Yoga with a twist in Hawaii

Many visitors to Hawaii disembark from their trans-Pacific journey with three things in mind: rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. And, more than ever, travelers are finding the three R's through yoga.

Between 2012 and 2016 the number of U.S. residents practicing yoga grew 50%, to more than 36 million, according to a survey from Yoga Alliance and Yoga Journal. The study also found a third of Americans had tried yoga at least once. 

In the United States, yoga studios are still dominated by women, who make up 70% of practitioners, but the amount of men learning sun salutations has more than doubled from 2012 to 2016, to 10 million. Additionally, yoga has caught on with older generations, with 14 million U.S. residents over the age of 50 practicing as of 2016, triple the number from 2012. 

Yoga studios can be found around all of Hawaii's four major tourist islands, and many hotels offer in-house classes. There are a handful of well-known retreats that attract visitors from around the world for their yoga programming, and also a few unique and creative offerings. 

Yoga on vacation is more enticing outside of a stuffy studio, and there are several offerings in the Aloha State to make a visitor's session a memorable one.
