My name is Alyssa, and I’ve been teaching yoga for almost three years at two amazing studios in New York City. As a full-time occupational therapist, I’m passionate about helping others find balance and wellness in their lives. Yoga has been a transformative journey for me, and I’m excited to share this experience with you. Together, we’ll explore mindful practices that not only enhance our physical strength but also promote inner peace and connection. I hope this retreat inspires each of us to grow, learn, and cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Today, you arrive in Costa Rica to begin your retreat into the empowerment of your yoga practice. You’ll arrive at Limòn International Airport and join with your fellow travelers for the first time, eager for the adventure ahead. A group airport transfer will whisk us from the bustling city into the tranquil jungles and shores of Puerto Viejo. We will arrive at Sonora Caribbean Jungle Retreat together to check in. After taking the time to settle into the resort, explore the on-site offerings, and unwind from our travels, we will come together for a welcome circle, officially introducing ourselves to each other and immediately cultivating community amongst ourselves. Afterwards, we will enjoy dinner at the resort together before retiring to our rooms to recharge for a day of activities tomorrow.
On our first full day together, we will begin with a hearty breakfast together before group meditation. Next, we’ll head on our boat tour. Snorkeling in Puerto Viejo’s clear waters is the highlight of our outing, offering you the opportunity to see the stunning flora and fauna of the region. After a morning indulging in nature’s endless unspoiled beauty, we will return to Sonora Caribbean Jungle Retreat together for time to rest, relax, explore, and enjoy lunch. We will come together for a moment of meditation and journaling before a yoga flow session realigns the group and stokes the feelings of relaxation and connection amongst us. We will then enjoy dinner and discussion of the day’s events. Following the meal, take the rest of the evening to immerse yourself in an activity of your choosing - perhaps enjoy one of the resort’s amenities, witness the sun lower down the horizon over the ocean, or rest up in your well-appointed and ultra-cozy room.
Day three promises a full schedule of enjoyment and empowerment alike. Begin your day with breakfast before diving into another meditation and journaling session that calls on your experiences so far and expectations of what is to come. Then, prepare to be amazed by an excursion to the National Park of Cahuita, which stands as a reminder of how collaboration in the community for a shared goal yields awe-inspiring results. We will return to the resort afterwards for lunch, then deepen your yoga practice through a strength session led by Alyssa. After some time to recharge on your own terms, have a hearty dinner and share reflections on our discoveries. A yoga flow session sets a tone of relaxation and self-reflection before we retire to our rooms to rest and recharge.
On our final day together, we begin again with a healthy breakfast provided by our resort and then dive into a grounding meditation practice, with time to journal and reflect before preparing for our outing of the day. We’re taking a trip to a towering waterfall, offering the opportunity to observe nature’s power (and get some great photos!) and participate in a cacao tour, giving us a glimpse at the origins of the product we all know and love. We will return to the hotel for some free time to spend your way, perhaps to catch up with your new friends, unwind at the spa, or continue your reflections on your practice. Before dinner, a yoga strength/flow combo will get the blood pumping before easing into a slow flow that sets the mood for a peaceful dinner. After a shared meal, we will participate in an inversion practice and free yoga play, which introduces the opportunity to take your existing skills to new heights, perhaps even trying something you’ve never attempted with the encouragement and support of this travel crew.
Today marks the final chapter of our transformative retreat. Begin your day with a nourishing breakfast, fueling your body and mind for the closing to come. Embrace the stillness of meditation and the reflective power of journaling, allowing you to carry the newfound wisdom and tranquility with you. A yoga session offers a final opportunity to connect with your body and breath, solidifying the practices that have empowered you throughout this retreat. After checking out of Sonora Caribbean Jungle Retreat, we'll catch a group transfer to the airport, carrying with us the vibrant memories and profound connections forged during this unforgettable experience. Your adventure may end here, but the transformation you've undergone will continue to bloom long after you've returned home.
