Imagine waking up to a gentle breeze across your face + the sound of water, birds, and wind rustling the palm trees outside your window filling your ears. 

 

You are calm, at ease, and rested from a good night's sleep in your comfortable, quiet room.

 

You slide on your slippers and head out to take in the fresh, island air. The sun is out and you are ready to see new things, have new experiences, and connect with your body. 

 

The morning continues with a yoga session designed to open your heart, expand your breath, and deepen your connection to yourself. It leaves you feeling mentally clear, physically strong, and emotionally grounded.

 

You're with a group of fellow seekers - ambitious, driven + growth-minded people who are looking to expand their perspective through new adventure, new ways of connecting, and new ways of seeing the world. 

 

 

The group flows into a delicious Ayurvedic breakfast and  from there opens a discussion about how to care for the body + mind by knowing your unique Ayurvedic blueprint. 

​

You are unlocking clarity + wisdom about yourself through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and you are gaining the knowledge + tools necessary to return home in greater health + happiness.

​

You are breaking down the blocks and barriers within you to your true fulfillment. 

​

You are learning new ways to care for yourself through food, sleep, movement, and self-care. 

​

You are surrounded by people who respect you + honor your journey....

​

You are home.

If you have been searching for new ways of understanding your body + health more holistically,

​

and to visit one of the world's most healing islands,

This friendly, bay-front town is small, quirky, and offers an authentic experience of Hawaii + its people. 

​

The historic Hilo House is our retreat venue for the week. It is an old, very well-kept home next door a waterfall and lush greenery. â€‹

What Makes Embrace Your Essence Retreats Unique?

​

We keep it real. We are intentional in everything we do.

We treat you like family. â€‹

​

I carefully choose the venue for each retreat so that it creates a sense of comfort, peace, and tranquility for you. 

​

A significant feature of E.Y.E. retreats is the food.

 

I was raised by a professional chef + have learned that the quality of the ingredients AND the energy of the person cooking determines

how well your body will enjoy + digest the food. 

 

The food on this retreat is home-made on-site by my dear friend + yoga mentor.

She will prepare Ayurvedic dishes that will

heal your gut + leave you feeling

lighter and brighter

​

Honest vulnerability is a guiding principle on my retreats

and is what I call "keeping it real". 

​

On the retreat, I am open, honest, and vulnerable with you. 

I share my family, my story,

and I openly invite you into a space to do the same.

​

We balance fun with deep healing + personal growth. 

 

These are more than vacations with health smoothies + yoga sprinkled in. 

 

You'll be guided through my one-of-a-kind yoga practice that I've developed over the years to help myself + my clients

feel better in their body + mind. 

 

You'll get a powerful private break-through session with me to

unlock any blocks and barriers showing up in your life. 

 

And you'll have time with your group to listen, share, and learn about health, healing, and happiness. 

 

This is where the next, best chapter of your life begins.

Are you ready?

Hey! I'm Parinaz
 

I know it can be hard finding the time for rest & self-care
when there are always other things on your mind or you’re just too tired from life.

 

That's exactly why I created this retreat...  
Because sometimes, all we need is a little break from the norm
so we can recharge and connect with others
who understand what it means to live a balanced life.

 

You’ll spend the weekend surrounded by the natural beauty of Hilo, Hawaii.

You’ll wake up to crisp, clean air each day and
the peaceful silence of this sanctuary will fill you with relaxation and   

​

I’m so excited to take this journey with you!

Parinaz
