on... I have a lot of back pain and issues, but when I dance on this floor, I feel no pain. They offer many different kinds of massage, including "Ashiatsu" (Oriental Bar Therapy Barefoot Massage) in their tranquil healing room... I had a massage by Daniel the other day- pretty sure it was the best massage I've ever had. The classes they offer are some of the most unique and fun classes I've ever taken. They offer almost 100 classes a week- some I've taken so far and LOVED are: Ashtanga and Vinyasa yoga, aerial yoga (a must try!), Nia (SUPER fun dancing), Tai Chi, Pilates, Tahitian, Hula (both Kahiko and Auwana styles with the beautiful Kumu Malia Helela), Feldenkrais, Ballet Barre, West African, Bellydance... and so much more... With new classes and weekend workshops being added every month, there are always new movement forms to try. I honestly haven't taken a class I didn't like, and the instructors are so wonderful. Another amazing thing about this place is that although it is GORGEOUS and feels high-end with the beautiful decor, it is very down-to-earth. There is a great sense of COMMUNITY there... The Director, Renee, and staff are so warm, genuine and welcoming. This is a place where I feel comfortable. I've met many wonderful people there who have become my great friends, and I look forward to meeting many more! They also offer a "first class free"- an awesome offer to go check this place out. It's truly a special place. read more

I cannot believe I never wrote a review for the Still & Moving Center! The Barefoot Ballroom has become like a secondary home to me - and I am the Yelp Duchess here... The Center is such a beautiful place in so many aspects. The first time I came in, I was struck by how vivid the outside wall was: deep turquoise, so pretty! The inside is gorgeous and well-decorated. There are so many different rooms, each having its unique atmosphere (I'm particularly fond of the Sun & Moon Room). Even the bathrooms and showers are luxurious and sophisticated. Also, I found the location to be very convenient, as I am always biking around Ward Ave, Queen St or Ala Moana. I first discovered the Center through Matt Meko, my favorite yoga instructor on the island, who was holding a donation-based class for a while. I fairly recently started Aerial Conditioning with Jessica, who is HPU's amazing dance coach. I came twice that week, twice the following week... And the third week, I tried a third class, Aerial Yoga with Wendi. I fell in love with it even more, and came four times on the fourth week. I then had Chandra as a sub teacher... who easily convinced me to sign up for her new series of Aerial Dance classes. Needless to say, I am very grateful for their student discounts! I fell asleep quite a few times being suspended in the hammocks. It is the ultimate cocoon. I would definitely recommend these classes to everybody. I am next really looking forward to try a foam-roller class with the adorable Karen. Finally, I have purchased several gifts and postcards from their boutique, and they were always a hit! read more

The Still and Moving Center, while only being opened for a short time, has made a great impression on me. I started going to the center when my wife was told about it by a Yoga Instructor at a different studio. I took a free first time session of Tai Chi for Better Balance and I have been hooked on it since. The Tai Chi for Better Balance is a CDC approved fall prevention class designed for people with balance and falling issues (to my Veteran brothers and sisters you can't go wrong). The instructor Jerry has changed my world. I am a disabled Veteran who has had seven knee surgeries and several other disabilities! This class has helped me regain my confidence in walking and has helped me relax my muscles like never before. Jerry is a fantastic instructor who truly cares about his students. I can not put in words what this class means to me, the words above seem so inadequate! I also have taken another class offered at TS&MC called Feldenkrais. This class takes you within yourself to rediscover your body. You learn that life, medical issues, your environment, etc. have changed you in ways you do not understand. When I started I found out that all my surgeries and neurological issues have caused my body to forget how to properly move, breath and feel! In my first class I started moving parts of my body that I hadn't been able move for years. Eve, the instructor is a miracle worker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She always makes sure you are doing the moves slowly and properly. Small movements makes amazing changes in your body. Again I can not really put into words what Feldenkrais has done for me!!! If you knew me before, you would be shocked at what I can do now and I have a long way to go, but I am certain my body will keep responding. The Still and Moving Center has many many other classes and I have heard only good things about them. The staff are very helpful and make sure your experiences are always positive. My life has been so enriched by the Still and Moving Center and so can yours!!!!!!!! Check it out at www.stillandmovingcenter.com You have nothing to loose and everything to gain, I hope you enjoy going there and may God and the universe watch over you!!!!!!!! read more

Since it opened, I've done Nia, ecstatic dance, hula, and taken a few workshops. Renee, Angie and the rest of the staff are great at making you feel at ease. The space is beautiful and very welcoming. I really love my Kumu Malia. I was born and raised in Hawaii and had hard experiences with hula. But Malia makes my bad experiences and my lack of experience seem very manini. She is a wonderful Kumu. read more

So far I have been really satisfied with my yoga classes. Taking into consideration I am a beginner and have no knowledge of yoga and since taking classes, I feel absolutely in love with YOGA!! I wish I could take the AM classes since I have the full membership; however, with work during the day at least I'm still able to take the PM classes! Everyone here is so friendly and so peaceful. The staff is very welcoming and open arms. The place is clean and smells wonderful. The teachers are great and welcoming. I was a bit disappointed with the service after signing up and for membership and not getting a full tour of the place (which is something their staff lacks). I did get lost since I don't know what the rooms are called where any of the classes are held. If your interested in yoga classes, definitely take the vinyasa classes from April and vinyasa flow from Amanda, two awesome ladies! Definitely will break a sweat. Other than that, I am content and love my yoga classes! read more

Love yoga? Want to expand and challenge your yoga experience with something new? Yoga yourself into a drop-in aerial yoga class at the Still & Moving Center with Wendi. Aerial yoga helps deepen the stretch, balance, and core strength in traditional yoga poses with the use of reinforced silk hammocks that are suspended from the ceiling. **Remove footwear before walking up the stairs or into the studios.** The drop-in aerial yoga class did not flow sequentially from pose to pose as most yoga classes (i.e. Vinyasa, Anusara, Hatha, etc.) do. This may be due to the nature of it being a 'drop-in' (e.g. introductory) course to aerial yoga geared more toward beginners of aerial yoga (not necessarily to yoga itself). My girlfriends and I take yoga classes regularly and we really appreciated how the suspended hammocks deepened the stretch and challenged our balance in many poses. However, some of us got a little motion sick from doing some of the poses in midair in the hammock. Overall, we liked the class and are interested in returning to one of Wendi's regular aerial yoga classes. The studio is very clean, open, and well ventilated. I especially like the diversity of classes the studio offers as well as how many classes are geared toward kids. Maybe the next course I try at the studio will be a yoga class with my 4-year-old son. read more
