Retreat: Costa Rica
DATES: TBD 2027
Having led annual retreats since 2015, in Costa Rica and British Columbia, we know how to create a retreat with choice, options and a great feeling. We keep them small and create a beautiful atmosphere and conditions for you to rest.
If you’d like to join us for a yoga retreat in Costa Rica in 2027 or 2028, we will let you know if we are offering it. We usually 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 enjoying the natural beauty of the surroundings with many options for activities or resting by the pool. 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 chef will ensure that you get a nourishing, delicious breakfast. For lunch we will enjoy the resort’s Zagat-rated restaurant. For dinner, we will have 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!

We recommend booking your flight to Costa Rica to the Liberia airport. Offically the Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport. (LIR). It is only a little over an hour from our hotel. This is a very small airport is safe but we do not recommend staying in Liberia as it’s not a very picturesque town to stay. We recommend a direct taxi to the hotel or stay at another beach about 40 mins away. We have a wonderful taxi driver who will take Paypal or cash. Ask us for his information.
