Tāfega: Flow Like the Ocean
Go with the Flow in Samoa
Tāfega means to flow—to move effortlessly, like the ocean.
In the heart of Polynesia, Samoa invites you to surrender—to the tides, to the breath, to the natural rhythm of life. Led by guest teacher Emma Strembickyj, this retreat is an invitation to release resistance, soften into presence, and trust the currents that carry you.
Through Kriya Yoga, Himalayan Breathwork, and deep rest, we’ll embrace the wisdom of water—moving with ease, adapting with grace, and flowing where life leads.
Pause. Surrender. Flow.
Tāfega with us in Samoa.
The Offering
Flow Through 8 Days in Paradise
Surrender to the rhythm of island life, where each day unfolds like the tides—effortless, fluid, and free.
Flow through daily Yoga, Himalayan Breathwork, Kriya and meditation, all woven into the rich warmth of Samoan culture.
Rooted in sustainability, this retreat honours nature, from carbon-offset flights to a special cacao ceremony featuring the world’s finest cacao.
Float in the crystal-clear waters of Lalomanu, drift through the breathtaking To Sua Trench, and snorkel vibrant reefs teeming with life. Sail to deserted islands, chase waterfalls, or simply flow at your own pace—every moment an invitation to move with ease and surrender to joy.
This retreat welcomes all levels, with every experience optional. Bring friends, family, or partners—there’s space for everyone to flow.
Let the ocean guide you.

Justine Davis
After a recent trip to Samoa with my partner and spending time with his Samoan family, I fell in love with this magical, serene country. The relaxed pace and the warmth and pride of the Samoan people make it an ideal place for a retreat.
With over 20 years of yoga practice, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at the same studio where the wonderful Emma taught. I was inspired by her teaching and later attended a retreat she co-hosted in Peru in 2019.
In 2021, I co-founded Yacht Club Yoga in Port Melbourne, where I’ve organized retreats and workshops throughout Victoria. I have a keen interest in Yin Yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, meditation, and mindfulness, and I'm passionate about the concept of The Blue Mind.
I look forward to sharing the beauty of Samoa and the transformative power of yoga with you!

Emma Strembickyj
Emma's yoga journey began in her mid-20s after the birth of her two daughters. Seeking movement beyond her classical ballet training, she discovered yoga, which helped her address post-natal depression and an eating disorder.
In 2011, during her training at Byron Yoga Centre, Emma experienced a profound turning point that marked the true beginning of her healing journey. This experience not only helped her confront personal challenges but also ignited her passion for teaching.
Her deep understanding of mental and emotional challenges shapes her teaching style, creating a balanced environment of strength and support. Emma’s dedication to her practice has taken her across continents, studying under revered teachers and recently completing 400 hours of training in India.
Through her life experiences and devotion to yoga, Emma invites each student into a space where they are seen, held, and empowered to connect deeply with themselves through these transformative teachings.
