The Waluaa staff, Vickie and Elena, were absolutely wonderful. With patience, care, kindness and love, they helped me on my way to nourish my heart and renew my focus and aspirations. I am very grateful for the experience and for their gentle guidance throughout each yoga and meditation session. Vickie is meticulous and had all of the sessions planned expertly. She is an amazing yoga instructor. Elena is extremely talented in Thai massage and yoga was so fun. The schedule they planned for me was great, and it did not ever feel overwhelming or too much...it was just right. I loved waking up each day knowing that I didn’t have to plan anything. I just had to show up.

I booked in with Waluaa very last minute as I was looking to disconnect from work and have a healthy, active, and refreshing week in a warm tropical climate. I booked the retreat and it worked out to be exactly what I was hoping for. A refreshing week to disconnect from work and connect with surf, sun, mind and body. I hope to make it back!
