Big Island, Hawaii Yoga Retreat

What To Expect

Join MVP at the all-new MVP Hawaii House. Participants will practice, rest, and be in between exploring the beautiful Hawaiian landscape just outside their front door.

Located on the Big Island, Hawaii, in a remote jungle setting, participants can expect to practice yoga, meditation, and self-reflection as a group daily. Together we’ll explore workshops focused on daily kriya, pranayama, and self-care rituals designed to help promote self-worship and continuous self-love.

In addition to being immersed in daily practice, participants will have the opportunity to explore places of interest, including accessible scenic hikes, sacred temples, sandy beaches, and local markets. The group will participate in a beach clean up while on retreat as an act of Seva devotional service.

Three meals will be provided daily, except when the group is out exploring. On those days, participants will be provided with a packed lunch, or they will have the opportunity to purchase meals on the economy.

Transportation

The MVP Hawaii House is in a small artisan community just minutes from the beach. Airfare is not included in the retreat cost, and attendees are responsible for their own airfare, scheduling, and baggage.

The closest airport to our accommodations is Kona International Airport. Participants will be picked up from the airport on the first day of the retreat and returned to the airport on the last day of the retreat. If you plan on staying later or arriving earlier, please secure transportation and prepare your own accommodations before or after the retreat start and end date.
