About Us
Rooted in the spirit of aloha and the profound interconnectedness of all beings, our education and yoga practices bridge the gap between confinement and liberation.
Pono Path Program is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 2025 in Hawaii.
OUR COLLABORATION
Partnering for Change
We work in close coordination with the State of Hawaii Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to deliver impactful educational programs. Through this partnership, we bring mindful movement and yoga curriculum directly into correctional facilities, fostering an environment where growth, rehabilitation, and long-term transformation are not just goals, but shared realities for every participant.
