Sample Private Retreats and Adventures

1 Day Samoa Retreat
Tour Samoa from a Yoga perspective. Enjoy taking your time at the various sites to drink in the beauty of Samoa. You will be picked up at your resort at 9:00am and taken through the Samoan villages to perhaps a beautiful waterfall, unique sea trench or cave pool........ (More)

3 Day Namu'a Island Retreat
Enjoy the privacy and pristine beauty of Namu'a Island in Samoa with your private yoga instructor. Namu'a is off the coast of the main Samoan island of Upolu, and visiting Namu'a is like staying on your own private island as there is only a few fales for visitors! A Samoan family takes care of you on this pristine island. Only feet away from where you sleep is the white sandy beach on the clear turquoise lagoon in which to swim. A view of the sea and lush green coastline of Upolu awaits you. Often dolphins have been seen swimming along as we walk to the other side of the island to swim in the beautiful natural "jacuzzi." (sample itinerary)

4 Day Savai'i Island Retreat
Savai'i is Samoa's largest island, has stunning waterfalls, the largest blow holes in the South Pacific, ancient ruins and of course the fa’a Samoa (Samoan way of life)! We will lead you on a Yoga Adventure in which you will experience the Samoan hospitality, visit the native villages and take plenty of time at the waterfalls and beaches. The pace is created for you, although we encourage lingering at each beautiful site. For example, a picnic is prepared to eat beside a waterfall in order to get the full experience of the prana that resides at these places of natural beauty. This is a glorious tour of the bigger but less populated Samoan island! (Detailed Itinerary)

14-Day Samoan Islands Tour
Experience true Samoan culture, practice yoga under waterfalls and relax on the beach during a private yoga tour visiting 3 islands in Samoa.

All the food at the Ayruvedic resort is pure and right for your dosha, and massages are given with traditional herbs to detoxify the skin and body.

12-day New England Tour
Explore the back roads of New England, hike Mt. Monadnock, swim in crystal clear lakes, practice yoga in the beautiful forests and stay either at campgrounds (tents are provided) or at inns or bed and breakfasts. If this is your first time hiking and camping or if you are experienced, our guides will take you on an adventure to remember. The trip can be created to be relaxing and/or as adventurous as requested. Even with the adventure there are lots of breaks to relax and enjoy the views. This is an all-inclusive trip, once you arrive at the airport or our stateside office.

Pricing

Each private retreat is uniquely designed to suit the needs of our clients, making it difficult to provide costs for every private retreat on this Web site. Each trip is quite different and created by selecting the best options for you—accommodations, food and travel style.

Prices cannot be guaranteed for future trips, but examples of present prices can be found on our private retreat pricing table. Please inquire about our many private retreat ideas and exact pricing by emailing Taialofa at taialofa@rawshakti.com.  Discounts may be available depending on our schedule.

For example, a 14-day Samoan Islands tour for 2 people is about USD $3,990 per person, which would include all private yoga instruction, ground transportation, food, lodging, entrance fees, excluding air fare and private purchases. A similar tour for 1 person would be around USD $7,000.  Our 3-day Namua retreat in Samoa usually costs USD $1,200  each, for two people including yoga, transportation from Apia, food and lodging.

Raw Shakti works to provide a fluid trip that is fun, relaxing and memorable!
