Wow! What a great Koha Yoga massage you gave me! I was in such pain and I’m feeling very relieved. You have such a great gift…I need another one soon!

I met Lucky (Whakapaingia’s nickname) after he fixed up a rugby buddy of mine after a game of touch rugby right on the beach in Santa Monica. My friend called me and told me he’d booked a session for me and no questions, just go. I showed up with very little knowledge of Lucky’s practice and gave it a try. In the year that I have been seeing Lucky I’ve referred several friends to both his flying yoga massage practice and his regular yoga classes. Working with Lucky has been an instrumental part of my crusade to get fit. His sense of humor and sincere caring about my wellness has made the trek rigorous, fun and successful.

Just one time with the Koha Yoga team, I felt an immense amount of relief throughout my body. The tightness in my back and neck was gone and I felt that my overall well being was increased.

Whaka gives clear directions verbally and with little physical touches. He guided me into stretchy positions and gradually I melted. When we finished my session I felt revived. I simply felt better.

David Luke or Whaka as he is know to his friends has a natural connection with his fellow man/women. His intuitive touch and understanding of the human body makes him a natural teacher, healer and yoga instructor. Very rarely do you meet people like him, I knew with in moments, that I was in good hands and I strongly recommend Koha Yoga and more importantly Whaka for body beneficial therapy.

I first saw flying yoga about two years ago and then Sara and Whaka came to my party one evening and flew people. It was incredible to watch and while I was skeptical at first about trying it, I was convinced after one flight. Then we hosted a workshop a few days later and I was blown away by how everyone embraced it. It’s a great way to bring a community together and open people’s hearts and minds.

I rarely indulge in a massage, partially because I feel lazy for laying there for and hour or more of guilty spoil, and partially because I cant' stomach spending money on something that seems so temporary. But with Koha, its a different story!!

Whaka truly customizes his massages. For me, he combined flying, thai massage and deep tissues/sweedish massage for massages that feel more like a sweet combination of an easy yoga class, accupressure, alignment and a massage all in one! The result is a relaxing, releasing and therapeutic massage that stays with you for days after the massage.

Words can't describe the experience! Such a gift!
