Vairagya Yogashala
Learn the language of sound
Sound is the main event at Vairagya Yogashala: its retreat week combines training in sound healing with daily yoga and time to settle into an island setting near the beach. The school’s stated aim is to help participants lead sound-healing sessions and trainings, bringing the practice into wider community and wellness settings. Garima and Pranay are named as teachers. Between sessions, guests can enjoy organic vegetarian meals made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and guided by Ayurvedic principles. The retreat rooms have air conditioning and a simple, natural look, while the grounds are described as green and close to the shore. It’s a focused option for travelers who want practical exposure to sound healing rather than a schedule centered only on yoga. A weeklong training starts at USD 3,000, with meals included. Ask the school to confirm current dates, the training itinerary, and what else is covered before booking.

How to get there
The address is given as Island of Hawai'i, Hawaii, USA, without a specific town or street address. Contact the school for the exact venue location and directions before arranging travel.
The airport information names Elmira Corning Regional Airport (ELM), approximately 6 km from the center, but this conflicts with the Hawai'i Island location. Confirm the correct airport and transfer options directly with the school before booking flights.
