Kalaheo Yoga

Kalaheo Yoga is an excellent studio. If you are on the south side of Kauai staying in the Poipu Beach area, it’s only a 10min drive from there!
The Yoga-​Barre with Laura and Courtney are amazing, I had to opportunity to take both their classes! Sara’s restorative yoga is the best thing after a long day or to prepare yourself for the week ahead.
I would recommend Kalaheo Yoga to anyone– you are lucky if you live on island and can attend weekly!

We drove in from Poipu every morning, Loved both sara;s and sandra;s classes. Both full of being in the moment and compassion, Our favorite yoga studio n Kauai!

So glad that we found this studio while on vacation in Kauai! We tried a Yoga Barre class with Courtney. She was awesome! Her positive energy shined as she instructed us through a great workout! We then tried a Vinyasa Flow class with Sandra. The class was packed yet she found the time to make us all feel welcomed! Her instruction was clear and encouraging! We willingly flowed through and excepted each challenging pose as Sandra was so positive, insightful and encouraging! Her support and expertise were apparent! The studio has a great vibe and all props are provided! They even have mats available to rent for $ 1 — so nice when one is just visiting! We will definitely be back the next time we come to Kauai! Thanks again Sandra and Courtney!!!

This place is awesome! My husband and I just returned from a week long vacation to Kauai and I did yoga at Kalaheo Yoga every other day that I was there. All of the classes that I took were fantastic and I was fortunate enough to take classes from both Sandra and Amy. Both were great instructors. I am in the second trimester of my pregnancy, and both instructors were able to provide modifications for me throughout class so that I was still able to get a great workout. Additionally, my husband has back problems, and a recent foot injury and they were able to modify the workout for him as well. The studio is clean, breezy and well equipped for a great yoga practice. While I was there, they had the October class special going on which was five classes for $ 50. It was a very good value, although had they not had that special going, I would have been willing to pay the $ 18 per class because the classes were definitely worth it. (Additionally, they have a wide variety of class packages, so you can get a good deal however you go about doing it.) Overall, wonderful experience. I look forward to going back to Kauai so that I can go back to this studio.

I was visiting from LA and took the Sunday Vinyasa class with Sandra. She is an excellent teacher, appropriately challenging with easy to follow instructions and a good overall flow. She even found the time to help my friend who was a total newcomer to yoga.
The studio is easy to find just of Hwy 50, very clean and airy and even though the class was almost full it did not feel crowded. There are mats for rent for $ 1.
I will definitely be back to take more classes here on future visits !

Took the gentle vinyasa class and after 30 minutes of gentle stretching I realized the class was not for me. I am used to a quick vinyasa where I am able to stretch yet get a nice sweaty workout at the same time. Definitely recommend for beginners or ppl interested in just relaxing, but not for those wanting something with a faster pace. Great studio. Just not the right class for me:)

I love yoga and wanted to find a welcoming studio to frequent while on the island. My first visit to Kalaheo Yoga was wonderful. Cheryl taught a restorative class that left me and the other two yogis in my party feeling wonderfully relaxed and happy to be here. She was also quite kind and obviously a warmhearted and accepting yogi. Today I went back for a Vinyasa Flow Level 2 class with Sandra. The class itself was just the right amount of challenging, however Sandra went out of her way to make me feel less than welcome. I made the mistake of telling her before class that I regularly practice Bikram. I could tell by her attitude toward my description of my experience level that she considered me beneath her. I have no doubt that she is much more experienced than I am. I have been practicing for only 10 months, but I like to try new things and didn’t feel her attitude was warranted. She then proceeded to belittle hot yoga throughout the class, making me feel singled out and embarrassed to even be there. I very much wanted to walk out, but I also wanted to find my own peace and not let her closed mind affect my practice. It was a very disappointing experience. I understand that hot yoga is not for everyone, but I don’t see the point in continually putting it down to an audience that you know enjoys it. I am so grateful for the studio I usually frequent and can’t imagine any of the instructors being so catty. If you’re a hot yogi that likes to try different things, I recommend trying Vinyasa elsewhere. I took a class at the Anara Spa (at the Hyatt) and the instructor there was much more like those at home. There was another Bikram student in the class with us and she made both of us feel quite welcome. I associate yoga with good energy and smiles and was shocked and disappointed with my experience at Kalaheo Yoga.

I need my vinyasa fix especially after long travel. I found this studio on Unilocal.Paula from California was covering for another. She was awesome! I went to vinyasa 2– interesting variations on transitions between poses and (short, sweet, and meaningful) discussion of ah-​uh-​mmm. Yoga-​Pilates class also interesting. Challenging without intimidating.

I started a dedication to Vinyasa Yoga this past summer and wanted to keep up my practice while vacationing in nearby Poipu. I checked out the website and then stopped by when I arrived in Kauai. Very nice studio! I bought the 3-​class package and attended the Mon/​Wed/​Fri 8 – 9:30am Vinyasa Flow classes (Paul on Monday, Sandra for Wed/​Fri). The instructors were very friendly & helpful and the locals that attended the classes helped me feel at home in Kalaheo. Without a doubt, one of the highlights of my trip to the islands of Kauai! I will be back for more on my next trip! ~Namaste~

Love this yoga studio! My husband and I have been a fan of Paul’s teaching for several years. He is such a unique teacher… seriously, there is no one like him. He challenges us in new ways, and we always leave feeling refreshed. We also got to take a class from Sandra, who is a great teacher, too. This studio is very clean, professional, simple and welcoming to visitors. We drive 20 minutes to get here from our condo, but it’s worth it. Can’t wait to take our class tomorrow!

I’ve been taking the Sunday Vinyasa class and it’s quite a wonderful way to start the morning! Sandra has a way of welcoming everyone by adapting the poses to the different levels of each student.
It’s very easy, even for those of us who are not routine-​minded, to follow her instructions and sequencing.
The online system for signing up for classes makes it especially convenient!
Namaste!

Wonderful yoga studio. Welcoming. Trade winds flow through the room. Great vinyasa and alignment classes. Makes for a much more balanced vacation.

Love this place. Attending classes at this wonderful studio made my vacation so much better! I enjoyed taking classes with both Ellen and Sandra. The studio itself is simple, clean, and easy to locate. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for good yoga.
