Enjoy Complimentary Beach Yoga at Waikiki Resort Hotel

Whether you're interested in olakino (the Native Hawaiian word referring to your body's health and vitality) or simply hoʻomaha (relaxation or taking a break), beach yoga on the golden sands of Waikiki Beach beckons you. Imagine the tropical breeze tickling your skin as you get into a downward dog pose while a stunning Hawaiian sunrise creeps up over the horizon. It's all part of the Waikiki Resort Hotel's world-class amenities for all of our guests.

What is Waikiki Beach Yoga?

Beach yoga combines the numerous wellness benefits of yoga with the serene and calming environment of Waikiki itself, where you can feel the mana (energy) of the Hawaiian islands while you take in breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean with the iconic peaks of Diamond Head looming above you.

Waikiki beach yoga involves performing all of your favorite yoga poses, breathing exercises, and meditation on the sandy shores of Oahu. Practicing yoga on the beach can add an extra dimension to the experience, as it allows you to connect with nature, feel the warmth of the sun, listen to the sound of the waves, and breathe in the fresh air.

The uneven, shifting sand can also add an element of challenge and balance to the yoga poses, making it a unique and enjoyable experience for yoga enthusiasts of all skill levels.

How to Prepare for Your First Waikiki Beach Yoga Class

Ensure you're dressed appropriately for the weather conditions on the beach. Bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a light cover-up if it's cooler that morning. You'll also want to:

Bring water to stay hydrated. Exercising in the sun can be dehydrating, so take some sips before, during, and after your practice (there's a water dispenser conveniently located in the Waikiki Resort Hotel's lobby)
Wear comfortable and breathable clothing suitable for yoga and the Hawaiian weather. Consider moisture-wicking fabrics that dry quickly if you'll be sweating
Aim to arrive a bit early to settle down, find a good spot, and perhaps get acquainted with the instructor and other participants
Approach the class with an open mind and be prepared for a unique experience. Yoga on Waikiki Beach might feel a bit different from yoga in a yoga studio due to the sand, the sounds of nature, and the incredible environment around you
Respect the aina (land) and its surroundings. Clean up after yourself, and try not to disturb the natural environment.
