Roots & Wings
Yogic Immersions on the Big Island of Hawai‘i.
Where volcanic power meets oceanic wisdom,
a journey through the heart of Yoga
on Hawaii's wildest coast.
"Truly one of the greatest experiences of my life."
The Invitation
Something ancient lives in you.
A rhythm. A knowing. A quiet pull toward coherence.This summer, in the lush sanctuary of Hawai‘i’s wild Puna coast,
we are gathering for intimate, immersive yoga teacher trainings
— and much more than that.These are circles of awakening — part retreat, part initiation, part remembrance.
A space to move, breathe, study, and soften.
A field where the teachings land not only in the mind,
but in the body, the heart, and the living moment.You are invited to join us.
To return to the rhythm beneath the noise.
To deepen your path with sincerity, devotion, and joy.
"I have already recommended this school to other yoga practitioners.
I am a better yogi and a better person for having been his student."
The Difference
Roots & Wings blends the rigor of a traditional training with the aliveness of a transformational retreat.
We offer a full-spectrum education in yoga — while holding space for personal unfolding, creative expression, and communal resonance.This is a living transmission.
The teachings are embodied, the lineages honored, the evolution welcomed.
We meet you where you are and walk with you into deeper alignment with who you’re becoming.Our circles are small and strong.
The atmosphere is both grounded and luminous.
You’ll receive a complete foundation in yogic practice and philosophy
— and space to integrate it all in your own way.
"This is more than a training — it’s a deep remembering.
The atmosphere, the teachings, the music…
it cracked me open in the best way."
Your Guides
Allowah Lani brings nearly three decades of yogic study and teaching, along with twelve published books and a heart full of music, mysticism, and generosity. He holds space with quiet wisdom and joyful precision, inviting each student into deeper clarity and authentic expression.Beata Lani is a radiant guide in movement, nourishment, and subtle presence.
