With so many yoga studios on Oʻahu, there is no reason to pause your practice just because you are on vacation. But may we recommend adding something unique to your yoga routine? Here, you can take advantage of Oʻahu's perpetual warm weather by practicing outdoors. You don't even have to leave the beach.

Yoga Floats at Magic Island in Honolulu is an awesome way to get your practice in while not missing one day of beach time. Getting to hop in the water after a sweaty yoga practice is definitely a bonus. And with Diamond Head as your view? Forget about it. The instructor is knowledgeable, patient and kind. Wait until you try to balance on one foot on a board in water. A humbling, yet very fun, experience.
