What more beautiful spot for practicing those asanas than on a beach at sunset? Well, in Waikiki it’s possible (and popular!) to take your yoga practice outdoors. The most popular locations for beach yoga are at beach parks near Waikiki, especially Kapiolani Park (near Diamond Head) or Ala Moana Beach Park (on the west side of Waikiki). Additionally, most hotels (especially those with spas) will offer yoga classes along with other fitness programs. If you’re looking for a more structured studio setting, here are a few options.
