Experience the magic of Maui, daily yoga, meditation and nature adventures with Tami Hafzalla, ERYT 500, and Jennifer Lynn, ERYT-500. Your retreat includes nature adventures, sacred ceremony, Hawaiian teachings and local farm-fresh meals prepared by culinary experts. Our plantation-style retreat center is walking distance to Makawao town and a 10 minute drive to the beach. Our quiet upcountry retreat center is equipped with large saltwater pool, hot tub, shady trees and flower-filled gardens. Cool rain forest hikes are just 10 minutes from our retreat center, and Haleakala Crater is a 30-minute dirve.

All you need to do is fly into OGG, and travel 15 minutes to the Banyan Tree Resort in Makawao (rent a car or take an Uber). There is plenty of parking at the retreat center. We will greet you and get you settled in. You will find your room prepared with your name plate on the door, and a gift basket on your bed. A table spread with healthy snacks and cool drinks will be waiting for you. Just after sunset on our first day we circle up for our opening ceremony and share our first meal.

Our first day closes with a gentle yoga class to ease your travel-weary body.

Witnessing the breath taking majesty of the hump back whales bursting from the ocean depths is a life-changing experience. These noble creatures are very aware of the humans who come to watch them, and they willingly interact with us and show off for us. In Hawaiian wisdom, the whales are seen the record keepers of our ancestral lineage. Perhaps they play with us to remind us of our true nature as free and joyful creators. Perhaps they might inspire you to heal and uplift your lineage through the choices you make in this life. Certainly they will delight and inspire you! Watch this video to glimpse the magic of a whale watching excursion on Maui.

Each day begins at sunrise with coffee, tea, juice and light breakfast before our morning yoga class. Many students take an early morning swim in the lagoon at Baby Beach in Sprecklesville just 10 minutes drive. At 8:30AM we meet on the mats for an energizing morning yoga practice. After class we gather for a hearty brunch and plan the adventures for the day. You are free to join group adventures or stay on site to swim, soak in the sun, schedule your free massage or settle into a hammock for a good read. We meet back at 5pm for gentle yoga with pranayama (breathing exercises), followed by dinner and evening events.

A balance of group adventures and personal free time make this retreat rich and engaging and yet deeply relaxing. Our group adventures may include organic farm tour with farm-to-table lunch, waterfall hike and swim, rain forest hike with upcountry sunset picnic dinner. Special events may include hula dance performance and Hawaiian Wisdom stories, Celestial Navigation and astronomy talk. Events are always scheduled based on weather conditions and the desires of the group.

In order to create a family-style experience, we accept only 15 students per retreat. We believe the intimacy of the group plays a huge part in the joy of the journey. We also want to assure that each person gets plenty of personal space and personal attention. Apply early to assure your spot.

Lawrence Duran - Master Chef and Yoga Teacher

His love for food and community sparked in his early years while being a part of large family parties, dancing, and family celebration. Lawrence decided to move on from hotels to work for Maui Bees Farm. His love for serving people through food was steered in a different direction while learning about organic farming, soil composition, animal husbandry, and honey farming. With this change in pace a curiosity for yoga and the path of union was born. After completing his Yoga Teacher Certification he has grown more eager to share his energy through nourishing food and joyful healing movement.

After years in the tech industry, a yoga retreat in Maui, Hawaii changed my life forever. It awakened my adventurous spirit and rekindled my love of nature. With focused desire and the help of friends, I moved to Maui and started a business doing what I love: yoga in the beauty of nature. I founded Wisdom Flow Yoga - MAUI in 2006 and have been offering classes, retreats and teacher training programs ever since. I am blessed to live this magical life and look forward to sharing part of it with you.

Wisdom Flow Yoga was founded in 2007 by Jennifer Lynn. With an engineering background, Jennifer appreciated the inner engineering outlined in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. The Wisdom Flow style blends precise physical and mental alignment with free and joyful flow of spirit through the asanas. Structure must align with the divine laws of nature in order to be strong and sustainable, yet too much dogma can pinch off the organic flow of joyful growth. Wisdom Flow Yoga embodies a balance of precise alignments and core-centered movement with a playful dynamic flow that keeps the pathways clean, clear and strong, and the song of the heart coming through. Our classes and trainings offer a set of elegant alignment principles based on the sacred geometry of the human body. We learn to balance these principles in all poses. We learn to ride the flow of breath as the vehicle of awareness to keep us revealing and sharing deeper layers of our true nature. Wisdom Flow Yoga embraces all expressions of love that rise from inclusion, compassion and unity.

"If your goal is to become a yoga teacher who leads with confidence, clarity, and heart, Wisdom Flow Yoga is the training for you. The program has you practicing teaching and voicing from day one to build courage and skill. Jennifer Lynn provides the framework and ongoing support to help you understand the nuances of yoga philosophy, deepen your alignment and get the most out of your personal practice - all of which will help you become an excellent teacher."

- Lisa Avramenko, Nova Scotia CA

Graduate and owner of HappyFit Studio

"Although I had received other forms of yoga training, nothing quite compared to the training at Wisdom Flow. Jennifer’s level of professionalism is outstanding. She has a deep desire to bring out the absolute best in her students and her style of mentoring (both during and after the training) gives you the skill, confidence and passion to take the seat of the teacher. I’m now teaching regularly within my community and loving every moment of the journey."
