Maui, Hawaii | 7 Days • 6 Nights

Come to Maui for seven days dedicated to your health, movement, breathing, strength, mobility, balance, recovery, and overall well-being.

This is a small-group, personalized wellness retreat designed to help you develop a sustainable movement and wellness practice that can continue long after you leave Maui.

The retreat uses the intelligent movement system of Ashtanga Mysore as a therapeutic tool and foundational movement system. Rather than asking you to follow a rigid sequence or perform movements that may not be appropriate for your body, the practice is adapted to you. The goal is not to fit your body into the practice. The practice is adapted to support your body.

Your movement practice develops around your:

• Current abilities

• Previous experience

• Strength and mobility

• Balance and coordination

• Breathing

• Health and wellness goals

• Individual needs

BEGIN WHERE YOU ARE

You do not need to arrive flexible, strong, athletic, or experienced in Ashtanga or yoga. You simply need to be willing to begin where you are. Whether you are an experienced practitioner, active in fitness, returning to movement after a period of inactivity, experiencing changes that come with aging, or simply looking for dedicated time to care for yourself, you are welcome. Your practice may include traditional Ashtanga postures, modified and adaptive variations, functional movement, strength training, mobility work, balance and coordination, breathwork, recovery practices, and relaxation.

Nothing is forced. There is no expectation that everyone will do the same practice. There is no pressure to achieve a perfect posture or keep up with the person beside you. Instead, you will learn how to listen to your body, work within your current abilities, and gradually develop a practice that can grow with you. Your Body. Your Needs. Your Practice.

WHAT MAKES THIS RETREAT DIFFERENT?

This is more than a traditional yoga retreat. It is a personalized movement and wellness experience using Ashtanga Mysore as a framework for developing greater body awareness, strength, mobility, balance, breathing, health, wellness and confidence in movement. The Mysore approach allows individualized instruction within a small-group environment. You learn your own practice rather than simply following a teacher through a predetermined class. Throughout the week, we will observe, adapt, and develop your practice according to what your body needs. Ashtanga Mysore provides the frameworkYour body provides the information. Together, we develop a practice that is: Personalized • Adaptive • Progressive • Sustainable

YOUR PERSONALIZED WELLNESS EXPERIENCE

During your retreat, you will receive individualized guidance in:

ADAPTIVE MOVEMENT

Learn how movement can be modified according to your current abilities, experience, mobility, strength, and needs.

FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH

Develop usable strength to support everyday movement, posture, stability, and confidence.

MOBILITY

Explore movement that supports greater freedom and control through your available range of motion.

BALANCE & COORDINATION

Develop body awareness, stability, coordination, and confidence in movement.

BREATHWORK

Learn breathing practices designed to improve breath awareness, support relaxation, and help connect breath with movement.

RECOVERY

Explore practical strategies for rest, recovery, pacing, and sustainable movement.

HEALTH & WELLNESS COACHING

Discuss your individual goals and identify realistic practices that can support your health and well-being beyond the retreat.

DEVELOP YOUR PERSONAL PRACTICE

One of the primary purposes of the retreat is to help you develop a personalized practice that you can continue at home.

Your practice is not something you have to master in one week.

It is something you learn to understand and develop over time.

Throughout the retreat, you will begin to recognize:

• What movements feel supportive for your body

• Where you need greater strength

• Where you need greater mobility

• How your breathing affects your movement

• How to modify movement when necessary

• How to pace yourself

• How to recover

• How to create a realistic practice at home

You will leave with greater awareness of how you move, how you breathe, and how you can continue caring for your body.

Maui becomes part of the experience not because you have to see everything, but because you have the opportunity to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
