A Grounding and Balancing Practice

Looking for an uplifting and grounding Hatha yoga class in Puna? This Thursday class is designed to unite body, mind, and spirit. Led by experienced teacher Marika — with over 25 years of personal practice and more than 15 years of professional teaching — the session blends yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (conscious breathing), and mindful awareness. As a result, students cultivate strength, flexibility, and a deep sense of harmony.

The Meaning of Hatha Yoga

In Sanskrit, “Hatha” combines “Ha” (sun) and “Tha” (moon), symbolizing the union of opposites: effort and ease, strength and softness, activity and rest. Therefore, this practice encourages you to find your personal balance both on and off the mat. By integrating both dynamic and calming elements, you leave feeling centered, calm, strong, and connected.

About Your Instructor

Marika brings a compassionate, intuitive presence to every class. In addition to her certification in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Yin-Yang, and Restorative Yoga through Yoga Alliance, she integrates subtle energy work, Hawaiian healing arts, and Reiki into her teaching. As a result, students experience a truly holistic and heart-centered practice.

Class Environment

Each class takes place in the serene Grow Room at Hawaiian Sanctuary, surrounded by lush tropical nature in Hawai‘i Island’s Puna district. Because mats and props are provided, you can arrive stress-free and ready to immerse yourself in your practice.
