Ann's classes are meant to bring practitioners to an edge and are based on the belief that when we push ourselves out of our comfort zones and walk the edge we truly live. Fusing vinyasa with the freedom and femininity of dance, the awareness of subtle energy work, weaving in positive affirmation and awareness of our internal dialogue, Ann's inspired vinyasa flow is known for its intense strength building, strongly intention based nature, and deeply intuitive, liberating, circular movements.
Ann brings a deep reverence for the earth into her offerings and helps build conscious community around the planet. Ann leads transformational yoga journeys, workshops, and teacher trainings around the world.

Details of this retreat
Everyone dreams of coming to Hawaii to study yoga, and this program is the opportunity to live in the most remote, beautiful, and pristine part of Maui. You will visit the tallest waterfall on the island, journey to Hana to some of their favorite beaches, and also have the opportunity to visit some private beaches, farms, and swimming holes completely off the map. If you are a lover of sand and water and long to immerse yourself in the healing power of the Earth, this program is right for you.
There is absolute indescribable magic that exists in this part of the world and they are calling in participants who are humble and open enough to come with open hearts and a sense of reciprocity - ready to honor these sacred lands, tread lightly, and grow deeply. When you come to this remote part of Maui with an open heart and a clear intention, the healing that is possible is almost unfathomable anywhere else.
The training is designed to give students an immersive and life-changing experience. The Divinitree training is a yoga journey, a vision, a quest, and epic adventure of self-discovery, into and beyond the self. This is not your average teacher training. DiviniTree Yoga will cover all the bases and yet, this is truly an opportunity to step into your own power, your own vision, and your own voice.
DiviniTree Yoga specializes in Vinyasa and Hatha yoga and teaches students how to design and weave together their own 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. Kundalini yoga, Yin yoga, Restorative yoga, and Tantric yoga will be introduced by the truly masterful group of guest teachers.
Yoga is a lifestyle and in order to teach, you first and foremost need to practice. This course is focused on self-inquiry and development and includes powerful manifestation work that will aid in all facets of life. The yoga on the mat is just the beginning. 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 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.
A unique yoga training on a farm in Maui. You will be breathing clean air, jumping in waterfalls, and working with powerful herbs that will boost your immunity and keep you healthy. The farm is remote and very clean.
