About this trip

Join Koren and her students for eight days of rejuvenating and transformational yoga, meditation, pranayama, sutra studies as well as many other outdoor and cultural activities on the Big Island of Hawaii.


We will stay at Hawaii Island Retreat’s eco-boutique hotel & wellness spa, a place of intentional peacefulness set among towering evergreens and ocean breezes along the Northern Koha’la coast. Enjoy elegant accommodations, and dine on delicious locally grown organic vegetarian food.


Relax by the edgeless pool overlooking the ocean, treat yourself to a traditional Hawaiian Lomilomi massage and stroll through the forest along the cliffs and wander down to the ocean. Watch this lovely Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrlxGpPMikc&feature=youtu.be

I've been to several of Koren's workshops and classes. I was truly impressed with her ability to teach to such a wide range of students - from beginners to seasoned practitioners. Her teaching is engaging and spirited, and her ability to create an almost instant sense of community and centeredness with her students is a gift.
