Power Yoga Hawaii

I have gone to this studio for almost two years. It is the only yoga studio I have stuck to. It is nice because it is donations based and they have various classes offered and taught by different instructors all days of the week at many different times. I try to go three times a week and if I have extra days off I go more. Some of my favorite instructors are Coco, Naomi, Theresa, Nina, and Emily. They have a website that lists all of the different days and times of their classes and who teaches them. All of the instructors I have had have always taken the time to say hi and get to know their students. They even give a brief background and description of their instructors.
If you need to change, there are two dressing rooms in the back corner. The studio also provides blocks, belts, pillows, and blankets for class use. If you don’t have a matt, you can rent one for two dollars. They have spray and towels to wipe and clean the matts. They also sell water if you need it, but it is a kind of expensive. There is paid parking in the back or you can try to find street parking or walk over from the mall since the studio is right across it. It is nice being able to walk across the street to eat lunch or grab something to drink at the mall, Nijiya Market, or at the bubble tea place downstairs.
My yoga practice has definitely improved since coming to this studio.

Usually I love this place and it’s a must visit every time I come into town but today the class was more like a Japanese tourist attraction than a yoga class. My favorite thing about power yoga is that it always takes the practice seriously while also providing a strenuous routine. The sequences we did today were very much beginner level and the instructors guidance was vague and hard to understand. the whole time all the tourists were treating the class more like an «activity» than a proper class and while I’m not faulting them for being there, it was not the type of class I have come to love and expect from this establishment.

The times I went to class here; I felt welcomed, I felt healthy, I felt challenged, I found friends and a healthier lifestyle. The Staff are magnanimous :) in skill and kindness.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
I feel bad for the guy who’s using my borrowed yoga mat next. Not only should you bring an extra towel, but definitely a change of clothes because on this fine Saturday evening, Liz, our instructor, gave us the best yoga sweat of our lives. I’m seriously feeling on top of the world right now and also like I just took a quick dip in the ocean.
I’m new to yoga and very much enjoyed Liz’s class and without a doubt will be returning to the 5 pm classes on Saturdays. Don’t ask me to name the moves we did but my favorites were the frog and baby grasshopper. Now that I think about it, I’m pretty impressed I could hold some of those positions even for a second. All thanks to Liz, who’s optimism and easy to follow instructions pushed me to my limits. She also has awesome music taste and kept the tempo of the class at a great pace. At the end, she let us pick our own relaxation pose and came around for us to breathe her essential oil blend. Talk about quality service.
Like others have mentioned, this is a donation class, and although it’s not required to pay, the suggested price per class is $ 15. Don’t have your own yoga mat? No problem. You can rent one for $ 2. Again, I highly recommend bringing towels unless you want a pool of puddle to appear by your
HAPPY SWEATING & YOGA POSING!

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever sweat that much in my life! In search of a new way to work out my body and my mind, I decided to give yoga a shot. I’ve done yoga once or twice before and have always been intrigued. I discovered Power Yoga Hawaii on Unilocal and have been super stoked to try it out.
We went to a Power Yoga class with Liz, she was awesome! Like I said, never sweat so much in my life. I got a great workout and felt a sense of calm walking out of the studio. This will definitely be a new weekend routine…

Love this place!!! Went here with a friend for a 500pm yoga class. It was 2 hours but it was great! It was very relaxing, at times very intense, it was challenging but also very restorative. The instructor was great and seemed knowledgable about the practice and was very encouraging.
You can find a list of times and classes on their website and the great thing about this place is that it’s donation based. They suggest 15 dollars per class but if you can’t afford that one day – no biggie. Just donate what you can.
You can rent yoga mats, towels or purchase water. It ranges from $ 2 – 2.50. They also have blankets you can use, blocks, and cleaning spray for your yoga mat. I highly recommend!

I’m not a huge yoga fan, but my friend is. He suggested doing yoga at some point during our week long vacation in Hawaii but I felt iffy about it. Honestly I just wanted to eat more poke and shave ice. Power Yoga totally changed my mind, and I’m so glad we found this studio!
The instructors are very welcoming, especially Kristy who led our session. The classes are donation-​based, and the suggested amount is $ 15. You can also rent a yoga mat and towel for $ 2 each. They also have cool swag like hats, which we totally bought… no shame.
The class before ours was slightly larger, but ours only had about six people in attendance. That’s an amazing size for a yoga class! The session was very doable, even for an inexperienced person like me. Kristy was very welcoming and helpful, from learning everyone’s name to giving each person individual attention during the class. I was able to master some basic yoga positions that I had not been able to perfect in other classes because Kristy is that good. Even though I was freaking out, I finally did a supported headstand for the first time!
I would definitely come back to Power Yoga again the next time I visit Hawaii and recommend this to both locals and visitors who like doing yoga or have always wanted to get started.

I’ve been going for a few months and love the class. They explain everything so it’s really helped me learn the different poses. The only thing is someone stole my favorite cheap flip flops that were molded to my foot perfectly today so I had to have my friend run across to Payless to buy me shoes so I didn’t have to walk barefoot down Piikoi Street. The other person left a pair 2 – 3 sizes smaller than mine. Ummm how do you not notice that? Going to keep my shoes at my mat from now on.

Honolulu has some amazing places to practice yoga, and I’m proud to say that Power Yoga Hawaii has been my go-​to studio for the past 2 years. I usually go to Dorian’s [2-​Hours of Power] Sunday class and occasionally the LED Meditation afterward if time permits.
The classes here are popular so try to arrive 15mins early to grab a comfortable spot. This studio isn’t heated, but because of the large turnout the room can get a bit steamy, so remember to bring a towel and water. At PYH, each class is never the same. The teacher’s always shake things up and are really some of the most talented, caring, and passionate human beings devoted to their students and classes. This is a donation based yoga studio (suggested $ 15 donation) so donate whatever you feel is appropriate in the box after class.
I love how this studio has deepened my practice and challenges me; allowing me to take chances on the mat that I probably wouldn’t be doing at a regular yoga class elsewhere. You feel SO AMAZING afterwards! There’s no other studio I’d rather be down-​dogging at on a Sunday afternoon than this one.

This is a good studio because they do the usual things right and add some special touches. The instructors here don’t just lead the class from the front of the room; they come to help you stretch or get into position if you’re having difficulty. The music they play in classes is really good and can be a mix of spa music, Enigma, and Bombay Dub Orchestra just as an example. I always get a good sweat from Yoga here and enjoy the great atmosphere.

Who wants to go to aerial yoga with me? Saturday’s mornings are aerial yoga mornings.
Power Yoga Hawaii is the yoga studio when you are leaving Ala Moana Mall, it has a big ohm sign in the window.
Parking is $ 1 behind the building.
Classes are donation based.
I feel so amazing after aerial yoga. Every time I’m in there I can do a little bit more. It’s amazing.
I took my lover to the meditation class. It was intense. It helped my personal meditation but be prepared to sit in silence for a long time.

I love Power Yoga Hawaii… It really helps bring yoga to everyone!
It is totally my kind of yoga:
1. It is donation-​based. This allows me to pay $ 20 on days I have it and $ 10 on days when I am strapped for cash! The suggested donation is $ 15 which I try to adhere to but the fact that I can do this on my own time is very helpful for a young professional on a teacher’s salary! It also helps that I don’t have to worry about buying a package, paying per class, etc.
2. It is movement based! Most classes are active, have music, etc, which really helps motivate me!
3. Their teachers are GREAT… super personable, flexible and talented.
4. Two locations with different achedules: Pi’ikoi and Kahala (one near my work and one near my home!)
I am so appreciative of PYH for providing donation based classes in Hawaii. Namaste.

Without a doubt, this is my favorite yoga studio of anywhere I have been. This was my very first studio way back when I first started yoga and all of my favorite instructors are those that I took classes from here.
The location is great, right on Piikoi across from Ala Moana. The entire street side wall is full length glass windows so you can enjoy the view while you do your practice. The interior is nice as well, large enough to comfortably support at least 20+ yogis.
Another great aspect of this place is that it is donation based, with a suggested donation of $ 15. Most people I see donate at least that much if not more, but I like that this would accommodate those younger than us who might be poor college students.
There are classes throughout the day on every day of the week and rental mats available for those just starting out. All of the instructors have been very friendly and students of all levels are welcomed.
Overall, I love this place and will miss it greatly now that I am living on the mainland. It is so hard to find a studio that fits perfectly in your life and for me Power Yoga Hawaii did just that.

Mr Fox is so ready for Yoga Rockstar 2 hour class. I’m still in farmers mode. But we both are missing Dorians poweryoga flow. He’s truly the best on the island. Don’t kill me with too many useless forward folds, this is one of the main reasons why I love Dorian & Lehua they are constantly mixing up their flows. Scoop and Kara, I never know what to except when I go to their class but it’s always a magical surprise. Here we come 2 hours of power yoga.

I have been going to Dorian’s class on Saturday mornings and ZOMG best way to kick off your weekend. Every Friday night, I always tell my bf that if he gets up early, I’ll skip yoga and go on a run with him… and right before I sleep I say a little prayer that my bf will be too tired for our runs. So far my prayers are working like a charm!!! Thank you, GOD!
FYI: Parking is free in the back til 11 so if you’re going for a morning class, parking is easy breazy!

Power yoga — mmhmm!
Not your typical, slow-​moving yoga class, Power Yoga Hawaii integrates music and fun into your yoga routine with a fast-​paced workout that’ll definitely make you work up a good sweat!
I’ve been coming to this studio for about 8 months now but only managed to write a review now, whaaat?! I know, overdue.
I always manage to snag street parking when I come straight from work, but if not, there’s the lot they share in the back (same parking as Ichiriki). Since I usually only take PM classes, I know that from 6pm on, is $ 1/​hour. Parking gets filled up pretty quick when the dinner crowd comes though so you could probably park in Ala Moana.
I love Lehua’s class! I always feel so comfortable in her class and have so much fun. (yeah, yoga can be FUN!) She walks around the room helping adjust posture/​positions and is so encouraging. Seriously though, her class still kicks my butt — she creates a great atmosphere for beginners to advanced. There will be times where you can’t do a certain pose or inversion, but it’s ok — she’ll show you different modifications in which you can do to fit your own experience level.
Most times, Scoop will pop into the class I normally attend and he’ll walk around the room to assist — he’s awesome!
Dorian is also kick-​A! His and Scoop’s class are also my faves. Their classes are always challenging and fun.
Don’t forget to bring a towel cause you WILL sweat (classes are normally held at room-​temp, so it gets toasty!) and if you forget your water, like I have done, they sell small or large bottles (~$ 2 – 3 i think). They also rent yoga mats for $ 2.
Suggested donation is $ 15 which you drop in a box upon exiting class. Worth it! Cheaper than any other yoga studio I know.
I’m hooked!

Located above Ichiriki on Piikoi Street, this Power Yoga Hawaii studio is a spacious and lofty studio with floor to ceiling windows along one wall and a striking om painting on the other. The area has very limited parking, but if you do not mind walking from Ala Moana or even from Ward, you may find more available parking.
I attended Saturday’s 1:30 p.m. Hour of Power with Miks. The studio looks as though it could fit up to 20 people, but we had an intimate class of just 6. We went through several vinyasas at a slightly vigorous pace, but modifications were encouraged. Miks walked around and provided much appreciated adjustments and words of encouragement. Although there were many advanced yogis in the class, Miks and the other students create a supportive and non-​judgmental setting for beginners and pros alike. I especially enjoyed the music that Hour of Power was set to. I heard songs from Christina Aguilera to Enrique Iglesias that helped to drown out some of the traffic noise from busy Piikoi Street.
Power Yoga Hawaii is a donation based studio with a suggested $ 15 donation. You pay at the end of class as you leave. I am sure I will be back soon to try some of the other classes and treat myself to a yummy milk tea boba at Kung Fu Tea downstairs soon!

The teachers: excellent.
The studio: inviting.
The music: uptempo and modern.
The verdict: lots of fun and hella healthy.

First timer and I’m sold.
To be honest, I strayed away from yoga because I needed something to help with shedding some weight, however, due to a lot of metabolic/​strengthening classes I’ve been doing with my trainers at a local gym (which I still love!), I realized my flexibility and range of motions sucked big time (I’ve been told I have the tightest hamstrings ever).
Anyway, I feel in love with the power yoga class. Though I can’t touch my toes or do exotic balancing moves, I did notice I worked my core, back, and thighs! (Which is what I hoped)
Point is, for a beginner like me, dropping in was not a problem. In fact, the teachers are friendly and very accommodating (they help position you and even encourage to try first or fake it ha ha)
The studio is clean.
The class times are abundant.
The teachers know stuff!
Try it out!

This DONATION BASED studio has classes every day of the week. I’ve only been to two different classes but this is def my go-​to place for yoga.
POWER 75 — Tuesday & Thursday class 5:15 — 6:30: This is my favorite class, it’s a combination of different yoga moves, some more challenging that others but it truly makes me want to practice at home. I’m am a supper beginner so whatever I don’t feel comfortable doing I just don’t, the instructors are really good about letting you be.
FLUID POWER — Wednesday 5:15 — 6:30: I went to this class once and wasn’t a big fan. It was a great class but there seemed to be a lot of repetition among the sets, like we would do a set of moves 2 or 3 times. What I did like about this class is that it involved a lot of planking so my stomach was sore the next day especially my obliques!
Don’t forget:
*You do yoga barefoot… cause I did :/​
*Bring lots of water
*Mats are available for rent $ 2 or $ 3
*Bring flexible clothes
*You will SWEAT a lot so bring a small towel
My muscles tend to get tight easily so going to yoga helps me stretch and leaves me feeling energized and ready to tackle the rest of my work week!
