About Our Ohana Non Profit “Loving Nature”

My parents and I have worked for many years developing a non profit in Hawaii to support the social and environmental projects we do in our local Hawaiian community… international Yoga Adventures, and my global Alison’s Adventures film series that educates through entertainment.

Over my lifetime we have built, by hand, a sustainable solar powered oceanfront retreat center in Hawaii.

Change Starts At Home: “Act Local, Think Global”

Yoga Adventure, our family business, has been personally developing and sustaining a community fresh drinking water system and has supported the installation of solar electric systems for our small Hawaiian community.

Yoga Adventure, our family business, has also been offering free community yoga classes and as a family or ohana, has been active in local community programs.

Alison’s TED Talk.

The grandest treasure hunts in history sometimes reveal the greatest truths. Alison Teal, Time Magazine’s Female Indiana Jones, and O Magazine’s Oprah Of Adventure, travels the world seeking out the greatest myths, mysteries, and legends around the globe. Here, we learn about her journey to uncover “the greatest treasure on earth,” and her profound discoveries along the way. With a mission to educate through entertainment, Alison Teal is a voice for both exploration and conservation. Through her exciting film series, she shares shocking discoveries about plastic pollution, proving that “water is life.”

Alison’s Adventures Educational Film Series

Alison’s Adventures is a film series that educates through entertainment. The films and social media series has made local and global change in plastic pollution, reef protection, and cultural persecution with a focus on protecting our worlds waters. Humans cannot survive without drinking water AND if the oceans die, we die and plastic is killing our oceans.

ALL FILMS ARE FAMILY FRIENDLY AND FREE TO WATCH GLOBALLY.

Change is Possible!

The efforts of our family have been very rewarding for the last 30 years and members of the community, and communities across the world have begun to depend upon the resources we have facilitated for our neighbors and ourselves.

We need Kokua (help)

In order to maintain the support we lovingly share with our community and to create sustainability of the related programs for future generations, Deborah, Alison and David, have established the Yoga Adventure Ohana, a non-profit organization (501c3).

With donations of time and money, we can continue to support ongoing yoga related activities, movement and sports, exemplary nutritional resourcing, cultural practices, community infrastructure i.e. green transportation, green power, access to clean drinking water and off grid electrical power, ocean and aina (earth) clean up projects, and ethnic diversity, promote and work to maintain a strong, healthy community and environment.

AWARENESS INSPIRES CHANGE

Awareness will also be disseminated via social media projects, video, film and photo essays regarding our program to spread the word and raise awareness*
