‘Yoga Couple’ eliminated from competition TV show

A husband-and-wife duo from Pahoa who were vying for the title of “Fittest Couple” in a new television competition that aired on the Paramount Network, were eliminated from the show before reaching the finals.

“Battle of the Fittest Couples” premiered in October.

Known as “The Yoga Couple” on Instagram, and “The Yogis” on the show, Ash Cottrell and Mat Micheletti, both 31, were one of a dozen couples who battled their way through grueling, physical and mental challenges for the chance to win $100,000 and earn the prestige of being named “Fittest Couple.”

Cottrell and Micheletti made it to episode eight of 10 in the series.
