Register Early! to hold your spot
 We
invite you to drink in some fun this winter! Join us for a new,
dynamic collaboration where Melina’s Seasonal Vinyasa Ayurvedic
insights, Chiara’s core-awakening style of yoga, and Lara’s
Afro-infused Wassa Dance (Afro-infused blend of elemental movement)
come together to nourish your body, lift your spirits, and shake
your bootie to kick off the winter season. Melina, Chiara, and Lara
each bring over 15 years of dedication to their practice, and together
they will help you free up vitality and luminosity.
Seasonal Vinyasa describes Melina
Meza’s artistic style of sequencing asana to match the rhythm
of the seasons. In this winter workshop, Melina will offer new perspectives
on how to live and practice in harmony with the Kapha season, adapting
dietary approaches, cleansing techniques, and lifestyle routines
to be in synch with nature.
 Chiara’s
class will focus on strengthening the core of the body and manifesting
vital, grounding power—that which sustains you. It is only
with a strong sense of stability and security in our physical and
emotional core, that we can then begin to focus on finding more
opening, freedom and joy in our yoga practice, both on and off the
mat.
Inspired by music specially created for her unique dance style,
Lara will help you explore rhythm and spirit to unlock your movement
potential and inspire the dancer in you. In this unique collaboration,
Lara brings her experience as a teacher, dancer, choreographer,
performer, and devotee to Afro-Infused music and culture to Kalani
Oceanside Retreat.
