Yoga Awareness Wellness Retreats are for health conscious people to achieve and maintain ‘wellness’, using the methods of Yoga and Ayurveda.

The weekend retreats to Halepohakua distance you and will freshen your perspective on daily life. We invite 10 like-minded students to join us to this relaxing, quiet and spiritual environment.

Here in Halepohaku you can enjoy the benefits of practicing Yoga (asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana) and experiencing Ayurveda (svadhana - heat treatments and abhyanga - oil baths), while having free time to wander the remote hills above, relax and read, and to delight on the wholesome food which is served three times a day. Staying in this beautiful and natural environment is simply magical and transforming !

The Wellness Retreats are weekend programs scheduled in spring (pitta kala), summer (vata kala) and fall (kapha kala). We study and experience Yoga and Ayurveda at these different times (kala) of the year and how they affect our body and mind.

Like brother and sister Yoga and Ayurveda are inseparable. A regular practice of Yoga gives us a stable mind and a healthy body, and Ayurveda gives us a healthy body and a stable mind.

Throughout the weekend Ted Surman teaches the Yoga classes and both Ted and Sylvia Whelchel do the Ayurveda treatments.

What level ?

The Retreats are suitable for all levels. We apply the appropriate application of Yoga and Ayurveda for each student, within the context of the Retreat. There is a hike up to Halepohaku and we offer 4WD if you find the hike difficult. Please bring minimim luggage, just comfortable and warm clothing, shoes and a comforter / sleeping bag.
