Train in Maui with DiviniTree and Improbable Reality!
Aloha!
We are unbelievably excited to offer this training in the remote and lush jungles of Maui, Hawaii, this November.
This is no small commitment you will make, and we are so humbled to share our soul gifts with you to enhance your unique evolution.
Please read below for important details.
The Wild Soul Divinitree Teacher Training begins November 1st at dinner, and ends November 22nd at 1pm. There are many islands in the chain that make up Hawaii; the retreat is located on the island of Maui. The main airport is Kahului Airport, which uses the code OGG.
Where will we be?
The retreat will be held on a beautiful permaculture farm, on the Eastern shore of Maui, in the blissful rainforests of Kipahulu.
This is an off grid farm and we will be encouraging a technology break as often as possible throughout the week. The Internet is available periodically; there is a landline for phone calls, as most cell service providers get spotty service at the farm. We are encouraging a digital detox as much as possible.
What's included?
This is a Yoga Alliance Certified program through which you will receive a 200 hour teaching certificate upon completion of all course requirements. Additionally, you will enjoy 21 nights of accommodations, organic meals from our personal chef, printed course manuals, airport transfer, epic excursions, daily yoga classes, Ayurvedic lectures, herbal remedies, a permaculture tour, an herbalism class, sauna with ice plunge, Thai partner massage, sound healing and so many wonderful workshops from talented local guest speakers.

The Wild Soul training is an experiential yoga journey, a vision quest, and an epic adventure of self-discovery — into and beyond the self. This immersion is designed to give students a transformative experience… and many graduates call it life-changing.
Divinitree Yoga School specializes in Vinyasa and Hatha yoga and teaches students how to design a class following the rules of intelligent sequencing. You will learn a breakdown of over 70 asanas with various modifications and variations to either accommodate newer practitioners or to bring flight to the practice with arm balances and inversions.
During the course, you will learn to safely and creatively design classes, find your voice as a teacher, and delve deep into yogic philosophy, anatomy, Ayurveda, and so much more. This particular course also involves an introduction to dream healing, herbalism, sound healing, Thai massage classes, and nature therapy.
You will study five days a week, have one day for an adventure to local beaches and waterfalls, and one day to rest, do homework, and enjoy the beauty of this remote part of Maui.
Yoga is a lifestyle and in order to teach, you first and foremost need to practice. This course is focused on self-inquiry, personal development and powerful manifestation work that will aid you in all facets of life.
The yoga on the mat is just the beginning.
The cost of the program includes all of your delicious farm fresh food. We open the day with a light fruit and tea plate before practice, followed by a large brunch, and evening supper. Please let us know any dietary needs in advance and if you are vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore.
What should I bring?
Bring comfortable clothing for yoga classes and hikes. We may be in Hawaii, but it can get chilly at night, so we value layers!
Please bring ONLY all-natural body products including sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner and body wash to respect the organic farm which we will be staying on. Consider reading through all ingredients to make sure they are Reef Safe to protect our oceans. Biodegradable is best!
