Themed Yoga in Waikiki with Props & Guidance

Dennis brings a unique approach to beach yoga that blends traditional poses with tai chi influences, creative prop work (especially straps), and movements designed specifically for the sandy terrain. His classes are small and intimate, often just a handful of participants, which allows for personalized attention and adaptations based on what the group needs that day. The morning sessions on Waikiki Beach get consistent praise for the magical setting—watching sunrise near Diamond Head while your feet sink into warm sand creates a genuinely special atmosphere. Dennis teaches in both English and Japanese, making the experience accessible to international visitors. Just know that Dennis runs on "Hawaiian time," regularly arriving 15-20 minutes late, though he typically extends the class to make up for it. Most regulars find this charming rather than frustrating, but it's worth planning your schedule accordingly. His style focuses heavily on mobility, stretching, and inventive movements rather than traditional vinyasa flow. A couple of newer students found the unconventional approach challenging without enough beginner guidance, so this might be better suited for those with some yoga experience or who appreciate a more experimental class format.
