at the Tara Yoga Center on the Big Island of Hawai‘i
Celebrate the divine feminine through yoga, breath, sound and nature. We welcome women in every stage of life to enrich our circle. Together we will share and deepen our practice of yoga in the grace of Hawai‘i and be nourished by the island sights, sounds, smells, and foods. We will celebrate ourselves in nature and celebrate the nature in ourselves. More than a yoga retreat, it is a cultural adventure in one of the most divine places on Earth. Come and share our love for yoga and our love for the Big Island of Hawai‘i.
