This is a RARE opportunity to study with these incredible teachers who are known for their ability to teach intentional yoga customized for every-body, no matter what. They take a therapeutic approach to their style of teaching but also know how to really turn up the heat and kick your ASS-ASANA. In addition to our highly qualified local surf instructors, Molly, a longtime Hawaii resident, is also an avid surfer and water woman. She’s equally at-home on her mat and in the ocean and will be more than happy to surf with the most experienced surfers in the bunch.
