What Students Are Saying...

  • "This is my favorite yoga studio anywhere. After 20+ years of yoga, Kristin's class transformed my practice and made me feel stronger and clearer than ever. Her approach to me is a perfect balance of intense physical conditioning guided by philosophical underpinnings. All of the teachers here are wonderful and the studio itself is just beautiful with its natural light. The north shore is so lucky to have this gem!"

  • “Practicing Yoga at Black Coral Yoga has been a wonderful & transformational experience. The combination of extraordinarily high levels of teaching, multiple types of yoga classes & a warm, welcoming & friendly environment makes it the perfect place to practice. I am very stiff, a visitor to the island & new to this practice so to find this gem has been fantastic. If you can make the time to go - for me every trip in Hanalei will include yoga here!"

    Michael - San Francisco, CA

  • "Seated mountain-side in Hanalei is quite possibly one of the most invigorating studios you will ever find. Kristin, the owner, is one of those instructors that just gets it. Her class is dynamic, transformative, and heated to the perfect temperature. As are the rest of her instructors classes. 10/10. Sign up in advance! "

  • "This yoga studio is such a blessing to the north shore community and its reverent visitors. Not only is the space idyllic, bright, clean, spacious, and situated right in the center of Hanalei town, but the breadth of classes offered and, more than anything, the quality of the teachers and their instruction, are the best you will find anywhere, in Hawaii or elsewhere. If you are seeking a beautiful space to “drop in” to yourself and receive meaningful teachings here on Kauai, look no further."

    Jim - Hanalei, HI

  • "Samantha's Yoga and sound healing class was one of the most incredible yoga classes I have ever taken. I ended up going twice during my week stay in Kauai and wish I lived there so I could go every week. Both classes were the perfect balance of slow stretching and movement. At the end the class transitioned into a beautiful sound bath where I could feel my body fully relax and rebalance. Samantha was warm and personable and I would highly recommend this class to anyone in Kauai!"

    Jessie - Los Angeles, CA

  • "Black Coral Hanalei is a very special yoga studio. Every class I experience always takes me to another level. I love the hot vinyasa with Kristin. She is one of the best teachers I have ever worked with in the world and we are so lucky to have her here in Hanalei. The experience is so beautiful from the moment you walk in until the moment you leave. You’ll feel right at home and get your butt kicked in the best way possible. I’m so grateful for this studio!"

    Chelsea - Topanga, CA

  • "Best yoga class I’ve ever been to. I have been doing yoga for about 8 years on and off. Dropping into the HATHA II class shifted my entire perspective and opened my heart and healing path. I am over the “work out” in yoga and so into the “work IN” Jess and Jessie’s knowledge is so profound. It actually has inspired me to do a yoga teacher training. I am obsessed i can’t say enough praise. Even my bf who I dragged to a class and who is stiff as a board said the same things!!! Do it"

    Jacqui - Incline Village, NV

  • "Black Coral is the best Yoga studio on the island of Kauai. It’s clean, spacious, well lit with natural light, and energetically warm and inviting. Highly recommend this studio, and if you get a chance to attend Kristin’s classes, you won’t be disappointed - she’s one of my favorite instructors of all time. You’ll receive a powerful practice filled with deep wisdom to start (or end) your day!"
