Yoga — 60 minutes

One mat. However you need it.

Vinyasa, slow flow, yin, yoga sculpt and mat Pilates — upstairs at Waialua.

Pick your tempo

Same room, same teachers, wildly different hours. Check the schedule for which style is on.

See the schedule

  • Vinyasa Breath-led and moving. The one that feels like a workout and a reset at once.
  • Slow Flow The same shapes with the pace taken out. Room to actually find the position.
  • Yin Long, still holds. Slower than you expect and harder than it sounds.
  • Yoga Sculpt Yoga shapes with light weights and real tempo. Bring the sweat towel.
  • Mat Pilates Pilates without the machine. Small movements, deep core, no springs to hide behind.
  • Specialty classes Sound bowl and other one-offs, run as events rather than weekly. Watch the schedule.

Which one should I start with?

If you want to move and sweat, take vinyasa. It is breath-led and continuous — you will be warm inside ten minutes and you will not be standing still. It is the closest thing here to a workout that also settles you down.

If you already train hard and never stretch, take yin. Holds run several minutes each and you use props rather than strength. People who find it “too slow” are usually the people who need it. It is the best companion to reformer and spin weeks.

If you want yoga that feels like conditioning, take yoga sculpt — yoga shapes with light weights and a real tempo, closer in spirit to our reformer Sculpt class than to a traditional flow. Bring the second towel.

If you are wrecked, jet-lagged or brand new to a yoga room, take slow flow. Same shapes as vinyasa with the pace taken out, so you get time to actually find each position instead of chasing the person in front. It is the easiest first class we run.

If you like the idea of Pilates but do not want to meet a machine yet, take mat Pilates. Small movements, deep core, and nothing to hide behind — a good way in before you book the reformer.

Your first class

Arrive ten minutes early so we can point you at the stairs and find you a spot. Bring a mat, water, and two towels — one to sweat with and one to lay over the mat, which you will want. There are showers, lockers and changing rooms downstairs, which is not true at our reformer studios.

Tell the teacher before class if you are pregnant, injured, or working around anything. They will give you the alternative shape rather than leave you to guess.

A drop-in is $27.99. Community classes, taught by our teachers in training, are $12.50 and are the cheapest way to try a style you are unsure about.
