Wanderlust Oahu 2019

The main work of my life is to make sure that Nature remains the source of our deepest spiritual sustenance. As a surfer, I see the ocean as my temple, my playground, my gym and often our supermarket. We are so intimately connected to the ocean—every tear and every drop of sweat comes and goes from the ocean; every second breath we take is produced by the plankton in our Oceans. Yet, the ocean is in incredible trouble.

Like you, it makes me angry. However, yogic wisdom has helped me transmute my anger into energy for constructive change. EcoKarma is a call for ecologists and yogis to manifest the changes they want to see in the world with integrity and love. Come check out what lights a fire in my heart and discover how we, yogis, can be a positive force on this planet together. If you're ready to walk your talk, let's gather for a beach clean up after the talk and finish the day with a fluid vinyasa yoga practice as well as a ritual that honors our connection to the Ocean.

Through yoga, embodiment practices, meditation and philosophy you will develop insights about how nature is our essential spiritual portal. While your asana practice will gain a fresh context, fluidity and blissful vitality, your heart will feel uplifted and connected to something beautiful.

*Please bring an object you found in nature that means something to you for our Blissology Mandala that we will collectively create as a community at the start of this class. Examples could be fallen leaves, flowers, seeds etc.

Join Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii and Chelsey Korus on an adventure to a beautiful deserted beach rarely visited by anything other than endangered monk seals, turtles, and fish. Sadly though, Kahuku Beach is also one of the dirtiest beaches on the island where plastic pollution from thousands of miles away washes ashore after a strenuous journey through the North Pacific Garbage Patch (the Gyre). Join us as we show the Kahuku Coastline aloha by removing as much plastic pollution as we can.

Enjoy a beach rarely visited, and open your eyes to what a collective effort can have on the beautification of our coastlines.

Who are you today? Who were you yesterday? What role do you identify with? In this life, we play many different roles and wear many different masks. This is an invitation to TAKE IT OFF….your mask that is. Let's literally take these 90 min to face ourselves and see our own reflection. This class will offer a safe space for you to be raw, even vulnerable, to be you.

We will begin with a deep meditation & visualization. Together we will move through all areas of the body. We will face blockages, face challenging poses, face simple postures, face what comes up in the mind and in the body. This is your time to FACE yourself and create space to truly know who you are.

What does community mean to you? Have you experienced a space where you feel supported, uplifted, and free to be who you really are? Why do we tend to hide from our true nature, to fit into some "idea" of who society or others think we should be? This is your time to shine and be supported by those around you. In this class we will move through postures singular and as a group. We will experience what it truly means to come together as one.

This class will begin with meditation and progress into an awakening yoga flow combined with group movements, self awareness exercises, and opportunities to let go of false limitations that we have created for ourselves. Let's love, laugh, and support one another as we grow our communi-tree together!

In this workshop we study and practice yoga according to principles of alignment dictated by human anatomy. We see how two pairs of oppositional actions in the lower body and core and two mirroring actions in the upper body make every pose and movement better, in yoga and in every kind of sport and movement; and we learn how to balance these actions out with each other to customize the practice to ourselves and others according to individual differences. Attendees can expect to leave with a simple but profound set of consistently applicable principles of internal action – not only in yoga but in all physical activities – that will keep them (and, for teachers, their students and clients as well) safer, enhancing their success, satisfaction and longevity of practice.
