testimonials
“I had the pleasure of working with Koko Shie as part of Yoga University’s 200-Hr Yoga Teacher Training on Maui in the Spring of 2015. I observed Koko to be an overall engaged, studious, and adept student of yoga who proved on several occasions to be an excellent teacher. Most notable was the very masterful Yin Yoga session that Koko led us all in one morning at Maui’s Sacred Earth Temple in which she soothingly weaved profound threads of yogic wisdom in with precise asana cues. I recognized at that moment that Koko is a great yoga teacher who will touch many, bringing peace of mind and body through her peaceful and loving presence. We have since kept in touch and I see that Koko has continued to practice and educate herself about yoga — a must for any yoga teacher.

“Koko is a bundle of joy and a wonderful yoga instructor! Her bubbly nature shines through during her classes. She has a strong commitment to the practice and is always enthusiastic to share her knowledge with others. I have attended many of Koko’s classes and have thoroughly enjoyed every one, feeling calm and rejuvenated afterwards. She offers an unique experience by combining yoga with songs, mantras and meditation. I am very grateful to have discovered Koko’s classes and highly recommend them to you.“

“Koko is an amazing yoga and meditation instructor who always goes that extra mile to make everyone feel more welcome, connected, and LOVED! She was radiant, full of love and an absolute blessing to have in our yoga retreat at Bunya Mountain. Koko is truly passionate about what she does, and holds true and admirable values. She is also very accommodating to beginners, and fosters a sense of belonging and connection between all yogis. I can’t recommend Koko enough!”
— Sophie Blatcher, Director of University Of Queensland, Yoga & Meditation Club
”Koko is a teacher that truly lives the practice — her gentle presence, deep introspection and genuine kindness radiates out in every class. Her soft, sweet voice paired with her signature cheery smile makes Koko the perfect guide for deep release. It is impossible to take a class with Koko without leaving lighter, brighter and happier!”
— Sufey Chen, Executive Director of Yoga University
“I am very pleased with the one on one session I had with Koko. The 2hr Yoga + Sound Healing package session was excellent as I found the combination of teachings has helped me relax especially with the Tibetan sound bath. Beautiful treat. I give my full recommendation, 5 stars!”

“I recently completed the Silent Day Retreat with Koko and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. What a difference a day makes under the guidance of Koko! I walked away feeling relaxed, cleaned and rejuvenated, both mentally, physically and spiritually. It felt like I had been away for a week. Some great rituals to introduce into my daily life.”
— Simona Kubes, a full-time mother
“I have attended many one on one yoga sessions with Koko. She has made me feel more confident and stronger. It is nice to do yoga without other students as it gives you a space where you can get things wrong without feeling embrassed. Also Koko can carefully watch your poses and help make sure you are balanced correctly. After each session we also make time to mediate which is an excellent inclusion. I could not recommend it more! It’s the best thing I have done for my wellbeing.”
— Ed Guglielmino, an entrepreneur & musician
“Koko is such a wonderful soul who smiles with her heart which is full of love. She gave a session on Kundalini Yoga, and it was an amazing and beautiful experience for me. Her energy was so flawless that I just flew with that energy throughout the practice. I was so deep and intense into myself that by the end of the practice, I was experiencing a free flow of divine light and energy within my whole body. My whole being was transformed into my heart with so much love and gratitude.“
