SwellWomen Maui Surf, Yoga & Brain-Mind-Body Connections

With Lulu Agan ~ Chief Officer of Bliss and Dr. Sherri Hayden, PH.D., R.PSYCH, CYA-RYT250

October 30 - November 5, 2022

Join us for an exciting opportunity to expand your understanding of Brain-Mind-Body connections with Dr. Sherri Hayden!

You’ve dreamt of sandy beaches, tropical nights, cool ocean breezes, warm weather, and perfectly shaped waves.  The only way to make it happen is to take action.  Give back to yourself.  Nourish.  Challenge yourself to something new. And escape to paradise!

You will be hosted in the laid-back beach town of Kihei in a private Hawaiian-style 3-bedroom home just a 10-minute walk to the Keawakapu beach, a beautiful long white sand beach perfect for long beach walks & frolicking in the sea.  In your downtime, you can also opt to lounge poolside in the lush backyard or read a book in the hammock chair under the front mango tree.

Our Surf Coaching Team is committed to offering the highest standard of coaching to all surfing levels. They see surfing as a lifestyle and your learnings can be taken from the board to real-life experiences. They use an integrated approach, not just working with the body but also the mind and soul, preparing you to excel in the sport of surfing which will result in having more fun!  NOTE:  a 30-minute journey is required to our preferred surf breaks and it’s totally worth it!

During your stay, your day will start with a dawn patrol surf lesson to get you glowing from the inside out followed by a delicious farm-to-table breakfast and some free time.  Early afternoon we will gather for your Brain-Mind-Body workshops led by Dr. Sherri Hayden followed by a juicy restorative yoga practice led by Lulu.  The rest of the day you’ll have free time to adventure out, explore, lounge by the pool, or do whatever your heart desires.

Topics to be covered in your Brain-Mind-Body journey towards wellness and empowerment include:

DAY 1:  Understanding how women’s brain and hormonal systems uniquely impact your health and functioning (i.e, such as memory/cognition, behavior, and mood). This information will be presented in an accessible way to empower your future, long after the retreat. (Dr. Sherri Hayden)

DAY 2:  Understanding risks specific to women’s brain health, particularly during transition to menopause and beyond. (Dr. Sherri Hayden)

DAY 3:  Learning women’s specific brain and hormonal systems impact their experience of stress and mental health issues. (Dr. Sherri Hayden)

DAY 4: Understand the role of preventative measures in women’s brain health.  Learning the role of mind-body practices in brain health prevention and how to make positive changes in these areas to enhance well-being. (Dr. Sherri Hayden)

DAY 5: Learning why and how sleep, food, and exercise can profoundly impact women’s brain and hormonal systems. (Dr. Sherri Hayden & Lulu Agan)
