5-Day Wellness & Adventure Yoga Escape in Oahu's North Shore

The retreat runs from Thursday to Monday, giving you five days and four nights on Oahu's North Shore. You'll be picked up from Honolulu Airport on the first day, and dropped off on the last, so the whole week flows without worrying about logistics. The location—in a residential neighborhood in Velzyland, one block from the beach—puts you right in the middle of what makes this part of Oahu special: quiet streets, ocean views, and easy access to famous spots like Sunset Beach and Sharks Cove.

Each morning starts with a yoga session on the Sky Deck, a covered outdoor space upstairs with views of the ocean and sunsets. The sessions are led by Vivi and adapt to the group's level—some guests described them as powerful and grounding, with a goddess-like feeling, while others found them a gentle way to start the day. After breakfast, you might paddle the Haleiwa River, hike to a waterfall in Waimea Valley, or take a lei-making workshop with Callie, a horticulturist who teaches the art of Hawaiian flower adornments.

The retreat also includes stand-up paddleboard classes on the ocean and rivers, infrared sauna sessions, ice baths, tarot readings, and nature hikes to sacred sites. One afternoon is left open with options: you can borrow a bike and ride the Seven Miracle Mile path, snorkel at Sharks Cove, or just stay at the beach. The idea is to give you the structure of a retreat with the freedom of a holiday.

What makes this different from a typical resort wellness package is the host. Vivi is deeply rooted in Hawaii—she's been here over a decade, raises her twins here, and leads the retreats herself. She's known for pivoting the schedule if the weather turns, as one guest found when a storm hit, and for making solo travelers feel at home. The property is a shared house rather than a hotel, so the atmosphere is more like staying at a friend's place (a friend with excellent taste in yoga and food).
