WHat’s Included

We take a holistic approach to wellbeing through various practices including daily yoga flows, meditations, breath work exercises and reiki. Our program features a variety of styles and techniques to serve every body, regardless of experience level or physique. Each morning practice will be energizing with the sun, as we set the tone for the day, let go of stagnant energy stored on a cellular level, and create space for inner exploration and intuitive channeling. Evening practices will be grounding with the energy of the moon, intentionally designed to prepare our bodies for rest and replenishment.

✺ SELF-CARE RITUALS ✺

✺ creative workshops ✺

We will be leaning into different outlets of creative expression, including empowering journal prompts, conscious discussion, and vision boarding. All workshops are optional but highly encouraged as it will evoke deep reflection, inner clarity, and connection. When we tap into our creativity, we unearth our authentic self and freely express our feelings, ideas, emotions, and values with confidence. These experiences will set you up with the right intuitive tools to navigate your life journey beyond the retreat.

✺ island exploration ✺

We will explore the offerings of Big Island, Hawaii through excursions to the vast valleys, wondrous mountains, breathtaking seas, and awe-inspiring waterfalls. We will adventure to the sacred depth of Pololu Valley, a raw and untamed side of the Big Island with sheer vertical cliffs reaching the sky, waterfalls cascading into the sea, and sunlight kissing the valley trees. This will be an opportunity to commune with nature, share our respects to the land, and lean into inner peace. We will also be explore beaches and other landmarks located in and around Hilo. Specific details will be announced closer to the retreat date.

✺ cultural awareness ✺

It’s our desire to honor the communities and cultures who are responsible for fostering a deep connection with the land. That being said, we will be incorporating the island’s most recognized transitions: hula dancing and lei making. Lei making is a fragrant and blissful practice. Through this experience, we will master the craft of ceremonial garlands made with plumerias and pikake flowers, worn and shared as gifts of affection. During the hula dancing workshop, we’ll learn the authentic expression of Hawaiian culture, history, and stories through joy-giving movement, instruments, and chants. All led by Hoku Lai, a Hawaiian native, born and raised on Big Island.

The last night of this retreat will be a celebration of deep friendship, connection, and radical self-love as we dance around the fire under the moon to the tracks of a live local DJ artist. Life is meant to be enjoyed, so what better way to end the retreat experience than gathering in community and celebration of our love and admiration for ourselves and one another through the power of dancing.

CLIENT LOVE

— Claire Xu

“I HAVE NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT MY EXPERIENCES WITH KATIE! I HAD NEVER DONE HOT YOGA BEFORE AND WAS INTIMIDATED BY IT AT FIRST, BUT KATIE WAS INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE AND TAUGHT THE CLASS IN A VERY COMPREHENSIVE WAY. SHE CULTIVATES A WELCOMING AND LOVING ENVIRONMENT, AND SHE EVEN GAVE ME ADVICE ON HOW I COULD ADJUST SOME OF THE POSES TO ALLEVIATE MY ARTHRITIS PAIN. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE THE TYPE OF PERSON TO ENJOY HOT YOGA, BUT AFTER MY FIRST CLASS WITH KATIE I WAS HOOKED!”

— Andrew Smith

“THE WAY KATIE STRUCTURES HER FLOW IN HER CLASSES IS REALLY EASY TO ENGAGE WITH, UNDERSTAND, AND LEARN. HER CLASSES ARE AS CHALLENGING AS YOU WANT THEM TO BE, BUT YOU CAN DO WHAT’S COMFORTABLE FOR YOU AND FEEL REWARDED EVERY TIME.”
