COVID Precautions We’re Taking

Limited Spots
There are only 9 spots available for our Kauai retreat to create an intimate setting and safe social distancing. 

Private Residence
Our retreat center is private, meaning aside from our onsite cook there will be no other guests and/or staff on the property.

Cleanliness
The retreat center has doubled down on their cleaning crew prior to our arrival and will have additional supplies on the property (hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes etc.) for us to use as we see fit. 

Mandatory Covid test 72 hours before travel
The island of Kauai, Hawai’i requires that all out-of-state travelers pass a Covid test 72 hours prior to travel in order to be released from mandatory 14-day quarantine upon arrival meaning that you must arrange to take a Covid test 72 hours before your flight. Upon receiving a negative test you will be granted admittance to our retreat center, if not you must quarantine for 14-days in a hotel on island per the request of the Kauai government.

Refund Policy Extended

About Your guest instructor

Elisia Young discovered yoga while in the midst of recovering from alcohol abuse. Plagued by shaky hands, unpredictable flashbacks and a diminished sense of self-esteem, she was awed by pictures of serene yogis on Instagram and found herself mimicking their postures.

She completed a 200-HR Vinyasa teacher training at Sattva Yoga with Ali Valdez, and has been immersed in teaching ever since. She is endlessly inspired by the natural flow of the universe, as well as Buddhist teachings and the words of Yogananda in Autobiography of a Yogi.

Elisia strives to seamlessly integrate aspects of spirituality and play into creative, life-shifting classes. Students can expect to have their egos shattered and their spirits liberated as asana is utilized as a portal for transformation and surrender. Her classes can be found online exclusively at YogaGreenbook.com. She also uses her Instagram to inspire others through asana, and she has been featured online by Harper's Bazaar, Elle Magazine, MindBodyGreen, and The Huffington Post.
