Whether you suffer from headaches, arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis or back pain, yoga classes may be able to help you get these aches under control. In Hawaii, yoga-based self healing techniques can be done nearly anywhere, from the rim of a volcano to the cleansing waters of the Pacific.

The Independent Online reports that one form of Hawaii yoga is increasing in popularity, both in the Aloha state and in the contiguous 48. It's called paddleboard yoga or "yogaboarding," and it crosses the relaxation of meditation with the muscular workout of paddleboarding.

That is not to say that this form of the mind-body regimen is exceptionally hard on the body. In fact, many practitioners find that their favorite part involves sitting and stretching while the Pacific swells rise and fall around them.

Hawaii yoga instructor Eric Hiss noted that the routine just takes a little getting used to.

"Even beginners have little problems with the basics [of yogaboarding]," he told FOX News. "Obviously, you have to do this somewhere very calm."

For those who don't feel like hitting the waves and self healing at the same time, there are dozens of other yoga techniques one can do on dry land.
