Program
Community is very important to Aloha House. Their local yoga teachers are highly trained and offer a variety of styles and vibe to offer you a range of experience. They feel that this also adds depth and uniqueness to their offering.
Yoga styles include Iyengar, Vinyasa, and Aerial.
Evenings, after dinner, are designed to prepare you for a blissful night’s rest. A Sound Journey one evening will calm you from the inside out. Kambal Meditation on the second night is a luxurious guided meditation on a mattress, underneath a weighted blanket, proved to calm your nervous system and is the equivalent of a few hours deep sleep.
Brian and Louise will be your hosts at Aloha House. Louise is an experienced yoga and Aerial yoga teacher who also teaches Lomi Lomi Hawaiian massage.
There will plenty of “me-time” between classes, where you can choose to have a treatment, rest, walk, or hang out in the reading room or studio.
