With Heather Salmon, Donny Regal and Special Guest Chef Kyra Bramble
Begin 2018 with a transformative raw food, yoga, Aerial Yoga Play, and sound healing retreat in the lush tropical north shore of Maui in Hawaii, surrounded by wild exotic fruit trees and flowing waterfalls. You will leave this retreat spiritually inspired, physically detoxed, and mentally empowered to take your new understanding of holistic health and apply it to your daily life.
You will empower yourself to live at your highest potential while vacationing in paradise. This retreat will cleanse your body with fresh organic live food bursting with nutrients and flavor as well as learn how to make your own gourmet raw food at home. Your day will begin with the chirping of tropical birds as you awaken in a lush nature sanctuary. You will enjoy a raw breakfast followed by a two hour Hatha yoga, Aerial Yoga Play, and sound healing session.
Next is another raw gourmet meal followed by free time to explore the local jungles and waterfalls, come back for a raw food cooking class, and then enjoy your creations for dinner. This special retreat offers daily raw food classes, three gourmet raw food meals, aerial yoga play classes, and sound healing sessions.
Experience the healing power of yoga and sound. You will begin your day with an amazing two hours program. Your class will begin on the mat with a 45-minute Hatha / Kundalini yoga warm up to the ground, connect with the breath, and open the spine. You will then move into the new technology of the Aerial Yoga Play swings where students from ages 10 to 87 have experienced incredible empowerment and inspiration.
The session completes with a 30 to 45-minute journey into the world of sacred sound and the healing 432 Hertz frequencies of the crystal singing bowls and live music and soundscapes. During the sound meditations, you will embark on specific journeys that may include chakras, organs, energy bodies, astral travel, or other transformational journeys.
Daily raw food classes will offer an overview of raw food as a healthy choice and a gourmet culinary celebration. The classes will be hands-on and utilize common health food store pantry items as well as foraged fruit and vegetables from Maui.
Topics to be covered will include raw food basics, fermentation, kombucha, nut cheese, raw chocolate, cheesecakes, good fats, types of sweeteners, the uses and nutritional values, superfoods, enzymes, equipment, and how to make nutritious food that is delicious of course.
