Aloha, and welcome to Blue Island Yoga & HIIT!

My name is Nikki, and I've been teaching Bikram Yoga since 2007. I completed my certification in the spring of 2007 at the Ilikai Hotel in Waikīkī, and I've been fortunate to teach throughout my career in Chicago, Denver, Boulder, Mexico, and my favorite place of all—Hawaiʻi.

Over the years, I've also had the opportunity to teach HIIT classes online, including classes for Esak Garcia's community. Those experiences inspired me to create something I've dreamed about for a long time: an online studio that brings people together from wherever they are.

This is a big comeback for me, and I'm incredibly excited to build a welcoming community centered around movement, health, encouragement, and a little bit of aloha. My goal is to create a place where we work hard, have fun, support one another, and leave every class feeling stronger than when we started.

Our foundation will be simple:

  • Monday, Wednesday, Friday: Bikram-inspired Yoga

  • Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: HIIT

  • Live every morning at 6:00 AM HST

As our community grows, I'll also offer specialty classes, including intermediate and advanced yoga, Yin Yoga, Bikram-Vinyasa fusion classes, and relaxing Yoga Nidra sessions.

Whether you're brand new to fitness or returning after some time away, you're welcome here. My goal is to help you build a healthy, sustainable routine that leaves you feeling energized, confident, and excited to come back the next day.

When I'm not teaching, you'll usually find me enjoying the beaches of Maui, spending time outdoors, or continuing my own education. I'm always learning, and I love sharing that passion with others.

Thank you for being here. I truly appreciate your support, and I can't wait to welcome you to class.

With aloha,

Nikki
Founder, Blue Island Yoga & HIIT
