Island Vibes Yoga Retreats

About Liz

Liz is an ocean loving, wanderlust filled, island vibing, traveling yoga instructor. After practicing yoga for over a decade, she received her RYT 200 in 2017 from Samma Karuna, a holistic yoga school on the magical little island of Koh Phangan, Thailand, and dove further into yogic studies with Pujan Yoga in Tiruvannamalai in Southern India.

After teaching in Thailand, Liz returned to the states and began guiding classes for Bend & Blaze Yoga in Denver, Colorado, where she lived before moving to O'ahu. Through Sunset Yoga Hawaii, she discovered the joys of teaching oceanfront and the importance of incorporating nature into her yoga and wellness teachings.

Music and sound have always been important to Liz. Her first exposure to sound as a healing modality was at a retreat with Yoga Inspirations in Kaua'i in 2016. After that transformative experience, she was hooked on the power of sound as a tool for introspection and growth. Having attended several sound baths over the years and experiencing the benefits firsthand, Liz always knew that the incorporation of healing vibrations was essential to her teaching.

A lifelong traveler, Liz has always valued the power of connection - with both places and people. At the end of 2024, Liz left her beloved island home on O'ahu to head out into the world and share her teachings globally.

Now, she is excited to combine her love of exploration and connection to offer all-inclusive yoga and wellness retreats throughout the globe. Liz has hosted several retreats in Denver, Fort Collins, and O'ahu, and is looking forward to elevating those experiences to an international level! Join her in Honduras or Costa Rica in 2025!

About Island Vibes Yoga

All these experiences led to the creation of Island Vibes Yoga, a space where people can come together to unplug, recharge, and connect with their innermost selves in a supported environment. Island Vibes Yoga is accessible for all levels - from first time yogi to fellow yoga teachers.

Island Vibes Yoga was formed in 2021 on O'ahu and since then has hosted hundreds of classes and events on and iff island, and connected with a beautiful community of yogis. Over 200 yogis got to experience Elevated Vibes Yoga at Same Same But Different, a local music festival in Lake Perris, California. Now, in 2025, Liz is taking Island Vibes Yoga international, and shifting from Island Vibes Yoga into a new space: Island Vibes Yoga Retreats.

Island Vibes Yoga Retreat's mission is CONNECTION - with self, with others, with culture, with nature. Our all-inclusive retreats aim to bring people together in unique places around the world, with the goal of creating unforgettable, once in a lifetime experiences. Leave all the decision making at home, because our retreat experiences only ask that you show up as your authentic self, and we'll take care of the rest. From local cuisine, to cultural immersions, to relaxing and recharging, our retreats invite everyone to pause and enjoy the simple things in life.

Island Vibes Yoga classes are all-levels and customizable to the energy of the group. Ranging from slow, grounding yin-based classes that soothe and relax, to high-energy vinyasa flows that awaken and invigorate; each yoga session at your retreat is adaptable with opportunities to amp it up or take it down to suit your vibe.

All postures are optional and creative expression is encouraged - so whether it's your first yoga class or you're a seasoned yogi, you'll be supported in your practice. Music is a universal connection integrated into all our sessions, so expect a fresh playlist every time. Classes infuse music, breath-work, meditation, and movement to create a unique experience each time. Modifications are offered for every posture and students are encouraged to connect with their own unique vibe, regardless of what shapes are happening on the mat next to them.
