Where do I start. HiloYoga Shala is such a beautiful studio. Colee Garr has a created a sacred…read morespace that is artfully done with a simple altar and beautiful glass blown overhead lights and beautiful hardwood floors. It is conducive to a very spiritual practice. I think the Yoga Shala has the two best yoga teachers in Hilo I started with Saturday Ashatanga led classes with Colee once a week at 8 am, and immediately changed my work schedule so I can attend her morning Mysore classes. Colee is an amazing, extremely knowledgeable and beautiful teacher. I have been practicing yoga for over 13 years, and her cues and adjustments have significantly improved my strength, alignment and overall practice even more. I feel and noticed my body dramatically changed since her classes. Kristen Coyle's afternoon vinyasa classes are amazing. I so look forward to her classes. Friends think I am crazy for taking two classes a day, but I hate missing their classes. Kristen has spiritual message at the start of her class that really comes from her heart. She has amazing yoga sequences and no two classes ever feel the same. Sweaty and challenging, the class will keep you engaged and motivated. She never seems to have a bad day, always full of passion and so intuitive and caring in every class, and then..so blissful at end of class. I feel so blessed to have the Shala here in Hilo.

I got into the swing of things easily, I took more breaks to make sure I didn't get hot or lightheaded. When I visit Hawaii again I'll be sure to check the studio out. I would love to check out one of their lyra classes and get to know the instructors a little bit more. They also had some shirts and other merch available for purchase which I got one and it looks super cute!

I checked it out got a day pass and used all their amenities before and after my massage. I loved the extreme hot and cold temperatures they kept. They have a nice and hot jacuzzi, infrared sauna, steam sauna with eucalyptus with temp of 110. Nice and hot just the way I like it. Cold plunge tubs are 45 just cold enough to benefit a real cold plunge. It was great. My massage therapist Habib was amazing he used a technique called body tempering to soothe my aches and pains from chronic tendiopathy. He uses a steel bar bell. If you don't mind a little pain and like getting your facia scraped and rolled out then this technique is just for you. One of the best spa and bathing experiences I ever had . I have been to many spas and bath houses around the world. It was really great. Tips bring your own towel or it will cost you 5 bucks. If you do get a massage come prior and stay after your massage and soak in the tubs and you can shower after. If you are ever in the island and want to soak your body and recover after a long hike or swim check out Sento House. Thanks January Dakota and Habib Mahalo
