YOUR HOST
Hi, my name is Rena, and I am so glad you’re here.
Yoga has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mom was a yoga teacher, and I grew up rolling out a mat beside her, soaking in the magic of movement and community. But somewhere along the way, I lost touch with that part of myself. Yoga faded from my life, and with it, a sense of who I really was.
It wasn’t until I returned to yoga and completed my 200-hour teacher training that I started to feel whole again. Around the same time, I discovered surfing. At first, it was messy and humbling, I wiped out constantly, feeling totally out of my element. But the ocean became my greatest teacher. It showed me patience, presence, and the beauty of surrendering to something bigger than myself.
The practices of yoga and surfing cracked me open. They brought me back to who I truly am, gave me confidence, and reminded me how alive life feels when you honor yourself. They connected me to incredible people, opened doors I never imagined, and helped me build a life that truly feels mine.
I have always known I wanted to host retreats, to gather women in breathtaking spaces, to help others reconnect with themselves, and to create moments that awaken joy, courage, and freedom. These retreats are about more than yoga or surfing. They are about connecting with other women, laughing together, breathing deeply, diving into the ocean, facing fears, and remembering that you are more capable, powerful, and worthy than you may ever believe.
I would be honored to guide you on this journey, to help you come home to yourself, and to share the freedom, confidence, and joy that comes from moving, breathing, and living fully. I can’t wait to share this journey with you and help you come fully home to yourself.
I would love to share the magic of yoga, surfing, and the sea with you. Together we will move, breathe, and explore as we come home to the wholeness already within.

Hi, I’m Morgan!
Movement has always been my favorite form of medicine. Whether I’m flowing through yoga or paddling out to surf, these moments ground me, challenge me, and bring me back to myself. Surfing and yoga aren’t just physical practices for me, they have been pathways to healing, self-awareness, and connection.
These practices became my anchors during uncertain times, reminding me that everything I need is already within. Through movement, breath, and presence, I’ve peeled back layers, healed in unexpected ways, and learned how to show up more fully for myself and others.
That journey inspired me to help others do the same. I’m a 200-hour RYT and currently studying for my doctorate in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I also work as an assisted stretch therapist, and I teach vinyasa yoga in Southern California with a focus on breath, mindfulness, and embodied awareness. My offerings extend into sound healing, meditation, and Chinese massage, all with the goal of supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
What I love most is the community these practices create. There’s something magical about moving and growing alongside others who are seeking the same connection. That’s exactly what this retreat is about, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
Hi, I’m Bekah!
For the past four years, Hawai‘i has been my home, my teacher, and my sanctuary. Living close to the ocean has given me moments of stillness, reflection, and deep connection, reminding me that healing isn’t about becoming someone new, but about returning to the wholeness that’s always been within.
As a certified holistic health coach, I trust the body’s natural wisdom and the power of presence. Whether it’s through breath, nourishing food, ritual, or conversation, I love creating spaces where others feel supported and empowered to reconnect with themselves. My work is intuitive and heart-led, shaped by my own journey of transformation.
I believe there’s something powerful that happens when women gather with intention. In those spaces, we witness each other, reflect each other’s truths, and remind one another of our worth. This retreat is an offering of that space, a chance to root down, rise up, and remember that we were never meant to walk this path alone. I can’t wait to share this experience with you!
why the name luana?
I chose the name Luana because it holds a special meaning to me, it is a blend of my name, Rena, and my rescue dog’s name, Lua, who has been my little adventure buddy through it all. She came into my life at a time when I didn’t even realize I needed her, and in so many ways, she has been my greatest teacher. Through her, I have deeply learned patience, presence, and the beauty of simply being. She reminds me every day to embrace the unknown, to find joy in the little moments, and to move through life with both curiosity and courage.
But beyond that personal connection, Luana carries such a beautiful meaning. It translates to being at ease, to enjoy, to be content, all of which perfectly embody the energy of this retreat. It is about finding joy in the present moment, embracing adventure, and feeling completely at home within yourself. In some cultures, Luana also means graceful warrior, which feels so aligned with the strength, resilience, and flow we cultivate both in the ocean and on the mat.
Luana is more than just a name, it is a feeling, a way of life, and an invitation to step into the most free and vibrant version of yourself. Just as my dog Lua has been my little mascot, guiding me in ways I never expected, I hope to share that same energy with you. My goal is to hold space for you to explore, to grow, and to discover the deep inner wisdom that is already within you.
