Welcome to Kapwa House
Hiiii! My name is Iza Narag, I’m a Filipina American yoga teacher, space holder, friend and forever student of Yoga. The connection I have to my home state and my Filipino roots deeply shapes the way I show up in this world. Sharing this practice in so many fun and meaningful ways is such a privilege. My heart swells daily with the joy this practice and its people bring into my life.
Kapwa House is my way of weaving community into yoga, again and again. It’s an ever-growing project, shaped by all of you — a living reminder that we’re all connected. And that makes my heart so warm.
A Word That Holds So Much
Kapwa is a Filipino word that means “shared identity.” It reflects the idea that we are not separate from one another, but deeply connected. It’s a reminder of the space between self and community, and the healing that can happen when we remember we belong to each other.
Kapwa House carries this intention. It isn’t just a name. It’s a way of being—with each other, with the land, and with ourselves.

My Path to This Work
I’ve been teaching yoga for five years, but the deeper thread in my work has always been about care. I’m drawn to the ways movement, ritual, and community can help us find ourselves again.
Kapwa House came from a desire to do things differently. I didn’t want to host retreats that felt performative or overly curated. I wanted to create something honest. A place where people could rest, connect, and be seen without having to prove anything.
My roots are a blend of Filipino heritage, contemplative practice, and deep listening. I lead with presence, not perfection. I believe in holding structure with softness. I believe in people as they are.
Why This Exists
Kapwa House was built to offer more than just beautiful views or yoga schedules. It’s a space for cultural connection, emotional honesty, and intentional rest.
Every retreat is different, shaped by the group and the land we’re on. But the heart remains the same. We move. We share meals. We tell the truth. We let ourselves be held.
This is not about escaping your life. It’s about coming home to it.
