Journey to Aloha: An Awakening Retreat
Kauai, Hawaii 11/4/23-11/11/23

Adventures that Await
Kauai, considered an energy vortex that has been referred to as the Third Eye Chakra of the planet, is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands, with the majority of the land being untouched by development. It is a power spot for more "mana" (Hawaiian for "life force" - called "prana" in yoga) than any other destination on Earth!
~ Lauren Quella & Sandi Toppins, co-founders of Grace Under Fire Yoga, will be your retreat guides.
What to Expect:
~Daily yoga and meditation classes with breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains at our favorite locations on the island
~ Opportunities to discover a better balance within through activating your chakras (energy centers), integrating Ayurveda (the sister science of yoga), and other outlets of creativity
~ Guided oceanside, jungle, and elevation hikes to take in all the stunning scenery of the island
~Extra special gatherings at our favorite places and sights on the island while enjoying the aloha spirit
~ Excursions from sea to sky including the famed Shipwreck's Beach, Waimea Canyon, Wailua Falls, and so much more!
~ It's hard to believe the Pacific tropical oasis of Kauai is US soil, allowing you to travel to and from the mainland more freely.
*** You will also have plenty of free time to relax, explore, and experience the island ~ all planned retreat activities are optional. ***

Your Home Away From Home

Start your day with a beverage from First Light Coffee + Juice Bar as you watch the sunrise or stroll on the beach, then relax in the afternoon near the poolside bar enjoying Hawaiian style favorites from The Crooked Surf, and ease into the evening with fine dining at Moa Moa Hawaiian Fish House surrounded by tiki torches, glowing lava stone fire tables, and the sounds of the palm trees in the ocean breeze.
