Your retreat leaders:

Chae Hirano, Yoga Instructor and retreat leader
 “I've had the privilege of teaching yoga and Pilates for nearly 13 years, with my teaching style constantly evolving.  I take my own life experiences, as well as what I've learned from the many inspired teachers who have taught me, such as, Eileen Hall, Simon Borg-Olivier, Trevor Tanjye, Steve Ross, Philippe Taupin and Alycea Ungaro to create a dynamic and energetic class. I would like to inspire others to discover how yoga can heal anyone holistically, through its asanas and breathing and taking it into their everyday lives, with a teaching method that involves using empathy and humility.”
Chae is a certified Pilates instructor with Romana's Pilates aka the New York Method of Pilates with 600 certification hours.  She has attended various yoga workshops through the years including 'Anatomy of Hatha Yoga' at Synergy Yoga and certified as a personal trainer by FIA (Fitness Institute of Australia).

Diane Rakocy, Art Instructor and retreat leader
 “I believe that we all live more fully when we’re feeding our Creative Spirit and following our creative dreams; whether that means simply living more creatively or making a living as an artist. There are so many awesome ways that we can express ourselves with art. I love working with women and using art as a tool for increased Self-Awareness”.
