Candice Kukui has a passion to teach others yoga because of all of the benefits it has made on her life. She has gone through transformations through her physical health and mental health. Learning different methods to help with relaxation, sleep, mindful eating, overall mindfulness, processing stress, etc.

When she struggled with her fertility going through treatments and having miscarriages, she turned to yoga. Even after the doctors deemed that her eggs were no good, she was able to concieve. Through the practice of yoga, it helped to go through pregnancy to be able to deal with stress and physical changes that arrised making the pregnancy relatively painless and enjoyable. She hopes to help others with the techniques she has learned from yoga to help bring life into this world.

Areas of Focus:

  • Viniyoga: Breath focused movements which go in and out of a pose before holding.
  • Prenatal: Physical and emotional aspects to aid in a healthy pregnancy.
  • Mindful Eating: Learning to slow down and be present when consuming.
  • Parasympathetic Poses: Twist and forward folds. Allowing the body to rest, let go of stress, and digest.
  • Meditation: The mind rests and rejuvinates so that it can better function throughout the day.
  • Affirmations and Intentions: Focusing on a positive idea to aid in a higher positive vibration.

Candice knows that yoga brings unity in the community. It has been helpful to hear others that may be going through similar challenges so that we don't feel alone. That is one of the reasons Candice loves to teach, to have the unity of yoga. The unity of hope, peace, and love.

Kukui Yoga lights a way to hope to all the students that attend.
