Project Koa Yoga

PKY is in collaboration with PCW to deliver Hawai`i’s first Yoga Alliance-certified trauma-informed Yoga teacher training (200-hr) which centers Kanaka Maoli culture, decolonization, accessibility, and provides scholarships for BIPOC and QTIA2Smāhū+ Yoga teacher trainees.

PKY is an LLC birthed in 2021 by two friends who believed Yoga + wellness should be accessible to everyone. We center Kanaka Maoli, BIPOC, and QTIA2Smāhū folx because we believe our liberation is bound. Our approach to diversifying Yoga and wellness in Hawai’i is founded in access and equity.

They partner with businesses and direct service providers (501c3) in Hawai’i to offer Yoga and wellness directly to their team, staff, and clients. Classes are structured in a cadence unique to PKY. It’s about access!

PKY holds regular events and classes that center BIPOC and QTIA2Smāhū+ teachers and students. It is about changing the narrative about who yoga is for and taking up space!

PKY believe when there is diversity in teachers, we can change access. We also know there are so many barriers to participating in a teacher training - we are working in a collective to change that access. We are changing yoga and wellness in Hawai’i - together!
