Blue Dragon Hot Yoga is a Private Membership Association offering preparation and support for the transformation of a lifetime! We offer daily Hot Yoga classes, 1-4 week Yoga Immersion programs, and yearly retreats.
As a retreat space, we often host guests who are on cleanses and/or dieta, so it is of utmost priority to keep the energy on the land pure and clear. Therefore, there is no smoking of any kind, alcohol consumption, or taking of plant medicine while on site. We ask that you show up with your full presence, without the influence of any other energies. We have quiet hours before 7:30 am and after 7:30 pm to honor the retreat atmosphere.

We have many young fruit trees in the ground and are blessed to have some mature trees currently producing banana, papaya, rollenia, & avocado. In addition to growing food, we are also raising many animals and two children! You will see the girls up early in the morning playing with our three temple cats.
We are committed to living in harmony with the land, and as such we are mostly off-grid and catch our own water. We sort all of our trash meticulously for recycling. Currently plastic is NOT recycled on this island, so our Kuleana (responsibility) is to buy as little plastic as possible. We use only biodegradable and eco-friendly soaps, shampoo, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, etc. It’s a great experience in taking small actions to show our love to the ’āina (the land).

Aloha and Welcome to the Chrysalis EarthNest – Our Nature Loving Glamping Retreat!
The Chrysalis Earth Nest is a one-of-a-kind island sanctuary nestled between jungle and the ocean. Surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens, and your private driveway- This unique glamping space is a hand-crafted haven of beauty and transformation, designed to connect you with nature in comfort and peace.
Step inside to find walls of natural wood and local lava rock, a soft earthen floor underfoot, and a stunning round reciprocal roof that invites the light and sky to dance above you. The round wooden doors and semi-open-air layout allow the fresh island breeze to flow through, bringing in the scents and songs of the land.
Enjoy the comfort of a queen bed with soft bedding, ease of an attached private kitchen and your own serene bathhouse just a few steps away—complete with a shower and peaceful privacy. Whether you’re here to rest, write, reconnect, or simply be, the Chrysalis Earth Nest offers a sacred and grounding space to land.
Let the earth hold you. Let the island breathe with you. Enjoy!
Location: The site says we are in Leilani Estates, but actually we are located south of there, only 3 minutes from the coast, only 5 min to a black sand beach, only 15-20 min to natural geothermally heated hot ponds you can soak in, and approximately 50 min drive to Volcano, Pele's home.
(You will happily receive the actual address once you book! )
Our space is best for nature lovers, with several half open walls, as you will feel the elements and be serenaded by the frogs at night! Our kitchen is very simple. and our bathhouse has a flush toilet, and warm shower. We have electricity and lighting indoors, but there are no streetlights, because our neighborhood values stargazing, which is amazing here!
A few last details:
We will provide bath towels and there is soap in the shower for your use, as well.
Cell service- AT andT and Cricket cell service works best in our area.
The floor is earthen, so we have rugs, and clean it regularly, but it will appear rustic.
We do have a mosquito net over the bed, for folks who would like to use it.
And lastly, we have 2 social outdoor cats, that you aren't likely to see, but just might stop by and say hello!

1 night at Hawaii Earth Nest
The most beautiful little cottage I’ve ever seen in my life. I felt like a fairy!! I was a little off-put by the lack of screening, but there were no issues and the open air feel was amazing. The bathroom was just steps away and was very clean and comfortable. The door handles were also so unique and beautiful

1 night at Hawaii Earth Nest
The Earth Nest was magical. If you love nature, you should definitely stay here — many of the walls are completely open, which makes you feel like you’re outside while still in the comfort of a covered lodging. It was super easy to find, and the bathroom was steps away from the main cottage. There was a mosquito net over the bed, and the bed itself was unbelievably comfy. The bathroom was well-maintained and clean, and the shower had hot water, which was so nice. There was a full kitchen, which we didn’t end up using as we were just there for a night but would be super nice if you wanted to cook (and having a fridge was great). The area was quiet and beautiful. My one issue was that we felt a little nervous about the walls being completely open without any screens or anything as it didn’t feel completely safe, but we had no actual issues and it seems like a pretty secure site otherwise so it wasn’t too much of a problematic. This place really felt like something out of a fairy tale, I would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Hawaii Earth Nest
We loved staying here! It had all the bare necessities and such a beautiful space. The perfect getaway stay-cation. The only downsides: the walls aren’t screened it so mosquitos were very present! More candles would help. Also, make sure to bring your own spices and things for cooking. The pots, pans, plates and utensils were all provided but definitely bring oil, spices and any extras you’d want :)

Jeff was a great host and took really good care of us. We were able use the shower and toilet and laundry and we really enjoyed the gardens, plants and fruit trees on the property. Jeff was a really good host and spent some time visiting with us and giving us lots of great recommendations for places to go especially the Isaac Hale park with hot springs.

Jeff was an awesome host sharing his 'living the dream' spot. He was flexible about timing, super generous in his hospitality and refreshingly ecologically and socially conscious. It was wonderful to witness and experience being in such a low throughout mini homestead with all the needed amenities. In the morning it was sweet to share meditation time and fresh orange juice from his trees. I recommend meeting this wise, kind, and humble resident of the Island full of good cheer, great stories, and offering a peaceful spot from which you can hear ocean waves all eve. Thanks for a grounding place to sleep for our last eve on the island Jeff!

Simone was a warm, welcoming host. She was flexible about my shifting time of arrival, explained all of the ecologically conscious systems, gave a tour so I understood the layout, and was super friendly. What is happening at this site is really good medicine and I wholeheartedly recommend this place for folks looking for an ecologically and socially conscious place to stay when visiting Hawaii.
