​​Some Graduate Testimonials

  • I will absolutely cherish the training I received from Hawaiian Healing Yoga. The decision to do my 200hr certification with Stacey provided me with a very well rounded knowledge base to build on. The way the classes progress built my confidence each week. Stacey has a gift of providing her students with the tools they will need to keep their future students safe while they explore their yoga paths. The studio space is amazing! The environment is welcoming and comfortable. A great place to both focus and relax. The birds are a wonderful addition, hearing them brings real connection to wild, fabulous nature! Mahalo

  • I just completed 200 Hours of Teacher Training with Hawaiian Healing Yoga. My own experience has been life changing. I can say that my experience has been extraordinary, more than I ever dreamed. I feel confident that I can compose yoga sequences that flow gently. I am convinced that I can help make yoga accessible to those who are intimidated by strong yoga or who have obstacles to their mobility or how just want to be able to enjoy the fundamental possess that lead to health of mind and body. I trust in the benefits of yoga for those who choose to commit to the practice. Stacey is perfectly organized. It is obvious she has the scope of yoga in her mind so that she can present a well balanced combination of didactic and experiential classes that build our foundation. Reflection upon the Hawaiian cultural tradition of ALOHA make perfect sense for yoga as we open our hearts in Aloha and breathe the HA breath of life, we are the embodiment of yoga; body, mind, spirit in union. Honoring and respecting the AINA of these islands is one and the same as honoring and respecting our own bodies and those of our students. Honestly, I loved it all, I know there will be many students in the future who will also be filled with gratitude for this training.

  • ​So much thought and care was put into the program that I can't think of a thing that would have made it lovelier. On every level it was more than I expected and in the end it was way more rewarding that I imagined it would be. I feel totally supported and inspired by Stacey. For me it was a life changing experience and it gave me so much confidence. I feel prepared to begin teaching and sharing yoga right away! The training to teach has brought me back to a personal meditation practice and has helped me work through some spiritual barriers. The training helped me shift my focus from a job that had become unfulfilling to a view for following my dreams and sharing more about what is important in my heart and how I can serve others and support myself as well.

  • I am so grateful that my search for a yoga teacher training program led me to Hawaiian Healing Yoga! I chose the ten month weekend training because it fit into my already full life. Stacey's instruction in proper alignment of the asanas and sequencing of classes left me feeling confident that I could safely and intelligently lead a hatha or vinyasa style of class immediately after graduating. She also provided a comprehensive study of yoga beyond just the physical practice. I learned so much about the history of yoga and yoga as a compass to navigate life. Stacey's training includes the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of yoga. She not only teaches yoga, she lives it! She is a warm and caring instructor and human being. Stacey and her husband, Dan, have created a space to carry on a sacred tradition. The yoga deck and surrounding environment are so peaceful and healing.

Lisa L. Waikoloa, HI.


  • ​I feel completely BLESSED to have found Hawaiian Healing Yoga. Yoga is more than asana and Stacey has given me a wonderful foundation of living a lifestyle of yoga as well as provide me with the tools to share with others. With the information provided and the way it is presented this teacher training felt more like a spiritual training for me. I find having a spiritual foundation to be an important for any future instructor. After the training I feel confident in my abilities as a teacher but I also feel motivated to discover more and to help others through the practice of yoga. The smaller group setting gave us the opportunities to practice teach on a regular basis. Although teaches intimidating at first, over time we became family and were able to teach, make mistakes, let things go and give wonderful practices to our fellow trainees. The setup of the training gives me confidence, not only as an instructor, but as a human being. I am so proud that I found family in the islands of Hawaii through Stacey and Dan!

  • I feel like I have benefited from this yoga foundation in so many ways. From a physical aspect I feel stronger and more confident in how my body moves. I feel as though I can let things go easier and I now have more awareness of staying in the present moment. It has inspired me to find more love for myself, and to let that love radiate out to others. It inspires me to want to help others who are interested in starting a yoga practice. I enjoyed every part of the program. I received much more information that I though I was going to get and loved learning it all! Practice teaching from day one was a great way to dive right in. I really enjoyed that each day had a different meditative focus. I don't know that I would change anything about the program. The space is awesome. I loved practicing outside, it made this experience so calming and peaceful.

  • I feel my yoga foundation has increased though the knowledge of pranayama, mantra, yoga philosophy, and asana. I have gained strength through the training, which has improved my back. The benefits I have gained through this 200-hour journey had inspired me to share the benefits of yoga with others. It also has inspired me to want to continue along my own journey. I enjoyed the group! I will miss learning and expanding my yoga practice with you all, but I look forward to what's next. The studio is so peaceful. I looked forward to the training almost everyday, and the space was a big part of that. 

Maka W. Waimea, HI.


  • This 200hour Yoga Training Certification has FOREVER changed my life for the better and I am truly grateful that I chose to be a part of this. I would recommend Hawaiian Healing Yoga to everyone interested in yoga. The foundation is absolutely necessary. Stacey teaches the mechanics & alignment well, and over & over so she knows you understand their importance. She brings awareness to different body types and shares how and why the bodies will move the way they do. I loved learning the 8 limbs of yoga, and so many other areas of the practice that before I didn't know. The food, the environment, instructors...awesome!

From her, you will learn how to cue, sequence, and to build a knowledge base of asanas, with the Sanskrit pronunciation. You will develop your skills with pranayamas, meditations, and chakra energy anatomy. The unlimited benefit gained from deepening your knowledge will broaden you perspective of yoga, from the history, yoga sutras, to the many styles present in the world today.

Who is Yoga Teacher Training For?

  • Of course, all aspiring yoga instructors will be certified to teach and share this beautiful practice with others. If you are looking to touch the lives of others and learn to teach from the heart with authenticity, then this is the program for you. Upon graduating from the program you will receive certification to register as an RYT with Yoga Alliance.
  • This could be the start of an exciting new full time or part time career! Or the beginning of a wonderful personal practice that will help you deepen your understanding of your life.
  • Because Yoga Teacher Training is a comprehensive foundation of the ancient philosophy of Yoga and the modern evolution of Hatha Yoga (the postures) it is beneficial for anyone looking to deepen & clarify his/her experience of body, mind and soul. Even if you are relatively new to yoga and wish to learn more, and discover new ways to enrich your life through the study and practice of yoga, we are happy to offer this wonderful training program. 


​The approach of Hawaiian Healing Yoga is inclusive, despite any level of physical ability that you currently possess. You don't have to be the most flexible, or the super strong to begin the practice of Hatha Yoga. The goal of the training is to meet you where you are and hopefully inspire you to keep practicing and awakening on your journey.180 hours are mandatory to fulfill the curriculum requirements of Yoga Alliance. If you know that you will be missing a day or two, it must be made up. Make up time is not a part of the curriculum.  The only requirements are an open mind and heart, a willingness to learn, and dedication to doing your best throughout the training.


Benefits of the Training
The benefits of Yoga Teacher Training far surpass the goal of becoming a yoga instructor. You will learn:

  • The benefits of yoga for your particular body type and personality.
  • ​How to quiet your mind and discover the inner landscape of your soul.
  • Deepen your self awareness and explore the flow of consciousness in your life.
  • Proper structural alignment of Hatha Yoga postures for greater ease of movement.
  • Physical & Energy anatomy that will give you a greater sense of your body/mind.
  • ​The ancient philosophy of yoga as it pertains to the human condition and experience.
  • Ayurvedic & Hawaiian principles for health and wellbeing.
  • How to stay open & positive in life as we grow and evolve together. 


Yoga is a lifestyle. In our modern stressed out society it is always helpful to have the tools to stay grounded & open to positive change. Yoga is a practice of remembering who we really are. As we journey through this life we have an opportunity to learn from the ancient teachings and create the positive change that we wish to see in the world. All limitations are self-imposed. We can move from a place of stress & fear into one of LOVE & ALOHA.
