Hawaii Yoga Institute's Continuing Education

“Harmony’s teaching is warm, encouraging, and compassionate. Her years of teaching children and adults inform her cues from a place of accessibility and playfulness. She utilizes invitational language in a way that supports a genuine connection with the mind and body. She truly cares about making you feel welcome and supported while honoring your individual experience.”

- Megan McWilliams, therapist and yoga teacher

“Harmony is a truly remarkable teacher whose passion for wellness and inner peace radiates in every class. She actively embraces the creative and unusual, drawing students into a new world of self-discovery and acceptance. Fostering a sense of playfulness and in her classes, she has an intuitive ability to connect with students well beyond their class presence.”

- Christina Loo, Owner of Breathe Yoga + Barre Kaneohe

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Harmony a few years ago when I was working at a small private school in East Honolulu. She was the Health and Wellness Director, as well as the after school yoga instructor, but quickly became a friend and mentor to me. She inspired me to get my Yoga Ed. certification in 2017, and was one of my trainers. Having the opportunity to grow professionally and meet others who were doing the same was absolutely life changing. I am currently at a different school on the West side and I still using all of my training and experiences from Yoga and Mindfulness to teach my students and the staff. Harmony is truly a ray of light in a world that is sometimes dark. I am so thankful that our paths crossed in this life!”

- Kimberly Chun Hoi, Elementary School Teacher

“As a director fortunate enough to collaborate with Harmony, I've witnessed firsthand her remarkable talents as a choreographer. Harmony brings a unique blend of creativity and collaboration to every project. Her choreography is a mesmerizing fusion movement, story, and emotion. Working with her is an absolute joy—she elevates each production with her artistic vision and dedication.”

- Lurana Donnels O'Malley, Professor of Theatre, Director of Graduate Studies in Theatre at the University of Hawaii at Manoa

“I’ve been so lucky to have been able to work with Harmony for bigger productions and smaller independence projects. What I love most, is that in any scale, she is really able to key in how each individual can best be seen and used in the grander storytelling. I know personally that i not only leave, knowing that the production is enriched with beautiful movement, but empowered and encouraged as an artist which to me, is just (if not more!) valuable than the product itself. She is my go-to movement director at any a scale!”
