I cannot say enough good things about my week with Heather and Donny at their Wellness retreat…read more They welcomed us into their beautiful home and little slice of paradise and treated the group like family. I didn't want to leave! I'm going to break up my review into important pieces to consider: 1. The food. Heather and others spent many many hours preparing healthy, delicious meals that were so nourishing and filling. I could taste the love, effort, and experience in every meal. Many of the ingredients were either grown locally or even right there on the property. 10/10. 2. The workshops. They gave us a little bit of everything- yoga, aerial yoga, meditation, energy healing, life coaching, manifesting, and others. It is a well rounded week of caring for yourself and being cared for. 10/10. 3. Accommodations. I stayed in a small cabin out front of the main house. There was a lotus pond out front (no mosquitos) and it was so cozy. The bed was insanely comfortable. There is a short walk to the main house to get to the restroom but that wasn't an issue in the slightest. Also the shower is outdoors, but honestly it adds to the charm and nature focus of the whole thing. They have a spa and pool on site that are so nice, our group used it quite a bit to bond and relax together between classes. 10/10 4. Vibes. This couple brings a full jug of love and dumps it into this place. I could feel it with every moment. You can tell they love what they do, they love their home, they love life, and they love the folks that come through. Be prepared to accept the many gifts they have to offer and open your heart to it. This little slice of paradise is so full of acceptance and peace. They give you the space you need to heal, the open arms for hugs, and tissues for when you put in the work to really process through the icky stuff we all hold inside. If you need a little extra support like I did, you will get it here. I made forever friends with the other gals who attended, too, and that lasting sisterhood is truly everything! 10/10 I found them here on yelp, booked direct from their website, and will likely book again in the future through their website as well. I am so full of gratitude for these two and look forward to meeting them again in whatever paths we are in when they cross.

Great Ariel yoga retreat! I wasn't expecting it to be so easy. Not that it was totally easy peezy…read morebut it was gradual and she made me do things I didn't think I could do. She's a great instructor and sound healer and her husband is a fabulous musician and teacher too. They really balance each other. The food was delicious also!!

So fun! I was…read morelooking for something different to do for my bday and kept hearing about Goat Yoga. So we gave it a shot! I've never done yoga or been in close proximity with a mass amount of goats before and I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. When you arrive to the property you will need to park on the street and head down on foot. You're greeted by the owners, where you can rent a mat for $5 (if you don't bring your own). There is a little spot for you to put your shoes and belongings and then you head in to the gated yoga center. The views are amazing! Before the yoga starts, one of the owners gives a little pep talk about the property, shares some history with you and has some fun trivia questions. He was really good about going around and getting pictures of everyone throughout the experience too. Right away it's a light environment and it's pretty clear that it is completely okay if you prefer to chill with the goats and not get an intense yoga session in. Our instructor was patient and really took her time with us, with all of the goat distractions going on. The goats are not shy at all. One of them perched on my partners mat the entire time. Others came and went. I looked around at one point and almost every person had a goat or two on or next to them. All of the goats are clean, friendly and super cute. I was a little nervous about them getting on my back, but it was fine! So glad we tried this out! Definitely recommend for a fun day in the country.

This was our second visit to Maui Goat Yoga, we came back 2 years later with more of the family…read more The goats are so adorable, cuddly and playful - one of the goats (Arial) just plopped her head in my lap the whole class just to get some neck scratches. The view is stunning and Wendy and Kai are such kind and generous hosts. Don't expect a rigorous yoga class, the yoga is kind of secondary to the joy of the goats, but they state all that up front. Highly recommend as a unique way to see Up Country!

I have taken many classes and did a private session with Ted. I like the peaceful space and…read morewonderful air that comes through the place. Ted really makes yoga something you want to do for all of the right reasons. He takes his practice seriously and does work in India and Japan, so you really feel like your yoga and self awareness are part of a greater meaning... because they are! Love Yoga Awareness!

Working with Ryan was FANTASTIC!! My friend Jim came to Maui and wanted to paddle surf. Ryan worked…read morewith us and found the perfect location on the westside! He had all the equipment and gave Jim a total safety rundown. After he accessed Jim's level of experience, they went out on the water for about 3 hours! He also had a GoPro with him and shot images and short video for Jim to keep and share with friends in Boston! This was a great experience and I plan to do it next time as I live here! Mucho Mahalo Rayn and MS&S!!!! You guys ROCK!!!
