Maui 2015
Maui is my happy place. Its natural beauty astounds me and awakens my spirit to all of the magic of island life.
Hearing the news of the fires on August 8th made my heart sink as I felt the heaviness of destruction and the sorrow of loss. The west coast of Maui would forever be changed as Old Lahaina would now become New Lahaina.
Thank goodness for the survival of the historical Banyan tree that today has sprouted new leaves of hope for the people of Maui to remember that Mother Earth is resilient and strong.
Some of my best healing has happened in Maui. I first visited in the summer of 2011 and went back to live in Kihei during the summer of 2013 so that I could try to put together the pieces of my broken heart after years of stuffing unresolved grief.
Below is a link to a blog post written in December of 2015 with a photo of me in one of my all time favorite places in Maui called Kam 3. While living in Kihei, I visited Kam 3 everyday to swim in the ocean and watch the sunset.

Because of my love for this land, I would like to offer a yoga class as a benefit to helping Maui to recover from the fires of this summer. Please come join me at Wild Hearts Wellness for a yoga class that I hope to become a weekly practice called Heartbeat Yoga.
Maui is a special place that is very close to my heart. Let’s come together in community to connect breath and body in honor of this figure 8 island that many of us love because we love how we feel when we are there.
