This retreat offers a unique focus of bringing together those with scoliosis to work therapeutically to help realign your spine and reset your nervous system. The yoga practice will include specific instructions for each pose for the various scoliotic curvatures.


You'll learn about basic anatomy and the scoliotic curvature patterns of the spine.


Discover the role yoga can play in creating awareness, relieving pain, and restoring a sense of balance to the body.


Having a few days to practice together will allow for greater continuity to receive the modifications and adjustments learned in the yoga practice for scoliosis. The tranquil setting will allow for deeper relaxation along with nourishing food and space to simply relax, unplug, and walk around in nature.

Alix's study of yoga began as a teenager, when her mom brought her to her first yoga class after discovering she had scoliosis. Alix draws from her own experience of finding balance in her body and mind to compassionately assist others on their own unique path of healing and discovery.

This was a fabulous yoga retreat with Alix. I enjoyed her energy and gentle practice. We know upfront that accommodations were spartan, and that was true! I would definitely join another retreat led by Alix. Hawaii is always my favorite travel venue.

Bonnie, Thank you for feedback. I truly appreciated having you along on the retreat and also having you as a helpful travel guide in Hawai'i on this trip :)

Alix is an amazing instructor & gentle leader. As far as accommodations, KMEC did live not up to my expectations. The food was good and most people friendly but cleanliness of my room fell short in many ways.

Thank you for the feedback, Eilien. It was a joy to have you along on this retreat. Sorry the room wasn’t what you had expected, we will pass that information along to the center.

This retreat was fantastic. The yoga instructor, Alix, is clear, gentle and caring, and it readily shows, not just in class, but throughout the weeklong retreat, at meals and on field trips. Alix helped me feel fine regardless of my yoga abilities, and made it clear that it was normal to adjust for my own needs. The food was great. The facilities were nice (days 2- 7). I highly recommend Alix. The retreat was well organized and included a few optional field trips.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Ron, and I am so happy to hear that you had such a great experience. I enjoyed having you in class, as well as getting to know you throughout the week.

Alix is wonderful. She is calm, considerate, and has the perfect energy to be leading the mindful trips that she does. I am so grateful to her for everything she taught me, and for organizing our trip to be in such a sublime locale. Our hosts at Coastal Mountain Sports Haus were over-the-top wonderful in caring for us. They made incredible meals and gave us a lovely experience in every way. It was a privilege to be on this trip.
