Big Island Yoga Center

Big Island Yoga Center is just off the highway near the three banks in Captain Cook. The building is shared with a doctor’s office, which apparently means that you’re not supposed to park there during the day (weekends only), but you can find parking elsehwere nearby.
The space is beautiful and benefits from a nice cross-​breeze. It’s the only place I could find nearby with a predictable and relatively full schedule of classes, though the bulk of the classes seem geared toward Iyengar and restorative practices. That’s not necessarily my thing, but I still enjoyed the classes I took, and Julie, the teacher, had absoultely no problem with a newcomer/​tourist like me stopping in. Everyone else in the class was clearly a local. Give it a try if you’re looking for a vacation from your vacation!

While on vacation on the Big Island in Hawaii I found this yoga center and dropped in for a 90 minute class which I found to be a wonderful way to get some exercise while traveling. The instructor Joanne was very friendly and welcoming and the class itself was very helpful in addressing a slight back strain and was great for an overall workout. I would go back to the Big Island Yoga Center for classes. It was a chill place, not too pretentious, and had some windows facing the ocean in the back of the studio.
