We'll surf twice on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with surf coaches on the iconic Hanalei Bay on friendly waves that are wonderful and accessible for all levels, and soak up all of the Garden Island's beauty around us. The bay is protected from the outer ocean, sand bottom, and is one of the best places in the world to learn how to surf, or refine your technique and ability. All levels of waves are found along the bay.We'll get out and about to explore the island's lesser-known gems, hit the best beaches, and share our favorite spaces and places with an incredible group of fellow nature lovers, surfers, yogis, travelers, and adventurers.

Meet us in the land of rainbows, where the ocean and soft sand beaches meet the towering green mountains and waterfalls. Together, we will create space for a wonderful Long Island week on retreat as we create space to follow the tides and the island's natural rhythms. NOTE:Optional Adventure! There will also be the option to add and join an optional a la carte coastal boating adventure along the Napali Coast or out to a different side of the island.It's an epic and incredibly beautiful morning and afternoon on the water, and we get in for a snorkel and swim if conditions and weather allow.We head out with either Captain Andy's or Go Blue Adventures and this is always an epic and stunning day and a favorite moment of the retreat.This additional adventure is $325 + processing fees/tip per person for the day on the boat. A note from Mary: We know you'll love the emerald island of Kaua'i, Hawaii as much as we do and cannot wait to share time and space with you on the mat, on the waves, on the beach, and beyond. Kaua'i is truly something special, and I cannot wait for you to see and experience the beauty and wonders of our home island for yourself when the time is right. My husband and his family have lived here in Hawaii for generations and I moved here in 2018 from Boulder, Colorado to join my husband and his family here. Over the last 8 years, I've had the privilege to explore, connect, learn, and immerse in the islands' community and culture and I can't wait to share a beautiful and meaningful week together. Join me and take time for yourself to slow down in your yoga practice, spend ample time in nature, hike, relax, and return home one day at a time.
