A gentle pause from the pace of everyday life. Set in Nosara, Costa Rica, this retreat offers space to step back, reconnect, and recharge together.

We’re delighted to welcome participants to this first Ashtanga Yoga Immersion retreat with Melanie in Costa Rica.

❋ Intentional Structure

Rooted in the Ashtanga tradition.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Designed to support the beginning of a sustainable self-practice.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Build the awareness to observe, understand, and safely adjust your own body while cultivating a renewed balance between mind, heart, and body—leaving you refreshed, awakened, and nourished.

❋ A Supportive Space

Tucked into the peaceful jungle of Playa Pelada, the accommodations combine comfort and simplicity, creating a tranquil escape just a short journey from the vibrant center of Playa Guiones, Nosara.

Naya is located in one of the world’s five Blue Zones, an area known for the longevity and well-being of its inhabitants. Surrounded by lush jungle, it offers a natural sanctuary for rejuvenation. A rare feature in the region, it also provides direct beach access via a jungle path. In the heart of Nosara’s dynamic surfing and wellness community, Naya remains a serene refuge.
