Retreat: Costa Rica

yoga retreat surf beach

NEW DATES: Feb 11 – 18th, 2024

(We usually sell out out)

Join us for a yoga retreat in Costa Rica on February 11th – February 18th, 2024. We will gather in a lush resort called SoulShine on Playa Avellanas.

With two yoga classes in the covered Shala by the pool every day – the morning class will be a little more vigorous and a salute to the Costa Rican sun, the evening practice will be slow and languid to prepare us for sleep.

Our mornings will be spent gathered together exploring and teaching each other. Your afternoons will be yours to go to the beach, relax by the pool, enjoy local excursions or come to our specialty workshops.

Our experienced cook will ensure that you get a nourishing, delicious breakfast. For lunch we will enjoy the resort’s Zagat-rated restaurant. For dinner, we will enjoy Niki’s recipes of delicious, local, and organic cuisine.

Our many years of experience running retreats in Costa Rica will ensure that your experience is smooth and relaxing. We can’t wait to host you! 

(There is amazing surfing and sunsets at this beach.)
 
We love this area, we just keep coming back. This little boutique hotel is luxurious and chill at the same time.
 
Come and play, relax and spend time in community with likeminded yoga practitioners.
