We will explore, discover, eat delicious food, and be astounded at the lush landscapes and stunning shores of Kauai.
What Shirley Wu said after her 4 Days of Yoga and Photography Guidance:
Optional Morning Yoga, it’s guaranteed you will recharge and transform by doing kundalini yoga and meditation every morning. Even if you’ve never done a pose before.
This session is not for advanced yogis, it’s for beginners. But if you’ve been doing yoga for a while, I am a certified instructor and can inspire you more deeply with your practice.
Yoga blooms open your heart. You’ll enjoy the day more fully and get that little kid ecstasy feeling.
Yes, you get the benefit of teachings I’ve learned and practiced from saints and meditation masters in Thailand, Nepal, and India.

June 7, 2015Dear Carolyn,
I just got your message this instant. I am so happy you want to come. I am leading personal retreats now so I schedule them when it is convenient for you to come. I have not checked the comments in a while so that is why I did not respond until now. We can do the retreat two different ways. Here are some options.
If you would like me to book your room, for you I can do that.
You also have the option of booking your own room. Here is what it includes:
7 nights in an ocean side room on Kauai.
All private photography, yoga, and meditation guidance
1 massage ocean side
Spectacular sacred power spots every day!
Let me know your phone number and I will call you with the details.
Would like to talk this week as things get booked up in July.
Aloha, Mary
July is a perfectly amazing time to be here!
