Join me for a once in a lifetime opportunity to practice yoga in the Costa Rican jungle.

Casa Luna - Samara, Costa Rica

February 6 - 11th, 2025

Journey through the self with yours truly at Casa Luna, a spacious 3,000 sq. ft. home overlooking the Pacific Ocean, just outside the quaint beach town of Samara. Casa Luna is a family owned retreat centre designed with wellness at its core. The outdoor area features a large infinity pool, cold plunge, and a yoga shala with an expansive jungle and ocean view.

What Will We do?
The retreat program is all about "pura vida" - living simply to calm down our busy brains and regulate our nervous systems. Each day will include guided yoga, meditation, breath-work and cold plunging, a holistic program designed to help you recharge, reset and connect. Guests can enjoy a mid-retreat adventure to the quaint town of Samara, where they can swim in the ocean, visit hip cafes and shops, or try add-on excursions like surf lessons, horseback riding and volunteering at a local dog rescue.

Why Should I Join?
This retreat is an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, self-care, and strengthen your body, mind and spirit alongside a like minded community.

 

What Else Should I Know?

This retreat centre is an intentionally designed wellness sanctuary and home owned by and hosted by an inspirational family that takes care of all of our needs, from transport to food to coffee to riveting conversation and play. 
They will be present during the retreat, the space is communal - and that's part of my intention in hosting here. We aren't retreating to be isolated and apart, we are retreating to be connected and create collective joy! Also, it's worth noting that is not an all inclusive yoga resort either- we are sharing bathrooms, communal space and energy. We are coming together as a small community of yogis to evolve and rest together. If you're looking for a more high end experience, I can recommend some other great retreats for you. Maybe I'll host one of those one day, but those of you that know me know I love a cozy community environment (just like we have at YogaSpace!)
