Island Om | Kiko Nascimento

Matt Mallams and I worked on an award winning photo story last year for Hana Hou! Magazine about the many traditions of yoga thriving here in Hawaii, profiling six local yogis on the islands. Read the great article by writer David Thompson, and check back here for photos of each yogi and to see the final spread soon.
Kiko Nascimento is a yogi and mixed martial arts fighter on the Big Island, before his MMA bouts he performs body balancing acrobatic partner yoga to entertain his fans.

Kiko balances partners Alexa and Lydia in the Catapult Posture.

Kiko stands on his head, literally.
