In the Hawaiian culture, ohana means family. Members of an ohana could be relatives by blood, non-relations who are accepted by the ohana, as well as members of the ohana who have died. It also includes the amakua, the ancestral guardian spirit of the family. Our guardian spirit happens to be the "Honu" or Turtle.

The ohana is the unit that provides emotional support, love, security, comfort and teachings, respect and faithfulness, wisdom and understanding, truth, honesty and the aloha spirit. The spiritual guardian(s) provide a sense of well-being for the family to believe.

Today, ohana still means family, including non-family members and friends. In Hawaii, locals still believe in their amakua. We have chosen to extend our meaning of ohana to include any group of people with a common bond that treats and respects each other as Family.

Together, we are Equal. Together, we are One.

We have many "Ohana" including all of our instructors and students at Sacred Space Yoga and around the world. If you are a part of our life, you are ohana. We teach the meaning of ohana to all who come into contact with us. Ohana is "Family" and families that choose to follow the rules of "Ohana " become strong.

We invite you to join our ohana and live the Hi Life.

All love,
Kim

Our Yoga Classes

For over 5,000 years, the ancient tradition of Yoga has been passed on from teacher to student. At Sacred Space, we carry on this tradition by supporting teachers and students from all disciplines of yoga with openness, acceptance, and non-judgment.

Yoga is so many things and means something different for every individual. Yoga can be a tool to improve health and get fit, a ritual of relaxation and stress-relief, a path towards spiritual evolution, or a form of Highest service. We recognize that we all start and continue a yoga practice for different reasons. This is why we are continuously improving our offerings so that we may better serve the needs of a diverse student population, as well as support the talents of our teachers.

You will find classes that accommodate all practitioners-from beginners, to seasoned beginners to long-time students of yoga. Most of our teachers are trained in multiple styles of yoga, which they bring into their classroom. While we are primarily a Vinyasa Flow studio, you will experience many different styles within a class -- Anusara, Kundalini, Iyengar, Ashtanga. Our teachers bring their years of practice and training to each class, making it possible for you to expand your repertoire of knowledge. We take pride in our teachers' diverse backgrounds because we believe this provides a yoga experience that is comprehensive, fresh, inspiring and all-embracing.

Our Vision

Sacred Space was founded on the belief that Yoga helps us live happier, healthier and fuller lives. Yoga is our PASSION and drives everything we create and do. From our humble beginnings as yoga students, our founder, teachers, and staff are committed to making Yoga accessible and inspiring to everyone.

Sacred Space is a community and haven for students and teachers of yoga to practice daily, make connections with others, study in-depth with experienced instructors, enjoy guest teachers from around the world and to ultimately help spread conscious living. We believe that all great change on this planet starts with a commitment to do the inner work ourselves. To be of service to our family, our friends, our community, our planet, our world, we must serve ourselves so we may skillfully harness our own potential and make a difference.

To support this vision, we have consciously crafted our Studio to resonate with the spirit. We specifically built our space to be not only functional and clutter free, but also beautiful and serene. Interior gardens, fountains, ancient statuary and bamboo floors magnify the spirit of peace, calm, and mystery. Just as we are transformed when we enter sacred spaces such as cathedrals, temples, pyramids, nature herself, our studio harmonizes with the inner voice and in doing so, makes it more audible.
