It’s a yoga retreat mixed with a tribal bellydance intensive— all done Aloha-style.

“If you have never been to the big I, Hawaii, you are in for a real treat. Tribal. Earthy. Powerful. Paradise. Fire-y. Gorgeous. Dolphin swims and jungle jaunts. Plumeria flowers whose fragrance will wow you. Eating lilquoi fruit right off the vine...
A perfect place to both immerse in tribal bellydance and rejuvenate with yoga/massage/rest/organic living/relaxation induced by being on the islands... Ramashala is a sweet ‘lil retreat center just across the street from the famous black sands beach, which is quite the tribal scene on Sundays..I've spent a lot of time on the Big I, and am really excited to bring you all a rich experience of both hard-core dance technique, and fun relaxing island living! Sharon and I have a lot of new 'never been done before' things up our sleeves for this retreat. come join us! (small group 20. )” –deb
