Immerse yourself in a transformative journey through the Yamas and Niyamas at our jungle yoga retreat, Explore & Embrace. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Costa Rica's Caribbean jungle, our workshop offers a profound exploration inward.
​
Our six-day retreat is designed to recharge your mind, body, and spirit. Be absorbed in enriching yoga practices, indulge in nourishing medicinal foods, and bask in the rejuvenating power of the jungle. This retreat is your perfect opportunity to unplug from life's challenges, rest, and ignite your authentic self.
THE CAHUITA COSTA RICA VIBES
Cahuita is located on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
We love this area because of the cool vibe and because the Caribbean Sea side of Costa Rica typically has far fewer tourists than the Pacific coast.
​
Cahuita is a fairly small town, it is the perfect place to spend a few relaxing days. With an Afro Caribbean vibe, delicious Caribbean cuisine, beautiful beaches, and an amazing national park.
​
Join us in October2024 for an unforgettable experience alongside a like-minded community.
We'll be staying at Goddess Garden Eco Resort, nestled where the rainforest meets the Caribbean Sea.
​
All reservations include nourishing meals, daily morning meditation, breathwork, and yoga asana. Dive deeper with movement practices and sacred cacao-medicine ceremonies. Engage in fun and educational workshops, and embark on excursions to indigenous reserves and chocolate tours. This retreat promises an enriching experience for all.
