Rest. Reconnect. Return to yourself. This weeklong retreat offers a gentle pause from daily demands, creating space to slow down, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect with a grounded, joyful sense of self.
Thoughtfully designed for anyone longing for stillness and renewal, this retreat invites you to step away from the rush and settle into a more intentional rhythm.
Set against Blue Osa’s natural beauty, ocean air, and peaceful pace of life, the experience supports deep restoration and a return to center.
Each day includes mindful vinyasa flow, grounding movement, restorative practices, meditation, breathwork, and spacious time simply to be. Guests will also take part in a specialty yoga workshop created to deepen embodied awareness and intentional living.
There will be plenty of free time to swim in the ocean, journal, rest in a hammock, explore the jungle, or sit in quiet stillness.
This retreat is not about doing more. It is about softening, recalibrating, and coming home to yourself with greater clarity and steadiness.
You’ll leave feeling nourished, grounded, and deeply reconnected — not only relaxed for a week, but renewed in a way that lasts.

"The Costa Rica yoga retreat was an amazing experience. It helped me connect with other women from the studio — some I had seen in class but never truly talked with. The shared energy, conversations, and daily practices created a strong sense of community. I left feeling refreshed and deeply grateful for the connections I made." ~ Amy
"The retreat was a wonderful experience. I was able to fully disconnect from the stress and hustle of day-to-day life. The environment and the energy of both the studio community and the local Costa Rican team were incredible. I felt connected to nature and truly at peace. The daily yoga sessions were perfect, the food was amazing, and I even lost weight while on the trip. I loved having the option to add an excursion or massage as well. Overall, it was an amazing experience — and I plan to go again!" ~ Kristin
