“Having been a formal professional athlete who was used to pushing their body to the limit, the Somatic Movement class has taught me a much more compassionate approach to how I treat my body now that I am a retired athlete. This class has taught me how to let go of deeply in-grained thought processes that helped during my athletic career but now no longer serve me in a healthy way. This class has also been instrumental in helping me develop different ways of connecting with my body on a physical, mental and emotional level that’s directly impacted my level of self compassion and self care in a very positive way.”
The Studio Treehouse is a beautiful, quaint yoga studio with an art gallery aesthetic. You're greeted by a precious Siamese cat upon entering, which adds to the studio's charm. There's space for class both indoors and outside on the lanai. The studio is always clean, well-equipped, and has a peaceful vibe that makes it easy to focus and feel comfortable. Christy is a wonderful instructor—very articulate in her guidance, which helps you move through the class with intention and ease. I always leave feeling grounded and at peace. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a supportive and skilled instructor. Thank you, Christy, for creating such a great space!
Attending the Somatics and Tai Chi class is a peaceful experience that helps release tension in my shoulders, neck and back while strengthening legs and balance. Practicing Tai Chi on the lanai overlooking Diamondhead is wonderful, and I feel energized after class/practice…. the rest of my day feels peaceful.
Saturday mornings are more meaningful now that they start with a Junko flow! Junko seems to really get the aging process and eases us into relaxation with inuitive movement. Male, female, canine, join us for a relaxing and healing yoga class.
Christy’s Yin classes are unlike any Yin class I have taken before. Her method is holistic and spiritual, but also has an educational method to her process which allows us to understand why we are doing certain poses. She provides visual educational material in her classes. Christy is an outstanding teacher!
Junko’s Flow Yoga is great. I was able to move my body comfortably. I participated in a half marathon last Sunday and became dehydrated and experienced leg cramps. It took me a while to recover, but after today's class I'm fully recovered. It was a thoroughly relaxing and energizing class.
Thank you.
Christy was wonderful in leading 4 of us in a somatic yoga class, for a birthday celebration. Everyone loved it! The location is spectacular, Christy provided us a great opportunity to calm our nervous systems… it was a magical evening! Thank you Christy!!
Having been a student of the Alexander Technique for several years, I have been thrilled with the difference it has made to my body and approach to life generally. I feel that getting older is now an exciting opportunity for continual improvement in the way I move and use my body, and the youthful outlook that that knowledge generates.
Today I participated in a yoga class that turned out to be a beautiful experience. First of all, the venue was amazing; secondly, I loved the vibe; and lastly, the instructor Junko is so knowledgeable and experienced in her transmission. My body, mind and heart felt full and peaceful after the class. I highly recommend The Studio Treehouse for anyone looking for a site to practice in Honolulu.
