The Shanbio: Spa & Yoga Studio

I met one of the instructors at the 0900 yoga class on Camp Foster, and her teaching style absolutely resonated with me. When my schedule changed, I asked her if she taught any other classes and she told me about the studio at The Shanbio. I took my first class there today – a Flow Yoga class – and loved it! There were only two students in the class, including me, and Yukari (the instructor) taught the class in English because neither one of us were native Japanese speakers! Even better, the essentially one-on-one attention allowed for more adjustments and fine turning during the poses, which is something I appreciate as I grow in my yoga practice. The view from the fifth floor is so inspiring…it helps me forget the worries of the day and focus on the class.

I am looking forward to taking more classes here, and would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a challenging class with a friendly, intimate feel and one of the best views of the East China Sea. Namaste!

I went to yoga on Sat. for the first time and liked it so much I came back on Sun. If you are looking for a yoga studio that offers many different styles (versus what is offered at the gym on base) this place is for you. If you buy the multi-pass then the prices are reasonable at Y1000 a session. Views are gorgeous. Park along the sea wall so you don’t get ticketed as along the park is no-parking but you see many cars. I am going to be a regular at this studio.

Shanbio is a great place to go if you’re looking for a couple’s massage, where you both can be in the same room. I recently went with a friend of mine for their “Girl’s Special” for a full body massage and facial and we were able to be in the same room. It was a fun experience but there wasn’t much privacy in the room for us to undress. That wasn’t a big problem but it was unexpected. The spa is beautiful and very relaxed. All the staff seemed to speak very fluent English. Oh, and the body massage was wonderful! It didn’t feel rushed or like it was too short. The facial was very nice and the products Shanbio used seem to really soften up my skin. However, there wasn’t much of a facial massage. I would definitely return for the body massages though!

I purchased a couple’s massage for my husband’s birthday (halfway selfish present I know..lol) and it was fabulous. We especially liked the ambiance of the Shanbio. I have been other places to get massages, and haven’t found a place that had the spa like atmosphere. We found that the Shanbio has hit this out of the ballpark from the moment you walk in. The music is playing, the aroma of oils and the decor all exude the spa aura. The staff are very prompt with the scheduling and are expecting your arrival. They have personal shoes for you when you arrive, and then sit with you and discuss your treatment for the day, making it very personalized, and detailed. The room our massage was in has a breathtaking ocean view, and it bright, inviting, and you feel luxurious in it. After your treatment you are invited back to the lobby for tea while the staffer takes care of your payment and scheduling your next visit. We felt we had the royal treatment from the moment we walked in to the moment we left.

The Shanbio spa is always an enjoyable experience. All the staff make every effort to taylor sessions to fit your individual needs–They are very knowledgable. The view of the ocean is wonderful and the therapists are very friendly. I keep going back.

Great massages and yoga classes!

Yoga at The Shanbio was my first time ever attempting yoga. I must say, Yukari has made my experience enjoyable and look foward to going as often as I can. The small classes is a plus and allows for more personal contact. I promise if you try it once you will be hooked. I purchased the monthly ticket which is 10,000 yen for unlimited yoga sessions. Classes are offered everyday except Wed. this month.

The pedicure with oil massage I had after a yoga session was the most RELAXING and nontraditional pedicure I’d ever had. I was taken to a small room with a view of the ocean and laid on warm bed/massage table. Yukari then massaged my legs with oil. To be honest, I don’t remember much after that because I fell asleep. When I just so happen to wake up, she was gone and pedicure was perfect.

I recently had my first massage at Shanbio spa ~ a gift from my husband for Valentine’s Day. I was impressed by the spa and all that it had to offer. I had a 1 hour aroma massage as well as a 1 hour facial and they were both amazing. I told my masseuse that was one of the best massages I have ever had, truly!! The staff is very professional in answering questions and meeting your personal needs. The setting is spectacular!!! I highly recommend trying!!

i love this place! i think this was the best present i got for valentines day…. they do couples massage…. its so peaceful… the ocean view room really makes u feel amazing, and the service is just impeccable, they make you feel so great…. you get some tea and chocolates after the massage and its just so nice to sit and relax for a little bit instead of just getting dressed and leaving right away after the massage is done at other places… this is a perfect place to get away without ever leaving okinawa…. i made a second appointment before leaving because i want to keep going back, my husband and i are going to escape and relax once a month…. so much more worth it than going out and drinking and feeling like crap the next day…. this replaces bar hopping 🙂 and its well worth it…

I have been going to the Shanbio for over six months and this place is awesome. They turly cater to making sure you have the full experience of spa treatment. I usually don’t submit comments, but for The Shanbio I will. If you don’t go and try it at least once you got problems.

I have been enjoying the services from Shanbio for over a year now. I typically go at least once a month but usually every two weeks as my schedule allows. It is a beautiful facility – but the staff there really make this spa exceptional. Their guest services are top notch and they take great care of their return clients. I frequently take advantage of the monthly specials they run in OkiLiving and enjoy trying the new massage courses they suggest to me. Don’t miss the opportunity for some pampering!

I have been going to the Shanbio for the past six months, and I love it there! I have tried all of the massages and think the are wonderful. There are also many other services, such as the facials, and they recently told me they started a waxing service. All of the ladies are polite, genuinely invested in guaranteeing a positive experience for you, and excellent at giving massages! I have been on their mailing list for months – I get maybe one email a month and it always advertises a great discount or upcoming special. I’ve recommended the Shanbio to several of my friends and I’m so happy to see them so well advertised on Okinawa Hai! You can’t beat a massage on the Seawall, I definitely recommend it.

The Shanbio was possibly the best Spa my wife and I have been to on the island. We will definitely be returning soon.. 🙂

My husband and I first visit to Shanbio was for their Valentine’s Day Special. Upon arriving we were greeted at the door and promptly taken to the “VIP” room for our couples massage. The view was breathtaking and our foot scrub and aromatherapy massage was tailored to our specific needs. We had an lovely experience and will be returning sometime very soon. The Shanbio is a definite visit while on the lovely island of Okinawa.

How much were the yoga classes?
