A wild, beautiful, restful adventure!

Calling all spiritual adventurers, creators, skeptics, teachers, scientists, lovers and curious souls..

If living from a place of high energy, love, joy and creativity is a priority for you this year, this is the retreat for you!!

This retreat will focus on awakening Shakti! the creative feminine force in yoga, is inherent in each of us. The practices and adventures offered will rejuvenate you to freely express this shakti through active and restorative yoga, deep rest, play! dance classes, body painting, breathwork and energy healing.

We are all inherently creative beings and nurturing this aspect of yourself is so joyful and deeply healing.

There's lots of info there about the gorgeous place we'll be staying, the beach a 5 minute walk away! the delicious yoga practices and food we'll enjoy while we're there. These retreats are always a deep reset for the soul and Kauai in particular has a powerful feminine energy that is deeply nourishing and very powerful. 

About us:

Julianne and Devi are soul sisters steeped in the art and science of yoga, ayurveda and creative expression. Our teamwork elevates each of our offerings and we are excited to be collaborating for a week-long adventure for the first time.

About Julianne:

I feel privileged to introduce you to a brilliant approach to wellbeing. I draw on the contemplative traditions of reiki and meditation, yoga, nutrition, integrative wellness and the modern science and tools of positive psychology to address the entire human experience - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

My public classes are fluid and strong vinyasa classes that fuse intention, humor, breath work, building strength and feeling into a deep sense of being. Sequences are designed mindfully with the seasons and time of day we're practicing to best support integration of this beautiful practice. I so look forward to meeting you and serving you on your journey.

About Devi:

Devi is a Bay Area hip hop dance, yoga, and group fitness instructor with a background in theatre.  She infuses her classes with a sense of play and moments of comedic relief.  Devi has completed over 700 hours of yoga teacher + dance training and prioritizes integrity of alignment, integration of breath, and expression of soul in her classes.  Devi empowers her students to release the idea of "getting it right" in order to unapologetically be themselves and move their bodies.  Aside from all that, she is passionate about guacamole, beat drops, and yerba mate. 

About Kauai:

If you haven’t yet been, Kauai is absolutely majestic. 

From the moment I landed there on my first visit several years ago it felt like my heart and mind were syncing up. Like the sync between phone and computer! The outer beauty - insanely gorgeous mountains, streams, crystal waters.. Connected to a very healing, beautiful inner place. Each time I’ve been here has been a transformative trip in that I just arrive however I am and surrender to the healing nature of the island.. 

The retreat:

 will include daily morning meditation and yoga practices that are themed to the season, the place, and the moment. There will a beautiful balance of energizing practices with restorative. 

This is retreat is perfect for someone:

- who loves yoga and relishes in the opportunity to practice daily in a beautiful place. 

- interested in slowing down and soaking up the relaxed pace of Kauai and our trip 

- looking for a balance of quiet, restful time as well as fun adventures, hikes with new friends and surf/ beach trips. 

 Lead by me, Julianne and supported by 1-2 amazing assistants.

My one ask! If possible, please make time to practice yoga or dance at least once a week leading up to the retreat, as this will just make it more enjoyable for you. 

Accommodations:

The place we're staying is a Balinese style resort. It is a one-of-a-kind place with incredible art, infrastructure, and really good vibes! There is a hot tub on site, and one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Kauai is a 5 minute walk away!

Room rates vary based on privacy. Please know that if you choose to stay in the twin dorm-style room, its very beautiful! And there are lots of nook-style places on the property to hang out, read a book, write, and relax. 

Pricing - As you may know, Hawaii in general is expensive! They are islands in the middle of the pacific ocean! A big part of what makes the vibe so GOOD! 

Aloha!

We will leverage the endorphins, strength, ease and wonder that come from moving the physical body with yoga, dance, hiking, meditate walking in labyrinths, surfing.. and plenty of time in my favorite pose - the beach chiller pose for wellbeing, joy and deep rejuvenation.

I can't wait!
