Costa Rican Reset Yoga & Mindfulness Retreat

Playa Potrero, Guanacaste Coast, Costa Rica
January 27th – February 2nd, 2024

I'm so sorry you missed us in Costa Rica, it was incredible!

I host women-only retreats that are centered around Self-love, Self-Care, and adventure!

If you’d like to be one of the first to know about my next retreat, please sign up for my bi-monthly newsletter that includes updates on yoga classes, Akashic Record Readings, women’s circles, workshops, and more. Plus, you’ll receive an opportunity to grab early-bird discounts on the next retreat before I announce it to the public.

Sign up here & I’ll see you on our next adventure💜

Nestled on the Costa Rican Pacific coast, reconnect with yourself as you slow down to turn inward, reflect, and rediscover while in our sacred space.

 

Our retreat is designed for the adventurous woman who senses a disconnection within various facets of her life—be it her body, relationships, career, spiritual path, or something more profound, all who are seeking balance are welcome. Within the safe haven we provide, she will find a peaceful space to introspect, resolve, rejuvenate, and, above all, experience joy, allowing her to clear away the obstacles to her sacred soul connection.

Using yoga asana, guided meditation, mindfulness, movement, and other healing implementations like the Akashic Records – along with the bonds built through sacred community and friendships, she will have the freedom and encouragement to enjoy her own Self-discoveries at her own pace.

When she returns to the outside world, she will carry with her a deeper understanding of herself, a clearer sense of her desires, and a roadmap to manifest her aspirations. Her self-care toolkit will be enriched, empowering her to become a powerful Self-advocate, a guardian of her sacred boundaries, and more deeply in love with the goddess that she already is.

 

About Playa Potrero

Discover the tranquility of Potrero Beach on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast—a serene retreat with a local charm and breathtaking sunsets. The soft, golden sands stretch for miles, offering a peaceful haven far from the crowds. Engage in water adventures like snorkeling and kayaking in the warm Pacific waters, or simply savor the local flavor at beachside cafes serving authentic Costa Rican cuisine.

Potrero Beach boasts a welcoming community exuding the Pura Vida lifestyle—simple, happy, and stress-free. Embrace wildlife encounters, from capuchin monkeys to vibrant parrots, adding to the area’s natural allure. Explore the nearby beaches on foot, enjoy sunsets at one of the local beach cafes, and explore nearby tide pools.

 

What to Expect

While you’re at this retreat, indulge in the opportunity to let worries and patterns of life fall to the way-side while enjoying an experience of a lifetime snuggled amidst the magical Costa Rican coast and the mighty Pacific Ocean. Imagine building life-long friendships with like-minded individuals and discovering new and sustainable ways to indulge in Self-love. 

Deep breaths, grounded guidance, spaciousness, and playful spontaneity will guide you to relax and seek out the most authentic version of yourself. To navigate you along this path, we’ve prepared opportunities to help you step out of the box and into new Self-discoveries, leaving you feeling revitalized and eager to keep the Self-explorations coming! 

Daily Mindful Movement

Each day you will have the opportunity to engage in accessible, mindful yoga asana practices plus meditation on your mats to ground you for each day’s adventure. Most evenings, a sunset restorative yoga practice will be offered to calm and center the mind, preparing you for a deep restful sleep.

Self-Evolution Workshops

Included during your stay will be workshops to spark your inner wisdom. They can include chakra exploration, creating sacred boundaries, learning deep mindful awareness and more. The tools you’ll gain will deepen your sense of Self and add multiple offerings to your Self-care toolbox so you can live a life of clarity and calm.

Women’s Support Circle

If you’re guided to participate we’ll provide you with a safe and sacred place for you to share your thoughts and ideas about what is calling to you in the moment. Sharing is an important part of the healing and growth process and you never know when your words can help encourage and heal another.

Group Excursion

We will enjoy an afternoon on a catamaran excursion where you will have the opportunity to socialize, go swimming and snorkeling in the turquoise waters. It’s possible that we will also see turtles, dolphins or whales (group manifestations?!).

Thai Massage

During your stay, you will get to experience a Thai Massage with Leigh-Ann . Upon request, you will also have an opportunity to book additional massage services with her over the course of the stay.

Quiet Time

Quiet time while at the retreat will begin at 9pm each night and wrap up at the beginning of our morning yoga practice. This is an opportunity to reflect and create your own sacred space of healing and stillness.

After Party Integration

We understand that after having a profound experience of being at peace, getting back into the real world can sometimes be difficult. After the retreat is over, you’ll be invited for an online get together to reconnect with your new friends and discuss your thoughts and ideas on getting back to everyday life. This is a helpful way to integrate and stay grounded.

The retreat includes two vegetarian meals a day and snacks, with our first dinner together upon arrival on January 27th and a final breakfast together on February 2nd.

Getting There + Away

You have the option to fly into the Liberia airport (LIR) or San Jose (SJR), but we recommend flying into Liberia as it’s closer to Playa Potrero.
