Workshops
Hosting a Maui retreat? Book me for a value-added workshop!
In addition to my one-on-one work, I love sharing Ayurveda and its timeless wisdom in retreat and group settings. These gatherings offer a beautiful opportunity to step away from everyday life, reconnect with ourselves, and experience practices that support greater balance, vitality, and ease.
My workshops are experiential, accessible, and designed to give participants something meaningful they can carry into their daily lives. Depending on the intention of the retreat, offerings may include an introduction to Ayurveda and understanding your unique constitution, Ayurvedic daily rhythms and self-care, seasonal nourishment, Yoga Nidra, Qigong, and breathwork.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of developing lasting relationships with retreat leaders who invite me back to share with their groups year after year. Each offering can be thoughtfully tailored to complement the theme, setting, and needs of your retreat.
I’d be delighted to contribute to your next gathering on Maui.
Some successful topics to choose from:
Intro to ayurveda
The Science of Self-Healing
(2-hour workshop)
Ayurveda is India’s traditional healing system and comes out of the ancient Vedic texts. Ayurveda gives us tools, really a manual, for how to live in this mindbody organism healthfully. In this workshop, we will go over the foundational principles of Ayurveda including the 5-element theory, how the elements make up and influence the individual and which tendencies each constitution has. Learn how to stay balanced and how to prevent disease.
Self-care Rituals
Daily Routine or Dinacharya
(3-hour workshop)
Ayurveda recommends a set of daily morning rituals to cleans and clear the body-mind organism to prepare us for the day ahead, and when practiced regularly creates a container for vibrant health. This routine of self-care rituals includes proper sleep cycles, elimination, cleansing the sensory organs, self-massage, breath practice and yoga asana. In this class we’ll go over the various components and talk about how to modify them according to your unique constitution to restore or optimize health.
Guided Meditation
Yoga Nidra
(1.5-hour workshop)
A deeply restorative 90-minute experience exploring the ancient practice of Yoga Nidra, or yogic sleep. Participants are introduced to the foundations and benefits of the practice and learn how Yoga Nidra can support deep rest, nervous system regulation, greater self-awareness, and connection to inner wisdom.
We’ll explore ways to integrate Yoga Nidra into personal practice and, for teachers, how its principles can enrich the way they support their students. The session culminates in a guided Yoga Nidra experience, offering participants the opportunity to rest deeply and experience the practice for themselves.
Ayurvedic Nutrition
The Sacred Act of Eating and Which Foods to Eat for Your Bodytype?
(2-hour workshop)
Ayurveda offers a deeply individualized approach to nourishment, recognizing that what supports one person may not be right for another. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore their unique constitution and learn how food can be used to support greater balance, vitality, and wellbeing.
We’ll explore the Six Tastes, food energetics, seasonal eating, and the role of herbs, spices, and teas in supporting our individual needs. We’ll also look beyond what we eat to consider how our daily rhythms, environment, and habits around food influence digestion and overall health.
Participants are encouraged to bring their questions and curiosity.
