Pura Vida Yoga Retreat

One week to deeply relax, surrender, tuning in and give back to yourself! 🙏✨

Are you looking for a little getaway to fill up your cup in beautiful surroundings waking up to the sounds of the nature doing Yoga every day? If that sounds like a dream to you share this beautiful retreat with us in the most magical place on this earth – Costa Rica!

I have been travelling to find the most perfect spot to host my own retreat and as soon as I arrived to El Sabanero I knew that I found it! There are two stunning outdoor Shalas where we practice Yoga with the most amazing views. Each lodge has everything you need plus a porch with your own hammock to relax in and read a book or just simply take a nap. Imagine yourself waking up in the jungle and breathing in the healthy pure air first thing in the morning, watching the monkeys climb on the trees (you can actually see them from some porches). We will make sure that you get healthy, healing, organic and of course delicious food (vegetarian) all week long. You get three meals a day and with each meal you have different options to choose from – everything is prepared with the most important ingredient – LOVE. And you will feel this while enjoying your food.

I will put all my knowledge that I was gathering since a few years in the fields of yoga and meditation together and create an unforgettable experience for you. We will try different kinds of yoga, so you can find out which style is YOUR style. There will be a bit more challenging practice in the morning so you can rise and shine and carry that yoga glow within you the whole day. In the evening we will practice a more gentle practice to really calm our nervous system, releasing tensions in our bodies and feeling what’s inside of us. Most importantly with a gentle practice we are preparing for a good nights sleep to wake up every day well rested. Filling us up with all the self care and self love because YOU deserve it.

There will be different meditations in the morning or evenings and very special events. We will have a sacred cacao ceremony together, sharing circles and a sound journey to open our hearts and support you on your individual journey within.

During the day it’s up to you.. You can enjoy whatever you long for: go to the beaches around, take a surf lesson, go shopping, take long walks in the beautiful surroundings, read a book in your hammock, give cuddles to the cats and dogs around, enjoy a dip in the pool and tan, have private yoga classes with me, go on an adventure (waterfall tours, ziplining, horseback riding, visiting the sloths in their sanctuary, seeing crocodiles from a boat, taking a sunset catamaran tour, trying out SUP yoga) or having massages. We have massage therapists coming to our lodges every day if requested. Moreover you can get massage at the beach.
If requested (must be at least 5 people) we can organize a plant medicine ceremony with an experienced shaman.

I lived with the stuff for one month myself. Everybody is warm hearted, super friendly and will do the very best they can to make you feel comfortable.
