Why Big Island Yoga Center?
At the Big Island Yoga Center we offer Iyengar Yoga, a traditional alignment based practice, geared to the individual needs and capabilities of each student so that the physical, mental and spiritual benefits associated with the practice of the eight limbs of yoga become a tool to living a more fulfilling life.
I am new at BIYC and I can say that I did feel very welcome. The studio is clean and bright, they have so many props and ways to help people with physical difficulties when needed. So if you think your bad back or bad knees will be a problem, don’t worry. Join!
The teachers at BIYC have a genuine interest in your individual needs. Throughout pregnancy and post surgery I have been able to practice due to the knowledge and attention from the teachers. The studio is beautiful! The setting makes practice even more enjoyable.
Practicing yoga at BIYC has enhanced my life physically, mentally and spiritually. The teachers explain and demonstrate poses very clearly and are respectful of any physical limitations. I leave classes feeling renewed and grateful
Aloha! I joined BIYC in 2019 with no yoga experience. Since then, I have had the privilege of experiencing different instructors – all have been supportive, attentive and professional. My time in class has become an integral part of my overall well being.
I am new to Hawaii and I reached out to the closest yoga studio to me. I am super grateful that it was BIYC. This has been such an easy transition into a yoga practice. I was looking to get into a studio that focused on helping me with learning the correct positions for my body. My experience has been fantastic with my instructor, Amanda. She is very informative, very kind and most of all she has patience for each student in her class. Although I have only been going for 2 months I have already signed up for the next session. If you are looking for a supportive studio… look no further.
I have been attending classes at BIYC for 3+ years. I love the Iyengar method, which focuses on proper alignment and modification of poses as needed for each student. The teachers are all well trained in the method, and my yoga practice has deepened more in the last 3 years than in the prior 12. I have worked closely with Amanda, who has both deep knowledge of the method and great skill in working with students to help them realize their potential. However, I have attended classes with all of the current teachers and have benefited from each one’s unique style of instruction. I highly recommend BIYC to anyone wanting to practice yoga safely in a nurturing environment.
