November 6-13 was my first Yoga Retreat On Kauai!  A.T.O.N.E. Attuning To Our Nature’s Essence was the theme of the week with a very deep rooted intention of Connection.

The week was held on the north shore of Kauai, in an extremely sacred and luxurious home in Hanalei neighboring a bird sanctuary and endless fields of wetland taro.  This space was our home for the week where we awoke to morning meditations, enjoyed 2 hour + morning Anusara yoga practices and evening practices of acrobatic partner yoga, gentle yoga and yoga therapy.  Most of our food was prepared by Micah Sky, and a few items by Lotus.  More than half of our meals were raw and decadent!   Raw lasagna, chocolate bon bons, BLTs wrapped in fresh lettuce and swiss chard leaves, raw soups, cheesecake, and raw pizza to name a few.  As much produce as I could get was grown right here on Kauai and each bite had us savoring with deep appreciation for this aina (land) and our chefs.

Day excursions included waterfall hikes and even a silent hike that connected us to nature with such dept and grace.  There is so much to share about this week.  More to come!
