Pura Vida Pause: Yoga, Adventure, & Re-set

Spend seven days in Costa Rica with DeAnna Shires, a Yoga Therapist and Vedic Counselor, for her second retreat at AmaTierra this coming July. Praised by AmaTierra founder Jill Ruttenberg—who has practiced yoga for 55 years and taught for 27—DeAnna is known for bringing exceptional depth to her teaching. Her classes are thoughtfully adapted to each person, offering support where needed, while her gentle style helps every guest feel welcome, comfortable, and at ease, regardless of experience or ability.

This retreat includes round-trip airport transfers, seven nights of lodging in a spacious and comfortable eco-suite with a private bath, and three gourmet meals daily prepared with organic, locally sourced ingredients while at AmaTierra. Guests will enjoy daily yoga and meditation classes, except on Tour Day and Departure Day, as well as a chakra balancing class featuring sound, mantra, and Reiki.

There will also be plenty of time to relax by the pool or beneath the canopy of nature, along with gemstone mat sessions. The program includes a day at Carara National Park and the beach, with no yoga and lunch not included, plus a hike to a local waterfall. At Los Suenos Adventures, choose one activity—zipline, cacao tour, or horseback riding—with lunch included. You’ll also have time to explore the retreat center grounds.

Optional extras include spa and wellness services at the retreat center, additional adventures for those who want more activity, organic wine and beer with meals, additional snacks between meals, and a Vedic astrology consultation with DeAnna, with only three available.
