Classic Yoga of India
Movement, Breath, Awareness Retreat
November 4-10, 2007
Hana, Maui, HI

Remove yourself from familiar surroundings, busy schedules, and daily responsibilities for a special and highly experiential workshop in the lush tropical coastal village of Hana, Maui.

Break Habits, Find Solitude

This retreat allows participants to break through the accumulated habits of distraction that perpetuate our lives, while affording the space and solitude for the development of an appropriate daily classic practice. The workshop will be an immersion into classic yoga fundamentals including classic postures, asana adaptation, chanting, meditation, mantra japa to focus the mind, pranayama, intensive yoga study, and mentoring your own practice and individual needs.

Two Daily Classes

Enjoy attending two classes each day. Each class provides valuable information, experiential learning, and in-depth discussions. You will learn how to achieve a more peaceful mind through a consistent and dedicated classic yoga practice.

Private Yoga Consultation

Participants will also receive a private one-hour consultation with Monique Parker and an individualized custom practice that they can take home and do on their own.

Your Stay In Hana

Our hostess for the week-long retreat is Josie Diego, who graciously offers her traditional Hawaiian-style rentals on five private acres with lush fruit trees. Accommodations range from double to single occupancy with private bath. Complimentary breakfast of fresh fruit, granola, and assorted teas will be provided daily.

There will be time each day to break away and enjoy the serenity of all Hana has to offer: Hana Bay, the secret red sand beach, Wai'anapanapa State Park, Seven Sacred Pools, and Homoa Beach, which are all but a short drive from the retreat location.

Traditional Hawaiian massage therapies will be available for an extra charge from healers at Luana Spa. This one-of-a-kind experience takes place in a traditional Hawaiian hale overlooking Hana Bay.

Hana Town

Tourists from all over the world retreat to the picturesque and secluded village of Hana for rest & rejuvenation. Unspoiled, serene and mystical, Hana is truly the last undeveloped tropical paradise on Maui. Spectacular waterfalls, the rugged Hana shoreline, and some of the best beaches on the island (including black, white & red sand), only begin to describe the journey that awaits you.

Hana is located 52 miles east of the Kahului Airport, a beautiful 2-3 hour drive depending on how often you stop for views along the legendary and breathtaking Hana Highway.

Monique in Maui, November 2006

“I have been returning to Hana, Maui, and in particular to Josie’s Hana Hideaways every year since 1994. It has become a special retreat location, medicine for the body, mind, and spirit. It is a gift for me to be able to share this special place, where together we can deepen and refine the personal yoga practice.”
— Monique Parker
