Big Island Yoga Center 81-6623 Hawaiʻi Belt Road, Kealakekua, HI 96750

"A wonderful nurturing supportive yoga studio. This is the place to go if you are new to Yoga or want a place to go that is welcoming to all then the search is over. From the moment I walked into the studio til now a year later it has been the best experience. I feel like the value I get far exceeds the nominal cost. The teachers are knowledge and extremely helpful in making sure that my alignment is correct and are able to help use different props that are supportive if you are having aches or pains."

"After attending 2 classes at Big Island Yoga Center, I found a community of the most kind and caring people on the Big Island. Classes help me heal chronic back pain, and I felt supported and encouraged in every asana. I love all the caring and talented teachers at BIYC and the community they support and care for. Big Mahalo!"

"This is a great studio with quality instructors. Many teachers practice and teach from the Iyengar lineage, which is the most intensive and attentive lineage of yoga training that is readily available. Teachers make thoughtful adjustments and accommodations, but they never let you be satisfied with just remaining in your comfort zone. Other yoga studios may market themselves as “do whatever feels right,” but thankfully this studio stays true to its method and directs pupils towards the deeper aspects of yoga. If you want a studio where you can get unlimited classes for $79 a month, this ain’t it because this is a real yoga studio. A particular review on here comes from someone who doesn’t understand what nonprofits are, how they work, or the expenses of actually learning and training in a rigorous methods. I hope that reviewer finds a place that suits her."

"Was looking for affordable yoga prices. It says NONPROFIT however it is an astounding $185 for only 16 classes! I had an amazing yoga studio that I joined for only $79 per month for unlimited yoga classes. This place is a sham. They somehow managed to make it a nonprofit by having just a couple free classes for a limited number of people to attend, while charging exorbitant price for only 16 classes. Seems like tax evasion at its finest. Most yoga places are about health and making it affordable. There are cheaper places that are just as good if not better!"

"Visiting from the main land, we are typically very active and put a lot of stress on our bodies while we explore the island and have adventures. We attended a Saturday practice that focused on restorative poses. It was exactly what we needed. The instructor was very patient and helpful. She was very friendly and attentive, making sure each person was doing every pose properly. It is great to travel and expand ones practice!"
