About this trip

The past couple of years the pandemic has taken us out of our bodies. Isolation, extended time on screens & devices, changes in diet, and the accompanying stress have had a huge impact, effecting our mood, sleep, mental state and overall health & happiness.


On the flip side, recent events have also highlighted the benefits of change & the healing power of nature. 


This week-long retreat, on the profounds & wild shores of the Big Island, Hawaii, will focus on the 5 elements of Nature; Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether for getting you back into your body - for stabilization & activation. Utilizing Yogic postures, specific types of breath work, mantras, meditations and the sacred Hawaiian land you will activate and balance the 5 elements of your own inner nature. 


Example: 

Earth element - alignment & movements for grounding, stability and growth

Water element - adaptability, creativity, fluidity & grace. 

Fire -  purification, digestion, activation, determination, confidence, will

Air - cleansing of & stabilization of the nervous system. Lung expansion. 

Ether - Meditation & breathing practices for developing intuition, expanded awareness, visions & psychic abilities. 


Some of the offered practices include but aren't limited to: Aligned Vinyasa, 5 Senses meditaiton, Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing), Bhramari Breathing (bee breath), meditations for balancing the left & right brain (the rational & intuitive sides), associated mantras, journaling, plus time spent on the vibrant land.

My inclusive approach to yoga and life enables me to relate with and to hold space for students wherever they are in their practice and their lives. At the same time, my belief in the power of the practice and the potential of each practitioner challenges students to see where they are ready to evolve so that they too can access this transformational tradition as a tool to invoke radical consciousness, wild sovereignty, unwavering self-expression and untamable love. My passions for art, music, and travel lace my teachings with the freedom to create one’s own experience on the mat to embolden students to pioneer their own paths in life. As a Bay Area native, I ultimately promote yoga as a medium to build a thriving community that respects the truths of all.

This was a lovely retreat. I felt welcomed into Robin's beautiful life full of abundance and beauty. I learned a lot, ate delicious meals every day, and the jungalow was so cozy and comfortable.

I had a wonderful time at the Grace and Gratitude trip, and I hope to attend next year as well. I loved the classes. I was pleasantly surprised that I left the retreat with sore muscles. It felt great! I also liked that the yoga classes were long and extended, rather than just taking up a few hours or so each day. It truly felt like a yoga immersion, which is exactly what I wanted. The food that was served was delicious- just one of many things I enjoyed about the Ratna Ling Retreat Center. It was very luxurious and peaceful. I did not mind the rain at all, because it was nice to be cozy inside. I was so glad that we got chant during the retreat- I wasn't sure we would, and my expectations were definitely fulfilled. I love chanting, and it was beautiful to hear all our voices together. Finally, the pranic breathing workshop was an incredibly interesting experience that I will remember for a long time. It definitely was unique, and I'm so glad that I participated. Thank you, Robin, for an amazing retreat! Can't wait for next year

This was marvelous retreat. Perhaps the best of the 5 yoga retreats I have attended. Robin sets a very welcoming tone, paces the moving yoga beautifully and enables a highly spiritual, contemplative atmosphere. The members of the group were uniformly lovely.

This was such an amazing experience. The retreat is in a secluded area surrounded by nature and wild life. It's so peaceful and serene. Robin is an amazing yoga instructor and everything she planned went super smoothly. I love going on retreats with Robin because it's not just about the yoga it's a full experience from her amazing energy to her beautiful voice, singing, chanting, relaxing, eating well. I feel so nourished from head to toe and from inside and outside. Words won't do her justice. Next year I hope to take my Mother with me on this retreat. Thank you Robin for all that you do for us. I feel like a brand new person after this retreat.

Robin has been my favorite yoga teacher since meeting her. I joined her yoga immersion program and I am so glad and grateful that I did. I was able to deepen my practice of yoga, on and off the mat. I love Robin's teachings, as she teaches yoga way beyond the postures and practice on the mat or during a session. To be able to carry those teachings into the every day life is a blessing and a way to live that I will never forget. Highly recommended!
