On Kauai, a peaceful sense of place permeates the air. You’re here… On a tropical island in the middle of the Pacific. And there is nowhere else to be.
An inherent spiritual nature of Kauai lends itself to this sense of peace. Here, relaxation and connection are readily attainable. So, while you’re here, allow yourself to surrender and experience connection— connection to your surroundings, to the present moment and to yourself.
The practice of yoga is all about connection. Through breath, movement and awareness, yoga aims to connect our mind, body and spirit in the apex of the very moment at hand. Within this very moment, where everything exists, paradise is truly found.
So, why not find your personal paradise in paradise? The peaceful nature of the island is the perfect pairing for your journey to enlightenment…
Regardless if you’ve practiced yoga or not, there’s something here for everyone. Here are a few of our favorite studios to check out…
