About this trip
Breathwork and Sauna Retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii
Immerse yourself in a transformative women's retreat on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii, where the elements of nature—fresh air, ocean breezes, and lush surroundings—create the perfect environment for deep physical, mental, and spiritual cleansing. Our intimate retreat, limited to just 6 participants, combines the practices of breathwork and sauna therapy, both known for their profound benefits.
Breathwork sessions will guide you to access deeper states of consciousness, releasing stress, clearing emotional blockages, and revitalizing your body and mind. This powerful practice enhances mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual connection.
Sauna therapy complements this journey by promoting detoxification, improving circulation, and soothing muscles. The heat enhances your body's ability to shed toxins, relax deeply, and reduce stress. Additionally, sauna therapy can improve skin health, boost immune function, improve mental focus and increase overall energy levels.
NOTE: For those new to sauna therapy, you can start with shorter sessions of 10-15 minutes and gradually work your way up as your body adjusts. This gentle approach ensures you reap the benefits while acclimating comfortably.
With fresh tropical fruits, delicious and healthy meals, pristine natural surroundings, and the nurturing embrace of this magical island, this small, focused retreat offers a sanctuary for you to cleanse, heal, and rejuvenate, leaving you vibrant and centered.

Testimonials
"At first I thought I was in Paradise. Then, I realized I was in Heaven!"
"Best sleep of my life!"
"The oasis that is the Jungalow and Robin's property is what you need! It was so calm, so zen, so soul refreshing. It is very off the grid, we loved having complete disconnect from everything. The stars here are unreal, we spent hours each night watching the stars, and the frogs hop from one pond to another. I would completely recommend this place to all, it is a hidden gem."
"This stay was a once in a life time experience. The open air bungalow allowed us to fall asleep to the sound of the jungle and waves. The bungalow is on a beautiful property filled with palm trees, fruit trees and a family of wild pigs!"
"This was a lovely retreat. I felt welcomed into Robin's beautiful life full of abundance and beauty. I learned a lot, ate delicious meals every day, and the jungalow was so cozy and comfortable."
"So many great things about spending the week here for a retreat. From the fresh fruit and flowers, which were brilliant and everyday, to the natural habitat of many wildlife surrounding the jungalows making it delightful to wake up in the jungle surrounded by the unique ecosystem. Robin's teachings pulled together many benefits of yoga. It has been a wonderful experience!!"
"This was the most pleasurable, peaceful, and wonderful stay. From the amazing architecture of Robin’s majestic yet intimate glass-house to the lush, verdant beauty of her property’s grounds, we were constantly reminded of and close to nature. Our party of five adults slept easily and comfortably in this wonderfully appointed and laid out home. We can’t wait to get back."
"Every aspect was phenomenal!"
"This place is absolutely magical, like nothing I have experienced before. You step into a world of butterflies and rainbows, sweet flowers, fruit, and refreshing rain. It is a vacation for your senses with a billion stars shining thru a screened bedroom window. You hear sounds of the surf, exotic birds and frogs. I found myself laughing with the pleasure of new experiences. ( My husband joked that we might see a unicorn, but we didn’t miss it). This is off the beaten path and not for anyone wanting a resort experience. Here, you connect with nature, locals, and natural beauty of Hawaii. Absolutely the best part of our two week vacation."
