Release, Transform & Heal in Costa Rica: 6-Day Yoga Retreat with Candace

Welcome to Costa Rica! We’re thrilled you’ve made the journey to Montezuma for a relaxing wellness getaway with like-minded souls. This area on the Nicoya Peninsula is known for its white-sand beach, jungle trails with majestic wildlife, and chill surf culture, all of which you’ll get to experience first-hand.

If you’re arriving today, take your group transfer from the airport to your resort and meet the rest of the group. After you get settled, we’ll come together for a Welcome Circle & Yoga before taking a walk around the venue as a group.

At 1:30 pm, we’ll head into town to enjoy some local shopping and culture, seeing what Montezuma is all about. Once we return to the resort, we’ll partake in a delicious group meal and meditation centered on helping us get a great night’s sleep.

Rise and shine to a beautiful morning in Costa Rica, where the birds are chirping and the sun is smiling down upon us all. We’ll start our day with a yoga and meditation session in the resort’s gorgeous open-air shala that offers peaceful solace and pristine views of the lush landscape all around. After refueling with a delicious breakfast spread, we’re off to the Montezuma waterfalls for a guided hike through the beautiful scenery. Take all the pictures you can and go for a swim in the stunning warm pools. We’ll also partake in a Guided Earth Element Meditation at the falls, the perfect backdrop for peace and grounding.

We’ll eat a picnic lunch and then return to the resort for some free time to refresh and integrate. Finally, the day reaches a conclusion with dinner and Yoga Nidra, a chance to nourish the body and the soul.

Wake up with a morning yoga session as the sun rises over the treetops, while you breathe in the fresh air and good vibes of this jungle paradise. After breakfast, we’ll focus on the chakras with a workshop run by Candace. From here, grab lunch and enjoy some downtime to hang by the pool, hike around the property, or book an excursion to see more of the area.

At 3:00 pm, we’ll meet back up for a chanting session at the tree deck to align and connect with the natural world. Then at 5:00pm, a tranquil sound bath will help us realign to frequencies of love, abundance, and healing. Finally, we’ll close out the night with dinner, where we can share, reflect, and foster joy amidst the starry sky.

After yoga and breakfast, we’re going on an adventure to Tortuga Island – a literal heaven on Earth. This remote respite features an array of fun to be had, such as sugar-white beaches, warm water and beach bars. Have all the fun you can before we head back to the resort.

After some time to freshen up, indulge in another delicious local dinner before a guided meditation that will ensure a relaxing night’s rest.

We’re waking up to our final full day in Montezuma, but we’ll do so with smiles on our faces as we stretch it out in morning yoga. Use this session to release anything that no longer serves you and offer thanks to the universe for this awesome experience in Costa Rica. After breakfast, we’re heading to the beach! Grab your swimsuit and enjoy a day of sea and sun healing. During our excursion, experience a workshop focused on releasing your inner child, followed by a Guided Earth Elements Meditation.

When we return to the resort, we’ll have some downtime before we start saying our goodbyes at a farewell dinner — a time to reflect on all that you’ve learned, all that you’ve shared, and all that you wish to accomplish once you return home. The night closes out with a guided meditation to solidify all the hard work we’ve accomplished. Breathe in, breathe out, and smile.

Rise and shine to the beauty of Costa Rica with yoga and breakfast, savoring the sunrise, the ambient jungle sounds, and the Pura Vida peace. From here, you can either pack up and take your group transfer to the airport to catch your flight home, saying goodbye to paradise, or book the post-trip extension to enjoy one more day of relaxation and wellness. (See add-ons for pricing and more information.)

If you’re choosing to stay, we’ll head out for a nature hike to immerse ourselves in this idyllic setting one last time, enjoying a packed lunch along our travels. After some downtime back at the resort, we’ll close out this trip with a sunset dinner in the local village where we'll savor the flavors of the country and finalize our time here with a closing circle. Once our night is complete, we’ll head back to the resort and rest, preparing to depart in the morning.
