Best yoga class ever! If you’re staying at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki or nearby – just go! Sign up was a breeze @ waikikiyoga.com. I’ve practiced different kinds of yoga for over 30 years and was happily surprised at how awesome this class was. It was like a blend of various yoga styles and floor Pilates. We started on the big stability balls using straps to help balance. Can you say, “Fun!”? It is!! :D I’ve used stability balls a lot and straps a bit, but never together. The combination gives great control and the ability to get into deeper stretches. I liked having the straps in my hands while sitting on the ball because I felt like I could try things I normally would not try. Again, Super fun! Great core workout and stretching with support from balls and straps. Dennis is a magnificent master instructor. His voice guided me through the movements rather like a musical dance anticipating my ability (or lack of) and instructing me along the way. He is super patient and is a gifted teacher. I almost did not sign up because I have many injuries in various states of healing. Before the class, Dennis went over these with me. He did an amazing job of choosing stretches and strengthening moves to give a great workout without stressing my injuries. I so appreciate his ability to do this. It seemed effortless for him and definitely is a sign of a master yoga instructor. I haven’t had such a great workout without bad pain (think limping while walking afterward at a snail pace) in a long time. Thank you, Dennis! So, if you’re on the fence about taking the class because it seems intimidating – don’t be. Dennis will work with your ability, is gentle, and encouraging. You’ve gotta try yoga in this studio with the fun stability balls, support straps, and mirrors. Excellent yoga environment. The sound of the waterfall (inside the Hyatt atrium) blends with the yoga music giving the . perfect peaceful energy vibe. And, while I did this class, solo, it would be fantastic to do as a family. Dennis‘s ability to adapt to the needs of his students, his clear instruction, his humor (“let yourself hang out” when hanging over the strap) and his enthusiasm will provide your family with a fun and healthy experience. If I am back here with my kids, we will be signing up for a family session! What more can I say, just go! You’ll be glad you did! :D
