When we went to Oahu we stayed at @moainaretreat and it has taken me this long to post more about our trip, cause it has been difficult to adjust back into the mainland. 

This place does something special to you and your soul, I'm so happy to have returned to the islands after so many years, but it was healing.

l absolutely adored the place we stayed and it was exactly up my alley, rather than staying at a hotel. But I'm still blowed away at my experience. 

If anyone wants to take a trip to the north shore of Hawaii I would highly recommend looking into @moainaretreat and Vivi other services aside from just a rental, she gives really good deals to guests too! The aloha spirit is definitely alive there, Check it out!

If you are looking for a small retreat that is curated with care and lived with heart and soul, this is for you. It was only a few days but it feels much longer as each day was filled with the right mix of community, adventure, spirituality/ yoga and relaxation. 

I loved the combination of yoga and meditation, which was an excellent opportunity to explore O'ahu and get to know the land and the culture from an up-close and personal point of view.

Vivi is an amazing, warm and caring host and she provided the right balance of adventure and relaxation with her program.

I went on this retreat to relax and renew and I feel like my spirit is rejuvenated and I'm happy and feel very balanced.

For me, this was likely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  I'm a 70-year-old great-grandmother with much of my spine fused (without metal). 

I've been doing yoga off and on through the years,  but this type of yoga that Vivi did was unique to me. I loved it all! The yoga on the beaches and the paddleboarding were so fun to experience here. 

I loved the location as well as the accommodations! The local foods served along with Vivi incorporating Hawaiian lore was truly an added delight. Beautiful people, beautiful place!

I loved experiencing the North Shore with you and having you incorporate Hawaiian lore. The yoga you taught was very different for me, and I loved it! 

The beachside yoga was more challenging than I realized it would be for my body (I'm off-balanced, to begin with such curvature with my spine! But, it was a WONDERFUL experience.

I have learned that I have more grieving to do! But, that aside, this was an opportunity & experience that I needed.  I am so grateful, young lady, that I chose YOUR retreat!

You are such a beautiful soul, inside and out. It was such a pleasure to meet you, Vivi. Thank you for your lessons, your hospitality,  and your compassion. May you always feel the blessings.

Namaste, Tina.
