The Yoga Nest
Yoga studio
👍👍 I went two mornings while on vacation and enjoyed classes by Alexa and Amara. Practices ranged from a bit challenging to more moderate. I was part of a 2-person class and then 7-person class. No masks required - which I think now aligns w/Hawaii's mandate removal. They have mats for $1, blocks and o...

Ashram
👍👍 I visited the Konalani Yoga Ashram for a week in 2016. I love the sangha (community). Being on the land was healing for me. The view from the deck looking out to the ocean is spectacular. I am forever grateful that I had the opportunity to visit here and would love to do so again in the future.
