An Invitation
Nāda Yoga is the yoga of sound as consciousness itself. Experience the joy of full aliveness as we immerse together into the heart of sound!
Held on the magical, lush North Shore of Maui, this retreat invites you into:
- Juicy Sanskrit mantra nuance
- Mystical devotional Indian rāga singing
- Meditation that arises naturally from sound
- Nervous system coherence through vibration
- Deep listening and deep rest
“This retreat revealed sound as the living thread of everything—the place where all experience arises and returns. It changed how I relate to the Divine entirely.” — Retreat Participant

"This retreat brought me into a vital, full-body experience of sound = love = Self. It was not just something I understood, but something I lived."

This Retreat is for You if:
- You feel sound/music is a touchpoint to the Divine and want to learn how to experience that consistently
- You are a chant lover, yoga teacher, sound healer or devoted meditator and you sense that you’ve just scratched the surface of sound’s potential
- Māui is on your bucket list, and you want a meaningful transformative retreat curated by longtime residents (not touristy)
- You crave a temple retreat vibe in vibrant nature
- You yearn for connection in loving spiritual community with elders and kindred souls (but without culty coercion)
No previous experience required—only sincerity and willingness to learn.
“There was a powerful sense of unity in group chanting, while still allowing my unique expression. Even when voices differed, the connection never broke.” — Retreat Participant
This retreat counts as attendance hours for our 200-300-500 hour Yoga Alliance teacher trainings online.
Why This Retreat Is Different
This is not your typical yoga vacation, fleeting kīrtan spiritual bypass high, or newbie retreat leader experiment.
It is a profound devotional immersion into Nāda Yoga as lived reality, led by 3 teachers with over 100 years of combined experience. Michele, Anandra & Nathaji have known each other for 20 years and collaborated on 3 prior Māui Nāda Yoga Retreats and multiple teacher trainings.
You’ll experience:
- Sanskrit mantra and rāga chanting reverberating with clarity and reverence
- Yogāsana for sound-based practice (supportive for all bodies, all ages)
- Silence as spacious awareness effulgent with loving presence
- A small, intimate group container
“I experienced mantra not as a technique, but as the sound of God expressing itself through every nuance of life.” — Retreat Participant
