Cara is magical. She is incredibly knowledgeable and makes the practice of yoga accessible for all. Every time I have gotten the opportunity to take a class from her, my love of yoga (not just the physical practice) is reawakened. I would encourage everyone to take classes from the beautiful spirit!

Never surfed? No problem.

Seriously. We are teaming up with the Maui Surfer Girls, who offer the best surf lessons on island. They specialize in all surfing levels and have their very own dedicated surf break. You’ll have 3 personalized surf sessions and small class sizes to give you all the waves you can handle!

 

 
 

MĀLAMA 'ĀINA,

respect for the LANd, is also respect for YOUR BODY


 

We are privileged to have the opportunity to experience the true meaning of Aloha with daily lessons in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, the indigenous language of Hawaiʻi. We’ll spend an afternoon immersed with Kipuka Olowalu, a non profit restoring the biocultural landscape of the valley. Help preserve and perpetuate Hawaiian culture by learning about native plant species, la’au lapa’au (medicine), and how to malama (take care of ) aina (land and food systems).

Experience, Express, and Empower yourself with Cara’s signature Free the Pelvis methodology.

 

Embodied Transformation

If you’re ready to take a honest, loving look at the places within you asking for more freedom, care, and attention, this retreat is for you.

The Free the Pelvis methodology is truly transformational and I’m so thrilled to offer this retreat as an immersive introductory course.

We’ll be working intentionally with 3 distinct energy centers to tap into our strength, creative potential, and power for personal expression. Our bodies experiences are the pathway for increasing our capacity to feel. We’ll find emotional freedom through self expression. Finally, we’ll step into true embodiment with collective work around empowerment. The Free the Pelvis offering will cover everything from self-massage, to recovery and we’ll have ample time for 1:1 questions and support.

It’s time to create a deeper conversation with yourself. Join me for this incredible week of deep inner work. You’ll return home with a growing skill set increasing your capacity to live more embodied.

Cara’s classes are a beautiful blend of deep spiritual and anatomical knowledge with play and light hearted-ness. Her enthusiasm for possibility is infectious, creating a safe space for exploration and growth. Definitely recommend getting yourself to a class or retreat with her!
